peer agreement (net): +3| i was kind of the third member of the triumvirate. я был как-бы третий лишний Explanation: again, depends on the context, if he was talking about Julius Caesar anywhere there, and there's only three of them in the band I would definitely use the word триумвират, but if he's talking only about situation where he'd meet a girl with one of his bandmates and fell ignored by the girl, then третий лишний -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2008-02-26 00:21:09 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- спасибо |
