– Don’t think that you’re going to get your own way
– Don’t think on getting your own way
– Don’t go thinking you’re going to get your own way
Los ingleses usan dos tipos de expresiones:
– «To get your own way»
– «To get away with it»
– «To work your way out of it»
Ambas significan «salirte con la tuya». Sin embargo «To get away with it» y «to work your way out of it » tienen el matiz de salirte con la tuya pero sin ser castigado. Es decir «irte de rositas» o » salir airoso de una situación».
Examples:
-If I thought I could get away with it, I wouldn’t pay my taxes at all
-My little brother always gets his own way
-Don’t try and work your way out of it. I know you have broken my glasses.
-Don’t try and work your way out of it. I know you have broken my glasses.
