Spanish saying
Hello all. Thank you again to everyone who helped me with my Arabic name questions.
I'm still working on my translation of a Spanish play and encountered a saying. I understand what it means, but I'm having trouble thinking of an English language equivalent:
Eso es echar fieros a sus espaldas, y después temblar en su presencia.
It's refers to speaking ill of someone behind their backs and fearing them when face to face.
I'd appreciate any help.
