Savez vous la traduction de cette expression Français ? "Avoir l'épée au-dessus de la tête". Peut être synonyme de "avoir la corde autour du coup".
Merci

"The sword of Damocles" is a dangerous situation, but it's a fairly literary reference, not one used in everyday spoken English.
"There's a millstone round my neck" (un boulet au pied) perhaps? Off hand, I can't think of anything better, but I'm sure someone else will!

Merci bien, cheers!
ok merci !
"The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head," sings the newly "born" (and none too bright) Rocky in The Rocky Horror (Picture) Show. I wouldn't consider it that highbrow an allusion.
