"De toute façon, je n'en pouvais plus de ce boulot."

Translation: In any case, I couldn't take this job anymore.

Geoff_Campbell, I agree with your answer. The slight alternative, "In any case, I couldn't stand that job anymore" is accepted.

[djamescha]

Duo's English translation is ambiguous and could mean that I wanted to take (accept) this job but could no longer do so.

[geoff8407]

'couldn't take anymore of this job' rejected. Why?

[b_adger]

"couldn't take any more of this job' should be ok.

[Crotchet]

But it wasn't!

[Poef9]

To a non-native speaker's ear, the English sounds odd.

[Geoff_Campbell]

As a native English speaker, it sounds OK to me. We'd use, "couldn't take..anymore" or " couldn't stand ...anymore" or ".. could no longer stand...". All of these should work.

Where does the word "take" come from in the french ?

[TimmyKilminster]

The English version is idiomatic, unfortunately, and as usual causes confusion.

"I couldn't endure ...", "I couldn't cope with ...", "I couldn't stand ..." are equivalents.

[-BigWayne19-]

-------- english idiom = "supporter " = to endure

"I could no longer stand this job" should be accepted. The sloppy Americanisation of "couldn't take this job" could be interpreted as "couldn't accept the offered position". Pendantic, maybe, but true!

[JimCassels]

"In any case, I could no longer put up with this job" not accepted

[V3WW9ody]

"In any case, I was not able to take any more of this job." was not accepted. It seems fine to me and to have the same meaning as the French.
