| Aug 8, 2017 at 9:03 | comment | added | AndyT | The question is unclear, for the reason given by EdwinAshworth. I have read the comments to try and understand, but I have no clue what you mean by the phrase "you can be sure to assign a work to him or here anymore"; it is not good English. Voting to close as "unclear what you're asking", but hoping that you can provide the clarification as I love these "translate idiom" questions. | |

| Aug 7, 2017 at 20:59 | comment | added | Tom22 | I see. We are less accustomed to people who might be a hero being arrested for political causes. | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 20:59 | comment | added | kazhvan | yes @TOM . we can not rely on him is more exact .I will edit it . Thank you | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 20:58 | comment | added | Tom22 | It's not quite a noun but a description - might be "All ~X and No ~Y~" (see examples for Xand Y given in an answer to this perhaps related question english.stackexchange.com/questions/41496/… ) | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 20:57 | comment | added | kazhvan | I think it is clear . However I have tried to clarify it more . perhaps my example is somewhat confusing. assume that you are the member of a hidden group or party. For example , in Iran ,left-wing parties. when one of your members become known to people ,especially police ,you can be sure to assign a work to him or here anymore. he or she is not necessarily a person with bad fame . perhaps he is even for them a hero . | |
| Aug 7, 2017 at 20:50 | comment | added | Tom22 | Perhaps you mean something in your last sentence more like : We can't ~rely~ on him. He is like a cow with white forehead and may be ~deposed~. * substituting *rely for trust, and deposed for arrested. | |

| Aug 7, 2017 at 20:45 | comment | added | Tom22 | I am confused now after re-reading (or was it an edit) ... while I can understand your first paragraphs about someone standing out but "incomplete" your last sentence about them being untrustworthy and liable to be arrested seems to take it to "notorious" or "ill-famed" levels which you said it did not mean. I agree with @EdwinAshworth that they seem contradictory. | |

| Aug 7, 2017 at 18:54 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | What is the 'negative meaning' (you probably mean 'negative connotation') you mention? I can't see how 'being well known, with negative connotations' can't mean 'notorious'. | |
