duck soup = very easy. (Commonly used by gumshoes in books by Chandler and Spillane) I suggest changing it is to "it's".

Incomprehensible to normal English speakers, although "duck soup" is in the Oxford English Dictionary.

I challenge any defender of this sentence to adopt it.

I'm not about to adopt it but - (A possibility??)

"It's easy-peasy for a loose woman to find a new man."

Having translated novels, I have to point out that a translation should also reflect the style of the original. So my question here is: Does the Japanese sentence also use arcane colloquialisms?
