II.in view of PREP (considering)

with [Brit wɪð, Am wɪð, wɪθ] PREP If you have any doubts about how to translate a phrase or expression beginning with with (with a vengeance, with all my heart, with luck, with my blessing etc.) you should consult the appropriate noun entry (vengeance, heart, luck, blessing etc.).
with is often used after verbs in English (dispense with, part with, get on with etc.). For translations, consult the appropriate verb entry (dispense, part, get etc.).
This dictionary contains usage notes on such topics as the human body and illnesses, aches and pains which use the preposition with. For the index to these notes .
For further uses of with, see the entry below.

1. with (in descriptions):

See also get, wrong, what, vengeance, trouble, part, matter, luck, heart, dispense, blessing

I.get <pres part getting, prét got, pp got, gotten Am> [ɡet] VB trans This much-used verb has no multi-purpose equivalent in French and therefore is very often translated by choosing a synonym: to get lunch = to prepare lunch = préparer le déjeuner.
get is used in many idiomatic expressions (to get something off one's chest etc.) and translations will be found in the appropriate entry (chest etc.). This is also true of offensive comments (get stuffed etc.) where the appropriate entry would be stuff.
Remember that when get is used to express the idea that a job is done not by you but by somebody else (to get a room painted etc.) faire is used in French followed by an infinitive (faire repeindre une pièce etc.).
When get has the meaning of become and is followed by an adjective (to get rich/drunk etc.) devenir is sometimes useful but check the appropriate entry (rich, drunk etc.) as a single verb often suffices (s'enrichir, s'enivrer etc.).
For examples and further uses of get see the entry below.
