highlights and lowlights

[Bloomin]

Hi everyone,

Is there any equivalent in French for "lowlights"? As in "highlights and lowlights of your experience".
Maybe simply "points positifs et négatifs"?

 

[OLN]

J'ajouterais un superlatif ou équivalent, p. ex les plus marquants, significatifs.

ou : les temps forts et ceux moins forts

I think your translation, "point positifs et négatifs" is good. I could also see using "les pires moments".

 

[OLN]

"Points positifs" est un peu fade comparé à highlights.
Experience est vague. Quel est le contexte ? Est-ce du domaine professionnel ? S'agit-il d'évènements vécus ?

 

[ain'ttranslationfun?]

"des [points/moments] plus hauts et plus bas de... ". [Is this a reference to one's career — in a job inteview or application, for instance? If so, "de votre vie professionnelle" could replace "existence".]

(X-ed avec OLN.)

HIGHLIGHTS= Points culminants // le clou (d'un spectacle)...
LOWLIGHTS= Les pires moments/exemples....

 

[OLN]

ou : les hauts et les bas notables /les plus marquants de...

On attend le contexte !

I have never come across lowlights as an expression used orally meaning the opposite of highlights. (BritE)
