Hello!
My name is Stephane, and I'm a french student in informatic in Paris. I
have some english lessons of course and I have to do a project. But for it,
I must translate a text from an American magazine.
But, I haven't found some difficults words in dictionnaries. If you could
help me to translate or help me to undersand them, I'll be very glad.
Here are these words:

- flamed out / right out :
"Our goal was not to oversaturate, not for her to be a star who flamed
out", says agent Leigh Steinberg, with whom Strug signed right out of
Atlanta.

- boxing out :
The network decided to keep Olympic boxing out of prime time, even before
the US team's uninspired Atlanta showing.

- seven-figure :
He got a seven-figure bonus to turn pro and made his debut on HBO.


Thanks very much for your help!!
