Bonjour.
Je reprends ici la suite du dialogue commencé dans le sujet précédent.
Correction : jeudi 01 - 03 - 2007.
Traduisez en utilisant un auxiliaire modal le plus souvent possible.
- En effet, mais vous ne pouvez pas vous imaginer à quel point je suis heureux de la revoir. Je n'habite pas ici et je suis parti de bonne heure afin d'être ici à l'heure. Après quinze ans, vous vous rendez compte ?
- Vous deviez être très jeune et elle doit avoir beaucoup changé !
- Non, c'est impossible ! Elle a plus de soixante ans et elle a toujours été jeune. Je ne peux pas croire qu'elle ait changé.
- Cela se pourrait, pourtant. Moi, j'ai une amie, comme ça. Elle refuse de vous dire son âge. Elle doit avoir à peu près le même âge. Je pense qu'elle doit avoir peur de vieillir.
- Vous n'auriez pas peur, vous, à son âge ? En tout cas, ce dont vous n'avez pas peur, c'est d'être en retard ! Vous devriez vous presser un peu , non ?

Hello marie11,
-Indeed, but you can't imagine how much happy I am to see her again. I am not living here and I left early in order to be on time. Fifteen years after, can you realize?
- You might be very young and she must look different--or she must have aged a lot !
- No, it's impossible! She is over sixty but she has always been young. I can't believe she changed.
Nevertheless, it might be. A friend of mine is like that. She refuses to tell her age. She might be about the same age. I imagine she is afraid of growing old.
- Wouldn't you be afraid yourself ? In any case, what you don't fear for is being late. You should hurry up a bit, shouldn't you ?
Thank you very much ,

Hello dear Marie !
- Definitely, but you can't imagine how happy I'm to see her again. I don't live here and I left early in order to be on time. Fifteen years later, can you realize ?
- You must have been very young and she must have changed a lot / she must look quite older !
- No, she mustn't ! She's more than sixty and has always looked young. I can't believe she could have changed.
- And yet, she could. As far as I'm concerned, I've got a girlfriend like her. She won't tell you how old she is. She must be about the same age. I think she can/could/may/might/must* be afraid of getting old / that she could get old.
- Wouldn't you be afraid, you, at her age / in her position ? Anyway, what you aren't afraid of, is that you might be late ! You should hurry up a little, shouldn't you ?
* Question subsidiaire : pour la belle brochette de la phrase 4, que gagne-t-on ?
Thanks a lot, Marie11.

Hello Marie!
- Indeed but you can't imagine how happy I am to see her again. I don't live here and I've gone early in order to be here on time. Fifteen years later, would you believe it?
- You might be very young and she must have changed a lot!
- No, it's impossible. She's more than 60 and she's been always young. I can't believe she's changed.
- It might be, nevertheless. I have a friend like that. She refuses to tell you her age. She might be about the same age. I think she's afraid of aging.
- Wouldn't you be afraid at her age, would you? Anyway, which you aren't frightened of is to be late! You should hurry up a little, shouldn't you?

Hello
Indeed, but you can't even imagine how pumped I am to see her again.
I don't live here so I left early to get here on time. Fifteen years afterwards, can you realize?
You might be very young and she must have changed a lot!
No, that's impossible! She's more than sixty and has always been young. I can't believe she's changed.
It could be though! I've got a friend like that. She must be roughly the same age. I think she must be afraid of getting old.
Wouldn't you be afraid at her age? In any case, you aren't afraid to be late!
You should get a move on, shouldn't you?
Thanks

Indeed, you can’t even imagine how much happy I am to see her again.
I don’t live here and I left early in order to be here in time.
Fifteen years afterwards, can you realize?
You might be very young and she must have changed a lot!
No, that’s impossible! She is on her sixty and has always been young.
I can’t believe she has changed.
It could be so! I‘ve got a friend like that. She is always refusing to tell how old she is. She must be the same age as she is.
I think she is afraid of getting old.
Wouldn’t you be afraid at her age?
Anyway, what you don’t be afraid of is to be late!
You‘d better hurry a little, hadn’t you?

Bonjour Marie11,
- Indeed, but you can’t imagine to what extent I am happy to see again her. I am don’t living here and I am left soon in order should be here on time. After fifteen years, you realise ?
- You were to be very young and she is to have changed a lot !
- No, it is impossible ! She is upwards of sixty years and she has been always young . I can’t bebieve that she changed.
- That might, yet. I have a girlfriend like that. She refuses to tell you her age. She is to have pretty much the same age. I think she is afraid to growing old.
- You shouldn’t have fear, you, at her age ? In any case, which you don’t have
cowardliness, it is to late ! You should hurry up little, no?
Et Merci.

- Yes indeed, but you can't imagine how glad I am to meet her again. I don't live in here and I left early to be on time. Fifteen years later ! Can you realize ?
- You must have been very young and she may have changed a lot.
- No, that's impossible ! She's over 60 and has always looked young. I can't believe she's changed.
- It might be however. A friend of mine's like that. She refuses to tell you her age. She may about the same age. I suppose she must be afraid of getting old
- You would be afraid at her age, wouldn't you ? Anyway what you are not afraid of is to be late ! You should hurry a little, shouldn't you ?

Hello, Marie
- Indeed, but you can't imagine how happy I am to see her again. I don't live here and I have left early in order to get here on time. Fifteen years after, can you believe it!
- You must have been very young mustn't you ? She has probably changed a lot!
-No, she can't, it's impossible, she is over sixty now and she has always been young, she couldn't change, I can't believe it!
-And yet she could. I've got a friend like that. She doesn't want to tell you how old she is. She must be just about the same age. I, think she is afraid of getting old.
-If you were her, wouldn't you be afraid of the old age too?Anyway, what you are not afraid of, it's to be late! You had better hurry up a little hadn't you?
thanks a lot

Bonjour.
Voici la correction.
- Yes, you're right, but you can't imagine how happy I am to see her again. I don't live here and I left early this morning so that I could be here on time. After fifteen years, can you imagine ?
- You must have been very young and she must have changed a lot !*
- No, she can't have !** She is over sixty and she has always been young. I can't believe that she has changed.
- She might (have) though ***. I have a friend like that. She won't tell you her age****. she must be approximately the same age. I believe she must be afraid of getting old.
- Wouldn't you at her age ? Anyway, you're not afraid of being late, are you ?
You should hurry up, shouldn't you ?
* Vous évoquez une impression sur un état dans le passé, vous devez employer un auxiliaire de modalité suivi d'un infinitif passé.
** On reprend l'infinitif passé(tronqué) précédé de "can't" qui marque une impossibilité. No, she can't have (changed).──> Non, il est impossible qu'elle ait changé ou plus simplement, Non, c'est impossible.
*** might, exprime ici un éventualité. On peut aussi faire suivre ce modal d'un infinitif passé puisque l'on évoque le passé.
She might have changed ──> Il se pourrait qu'elle ait changé.
**** She won't tell ──> won't exprime un refus.
Je vous remercie de votre participation.
Je répondrai volontiers à toute question concernant ce sujet.
