Conges terminology question

Barbara R Cochran (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair: |
French > English |

Subject: |
General |
|
Level of diffculty: |
Easy / medium |
|
Word or term in question: |
en sursis de quelque danger |
|
Context: |
La liaison fonctionna toujours parfaitement, il n’y eut jamais de fausse manœuvre. Si je m’étais laissé deviner, nul doute pourtant que mes chefs et amis, MM. Jaujard, Billiet et Mme Saupique, n’en aient ressenti le contrecoup. Les uns et les autres en étions conscients, sans nous le dire ; mais en temps de guerre n’est-on pas toujours en sursis de quelque danger ? |

But in time of war, danger (of any kind) is always hanging over, isn't it?
My comment:
Je pensais à l'épée de Damocles, d'où "hang over".

Or again, to be closer to the original text: Danger is always looming like a suspended sentence, isn't it?
