"l'offense qui se fait à l'homme" est un peu bizarre

plutôt : L'offense qu'on fait à l'homme

C'est une traduction de 1683, donc un peu archaïque (par Abraham-Nicolas Amelot de la Houssaie).

je pense que ce n'est pas seulement archaïque. C'est une mauvaise traduction...

This sentence is original and was not derived from translation.

Il faut amadouer les hommes ou s'en défaire, parce qu'ils se vengent des offenses légères et qu'ils ne sauraient se venger des grandes. De sorte que l'offense qui se fait à l'homme lui doit être faite d'une manière qu'il n'en puisse tirer vengeance.

➜ #1922953Men ought either to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, but of more serious ones they cannot. Therefore, the injury that is to be done to a man ought to be of such a kind that he cannot take revenge.

➜ #1928455Vi flatlogu homojn aŭ forlasu ilin, ĉar ili sin venĝas pri leĝeraj ofendoj, sed ne scipovas pri gravaj. Tial ofendu ilin nur tiel, ke ili ne kapablus venĝi.

➜ #13049538我哋要氹啲男人或者擺脫佢哋，因為佢哋會為輕微嘅罪行報仇，而唔可以為重大罪行報仇。 所以對人所犯嘅罪行，必須以一種令佢唔可以報仇嘅方式去對待佢。
