I see there is some confusion. There are many ways to say it in English...but you guys have to tell me WHAT you want to say in English. Please make a decision.
atasözleri direkt çevrilmediği için yani büt yerine borç koyulsaydı yine böyle mi olacaktı? bardaktan boşalırcasına yağmak deyimini "raining cats and dogs" diye çeviriyoruz. Fazla Türkçe düşünülmüş bir çeviri olmuş."make up examination is a whip to the brave.".... emin olamıyorum???
You have a point in your comments pinark , I agree this is a literal translation but I think the text meant to be a literal version of the proverb you mention. So dramati, I'll change "whip" as "challenge (something which tests one's ability)" as it sounds too literal for everyone.
