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.
