Como dizer "já vai tarde" em inglês

[AllanShk]

Olá, pessoal!
Já venho acompanhando o EE há um tempo, mas só agora acabei me registrando, assim, aproveito pra sanar uma dúvida.

Gostaria de saber uma expressão equivalente em inglês ao termo "vai tarde" ou "já vai tarde", insinuando que a presença da pessoa era indesejada.

Abraços

AllanShk,

De uma forma geral, podemos dizer: (And) about time too!

She said she's leaving tomorrow. About time too!

Esta expressão é usada quando se quer dizer que algo já deveria ter acontecido há muito tempo, antes do que aconteceu.

Bons estudos!

[Breckenfeld]

My suggestion :

Good riddance.

- GWB will leave office in January.
- Good riddance.


Bye!

[AllanShk]

Valeu pela dica, Donay!

breckenfeld, it was the Google Translator's suggestion, but it seemed kinda weird to me, could you explain more about this expression "Good riddance"?

thanks =]

[Breckenfeld]

It was not the google's suggestion.


It's often used in the phrase good riddance especially to express relief that someone or something has gone.
Merriam-Webster.


Bye!

@Daniel

Really, I am just giving a deep explanation about that idiom

[Thomas]

It's common to hear it said this way: "Good riddance to bad rubbish!"

[Celso Pelegrini]

''So long'' é EM MINHA EXPERIÊNCIA pessoal, a forma mais usada que já vi até hoje. Então recomendaria ela, pois é curta, rápida e de fácil entendimento.


See ya around!

Good bye Mr./Mrs. so and so, nobody is going to miss you/him/her.


"He was a nosey neighbour, nobody is missing him (much)."

Phil Collins: I quit music but no one will miss me - Telegraph
www.telegraph.co.uk › Culture › Music › Music news - Traduzir esta página
04/03/2011 – Singer and former Genesis drummer admits he was the most hated man in rock.

....
Asked when he became 'the pop star that nobody likes', Phil replied: "Around the time that the music was being played so incessantly people wanted to strangle me. It's hardly surprising that people grew to hate me. I'm sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn't mean it to happen like that!"



Wow! I didn´t know Phil was so hated a man, ha ha! Let alone hated and succesful at the same time!
I knew he was just succesful, or at least a hit until late ´90s, I think.

Expressing relief at being rid of something/somebody.
