Potreste aiutarmi a capire questo: "... si era giurato che sarebbe entrato in un ambulatorio solo a zampe in avanti.
É dal romanzo "Come Dio comanda" di Ammaniti.

| | over his own dead body | Erklärung:
abbiamo un detto in inglese secondo il quale qualcuno sarà in grado di fare qualcosa solo previo la tua morte ("over my dead body!"). il mio suggerimento per la traduzione dell'espressione non è fedelissimo all'originale, ma a) dice una cosa che si direbbe in inglese a b) mantiene l'ironnia della frase data.

english language joke which also plays on the death motif:
"it's a good job your father isn't alive, cos if he knew what you were up to it would kill him". |

| paws foremost
Erklärung:
o 'paws-first'... This actually means "dead" and is mostly used with 'feet', not 'paws' but I think the author's idea about paws should be preserved

| once he'd popped his clogs / after biting the dust / going belly up
Erklärung:
"popping one's clogs" recalls the image of feet...
to go "belly up" evokes the image of dead fish floating in water, though it is commonly used when talking about businesses going bust. Still, you might want to use it to give your sentence a similar flavour to the original.
