From battle to debate Explanation: My first thought is to keep the simplicity and few words of the Italian. Or a bit longer... from armed conflict to peaceful confrontation -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2017-02-21 18:07:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- From firing canons to firing questions -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2017-02-21 18:10:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Although to fire questions has a slightly negative meaning so maybe to fire away would be better fire away Start to talk or ask questions. For example, You've got more questions? Well, fire away. This expression originated in the 1600s as a military command to discharge firearms and was being transferred to other actions by the late 1700s. |
