Feifei: This is The English We Speak from Feifei: Questo è L'Inglese Che Parliamo di

who's done all of his work and says

it's going to be all downhill until sarà tutto in discesa fino a

things are going to be easy. le cose saranno facili.

But, Rob, I have a question.

Rob: Oh yes?

Feifei: The phrase 'to be all downhill' Feifei : L'expression 'être tout en descente'

isn't always used in a positive situation. n'est pas toujours utilisée dans une situation positive.

Sometimes it is used to describe Parfois, elle est utilisée pour décrire

situations that get worse. Such as... situazioni che peggiorano. Come ad esempio...

The film's opening scene was amazing, |du film|||| la scena di apertura del film era incredibile,

but it was all downhill after that - there was ma è stato tutto in discesa da quel momento - c'era але після цього все пішло під укіс - було

no story and the acting was appalling! ||||||épouvantable ||||||entsetzlich ||||recitazione||terribile ніякого сюжету, а гра акторів була жахливою!

Rob: Feifei are you absolutely ||||absolument

sure about this?

Feifei: Yes, it's true - and your week

is definitely going to be all downhill.

Rob: In a bad way, I suppose?

Feifei: Yep. Neil's just gone off sick |Ja|Neil ist|||| Так. Ніл щойно захворів.
