English term or phrase: she's got that edge
"There was just a little extra spark there, a little raw something that made her extremely appealing. She’s beautiful but she’s also got that edge."
Que veut dire "raw" et "she's got that edge"? Je pense que c'est synonyme...
On parle d'une actrice.

neutral  C. Tougas: D'accord pour "quelque chose d'animal", mais pas pour la traduction suggérée de "edge". La trad suggérée me donne l'impression que ce edge est quelque chose de positif, mais je ne crois pa sque c'est le cas

un peu brut/elle avait du chien


Explanation:
