every situation is different Explanation: Here is a good explanation of what the phrase means: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=0BxLGKpJTigC&pg=PA206&lpg... A literal translation won't work in English, and you'll probably have to use a more direct version. This is just one idea. |

different strokes for different folks Explanation: this goes well with 'flexibility' and 'adapting oneself to each situation'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2008-04-14 16:44:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Besides, it is a saying - as the original phrase is. |

a horse for every course Explanation: Example: Global fragmentation of the music business has meant there's now ***a horse for every course*** and it's more possible to reach a target audience with your music. http://www.pressurezone.co.uk/conversation.php More examples: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geu_DqngNIIWwA.EhXNyoA... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-04-14 18:25:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- in this context it would mean that the manager can perform equally well, whatever the conditions are which he is dealing with. |

each bull must be fought differently by the matador Explanation: I thought of looking for an equivalent in English (referred to animals, bronco busting for ex.) but haven't thought of any one. This refers to how a matador has a few seconds in the ring to know exactly how a bull uses its horns, how it will respond to the cape, etc. Perhaps a better way to phrase it can be found. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2008-04-15 18:33:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- César's answer is the same (to explain), but I think it doesn't put the emphasis on how impt it is for a manager to be able to size up the people they work with and know how best to tackle each individual's psychology. |
