I opened up a text msg. (in french) on my celly a few minutes ago, and Babelfish is giving me nonsense. Maybe there's a typo in the text msg? Anyways it reads-

"Aux dessous les pauves, le plage."

What does it mean?

"Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to talk French."
