تمثل عواطفه Explanation: In common US English, this refers to behavior that represents some unconcious meaning - the third item in Nesrin's citation. For example, troubled teenagers are said to "act out" when they behave obnoxiously or destructively, rather than articulating their frustrations verbally - i.e., they "perform" or "act out" their emotions, presumably because they lack the means to express themselves otherwise. I'm not sure how to express this in Arabic. |

peer agreement (net): +2التصرف باندفاع Explanation: According to the dictionary, "to act out" can mean the following: 1. a) To perform in or as if in a play; represent dramatically: act out a story. b) To realize in action: wanted to act out his theory. 2) To express (unconscious impulses, for example) in an overt manner without conscious understanding or regard for social appropriateness. I assume in your list it has the second meaning, as it seems to be a list of negative habits/ characteristics. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 24 mins (2004-08-31 07:36:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- By \"second meaning\" I meant the item 2) |
