English term or phrase: pick up the pieces
Propozitia este "He was here pretty quick to pick up the pieces." Un barbat este ucis, iar prietenul lui devine iubitul sotiei acestuia. Remarca de mai sus se refera la prieten.
In engleza am gasit echivalentul : "to try to get back to an ordinary way of life after a difficult experience".
Multumesc anticipat pentru ajutor !
