Bonjour,

Je voudrais traduire cette phrase qu'un père dit à sa fille: "Fais attention (ou prends garde) à aimer deux hommes à la fois (en même temps) tu ne sauras plus aimer (tu n'en aimeras plus aucun).


Je ne sais pas quelle tournure employer pour "à aimer..." sans tomber dans la facilité et dire" if you love two men at the same time ..."

merci

Would Be careful not to love two men simultaneously/at the same time ... fit ?

 

Be careful of loving two men...

 

"à" has a notion of persistence, so I would suggest

If you persist in loving two men at the same time, ...

But it is not as poetic as the french sentence

 

You're right Angle, I didn't follow the french sentence. I said : Attention de ne pas aimer ...
Yours' right

 

Mind/take care you don't love two men at a time, otherwise you will not be able to love anymore

 

Take care not to favour two gentlemen at once, for you could not love then either one.

 

By loving two men at a time, you may not be able to love any of them anymore?
Could it be correct?
