French translation Question Posted Wednesday November 30 2005, 5:54 pm Hi - anyone who can speak French
I'm having trouble translating this expression and wondered if anyone could help
"he had eyes only for the princess" or "he only had eyes for the princess"
meaning that he loved only her, he didn't look at other girls.
thanks! [ Answer this question ]Additional info, added Friday December 2 2005, 3:07 pm: I just need to clarify - I want an idiomatic, equivalent translation. I am an advanced student of French myself, and so I can make literal translations with no problem, I just don't think a literal translation will carry the same meaning. So - a native French speaker please, can you give me an equivalent! .Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?

He only had eyes for the princess
Il avait seulement des yeux pour la princesse
He didn't look at other girls
Il n'a pas regardé d'autres filles
He loved only her

Hope i helped =)

I came up with:
He had eyes only for the princess: Il avait des yeux seulement pour la princesse
He only had eyes for the princess: Il avait seulement des yeux pour la princesse
He loved only her: Il a aimé seulement elle
He didn't look at other girls: Il n'a pas regardé d'autres filles
Keep in mind these translations may not be EXACT. It's a computer.. Not a French teacher. But I hope that helped =) [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]More Questions:
