Dear teachers,

Would you please tell me how we would say the following expressions in English?

1) les gens de théâtre ?

2) deviner / percevoir l’intelligence d’une personne = to perceive someone’s intelligence ?

3) provoquer le destin ?

Many thanks,
Hela

Hela, you'll need someone better than I am at French to confirm this (Pieanne, are you looking?), but

1) Theater people? People in show business?

2) Your translation seems right to me.

3) To tempt fate
