L'homme égale le loup en férocité (Man equals wolf as far is ferocity is concerned) L'homme l'emporte sur le loup en férocité (Man is superior to wolf as far as ferocity is concerned). L'homme dépasse (surpasse) le loup en férocité (id) Le loup n'arrive pas à la cheville de l'homme pour la férocité (Wolf doesn't get to the level of man's ankles for ferocity). Le loup n'atteint pas le niveau de l'homme... etc. ===== Philippe Caquant Ceterum censeo *vi* esse oblitterandum (Me).
