anglais term

fatigue duty

anglais vers français Autre Histoire
Armouries world wide, due to their origins, have always suffered from an army mentality, i.e. used as a fatigue duty for troops to polish everything to a high level regardless of its original appearance.

j'ai du mal à formuler cette longue phrase et en particulier l'expression "fatigue duty". merci pour vos suggestions.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Ma suggestion: "Du à leur origine, les armureries / arsenaux d'armes ont souffert partout dans le monde les conséquences de la mentalité militaire, etant donné qu'une des corvées des soldats était de tout astiquer à fond sans aucune considération pour l'aspect original des pièces"
