Italian term
una mossa negativa
"Sono espressioni che il Signore Gesù formulò per mettere in guardia gli ascoltatori da molti tranelli, ma anche per illuminarli nel saper leggere le situazioni non a partire da un giudizio sommario o da una valutazione immediata e pertanto superficiale, ma per cogliere la dimensione positiva di un risultato che, apparentemente, potrebbe sembrare frutto di una mossa negativa."
I have "that might seem to be the result of a bad move".
Anything else?
Thanks,
Peter

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
wrong/bad/negative action
You may think and search for additional and more proper synonyms for bad/wrong, but "action" in this context is definitely a nicer and more appropriate term than the vernacular "move".
Discussion
Is this things like sitting in the lowliest position at the table?
