"C'est la paille et la poutre."  Litterally, "It's the speck and the beam."  It comes from Jesus' saying that before taking the speck out of your own eye, you should take the beam out of your own.

The only one that I know is "ZUT!" - which means darn...so, yeah.\nAnd I don't know what you mean by saying: elegant french swearing words or swearing in a unharmful way. That's kind of contradictive. Besides, I don't think that your teacher would appreciate you swearing in his/her class, since it IS still school.\nDon't kill the french language (people have already demeaned it enough...)

If you'll report it in writing you'd say: Je voudrais signaler que mon telephone ne fonctionne pas.\n\nIf you're reporting verbally, this would do: Mon appareil est en panne.

In all modesty, I believe a better translation would be: \nLet evil have its own way, and you will remain in darkness forever. Be free!\n\nFOLLOW-UP\nOK, leaving all modesty aside, and in the interest of providing Uncle Chris with an accurate answer... It's not enough to have 'some' knowledge of the SOURCE language, so that you get the gist of the writing; you need to understand the subtleties as well, otherwise you risk falling completely off the mark. Second, you have to be truly fluent in the TARGET language, so that your version looks and sounds as though it had been written in English by an English speaker. \n\nIf you break down the original sentence, you can tell that it was translated word for word by someone with a very limited knowledge of French (I doubt that a machine or online translator could have done even this well):\nlaissez = let\nle mauvais = the bad => evil (the article is omitted because 'evil' is an uncountable noun)\navoir = have\nsa propre manière = its own way\net dans l'obscurité = and in darkness (again, uncountable noun -> no article)\nvous resterez = you will stay\npour toujours = forever\n\nThe translation I propose is the only one so far that is true to the intention of the original and that sounds at all like idiomatic English.
