Vertaling van "maillet ait effrayé certains " (Frans → Engels) :

Il y avait quorum, mais il semble que le maillet ait effrayé certains collègues, puisqu'il y a deux minutes, nous étions plus nombreux.
We did have quorum, but my mallet seems to have frightened some of our colleagues, since there were more of us two minutes ago.

Il semble que le gouvernement libéral qui a promis un tel geste ait été effrayé par ceux qui affirment qu'il ouvre la porte toute grande à la reconnaissance légale des mariages entre homosexuels ou, comme certains ont osé le prétendre, à la légalisation de la pédophilie.
It seems the Liberal government which has been promising such a move has been scared off by those who suggest it opens the way to legal recognition of gay marriages, or, as some outrageously have alleged, it could lead to the legalization of pedophilia.
