Hi,

What is your try?

Double click on the words to get a translation.

Does 'paper' refer to 'newspaper'? If so 'grab the limelight'might have the same meaning.

Regards.

Hello,thanks for you help, this sentence comes from the exercise 55710 (voix active ou passive)
"I'm judged by my appearance, in my everyday activities, when I grab the paper or even when I simply blow my nose,...."

is it an English expression ???
Regards, AMA

Hello!

In American English "the paper" is a nickname for "the newspaper" and it is delivered to your front door. This means that you need to step outside your house to get it which gives the paparazzi a golden opportunity.

For example:

"Did you see that article in the paper?"

Dites-moi si vous ne comprenez pas et j'essayerai de traduire en français.

Cordialement
