[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:11 doesn't seem to like the "on par" translation.[/quote]

"Au pair: young person (usually a young woman) from a foreign country who lives with a family and helps to care for children and do housework in return for the opportunity to learn the family's language". Odd, the phrase "on par" doesn't seem to be in there. Must be lost in the translation.

You can keep trolling, troll, but the facts are on our side. [/quote]
What facts? You failed your French class? Or never studied French? What a shame.[/quote]

And, again, you miss the point. The issue is not how the phrase"Au Pair" is literally translated into English, but what is the actual English definition of the phrase. Once you understand the concept of a literal translation and how it may not align with the actual translation, please explain it to the OP as she seems to misunderstand the word "family". [/quote]
