cunning of word
Je suis désolée, mais je ne dirais pas en français "malin avec les mots", cela ne sonne pas du tout français (qui est ma langue maternelle) ; ce serait plutôt "habile avec les mots", comme on dit "habile de ses mains" ; je vois très bien quelqu'un dire en français "il est plutôt habile avec les mots !" dans le sens "il est beau parleur".
Ce serait peut-être "un homme beau parleur et tout sourire est rarement bienveillant". Maybe... |

un homme beau parleur : non
cunning est plus que cella. There is trickery involved, like in Machiavelli: "Machiavellian suggesting the principles of conduct laid down by Machiavelli; specif : marked by cunning, duplicity, or bad faith" "Beau parleur" is not as negative as that. |
