Message de taconnet posté le 04-04-2010 à 20:36:44 (S | E | F)
Bonjour.
Comment traduire "ON" ?
Voici quelques directives.
1- ONE, dans les formules toutes faites et les généralisations.
One never knows
2- WE , YOU , THEY selon le sens.
In France we drink wine, but in England they drink a lot of tea.
3- PEOPLE si "on" représente un pluriel.
People were very fond of him.
4- SOMEONE si "on" représente un singulier.
Listen,someone's knocking at the door.
Mais on utilise le plus souvent la voix passive.
She was awarded a scholarship.
Remarque :
Le pronom personnel sujet YOU est de plus en plus utilisé à la place de ONE.
Niveau :
Correction : Lundi 12 avril 2010
Traduire les phrases suivantes :
1- Quand on a chaud et soif, rien ne vaut un grand verre d'eau fraîche.
2- On ne m'avait pas dit qu'un ami des Wilson leur avait démoli la voiture.
3- On ne peut pas savoir comment elle réagira quand on lui dira que dans le pays où elle va rejoindre son mari les femmes ne peuvent pas conduire.
4- Écoute! On marche dans le jardin. N'ouvre pas, on ne sait jamais qui ça peut être.
5- On lui avait volé un tableau de Picasso, mais c'était celui qu'elle aimait le moins.
6- On ne peut pas dire qu'il ait inventé la poudre*, mais c'est un chic type quand même.
7- Encore un barrage de police! On n'arrivera jamais à temps à l'aéroport.
8- On dit que les Écossais sont avares, mais on peut penser que ce n'est que de la calomnie.
9- On prétend que les votes par procuration sont un moyen d'encourager la fraude.
10- Quand nous sommes allés les voir à la mi-août il y avait beaucoup de vent et il faisait si froid qu'on se serait cru en octobre.
* à traduire par un "idiom"
« Ne pas avoir inventé la poudre.» : être peu intelligent.
Le thème de la non-invention, qualifiant la bêtise , est fréquemment exploité.
« Il n'a pas inventé le fil à couper le beurre.»

5) She had been robbed of a Picasso / A Picasso had been robbed from her, but it was the one she liked (the) least.
6) We can't say he'll ever set the Thames on fire / he's a bright spark, but he's yet a good guy.
7) Once again a police cordon ! We'll never arrive in time at the airport.
8) The Scots are said to be mean, but it may be only but slanderous / but one can think it's only but slanderous.
9) It's said that voting by proxy could incite to electoral fraud.

Bonsoir Taconnet,
Let me try,
1- when we're hot and thirsty, there's nothing better than a full glass of cold water.
2- Nobody told me that one of the Wilsons' friend had ruined the vehicle.
3- We're unable to guess how her reaction will be, when she's told the women in the country where she is going to be reunited with her husband cannot drive.
4- Listen, someone walks in the garden. Don't open, We probably never know who he is.
5- Somebody had stolen her Picasso, however that was the one she liked the least.
6-
7- Again, another check-point, we will never be able to reach the airport in time.
8- It was told the Scots are stingy, but it seems to be just a slander(false statement).
9- The proxy votes are considered as a method to encourage the fraud.
10-When we went to visit them in the mid-august, It was very windy and so cold as it's in the month of October.
Thank you,

Bonjour,
I did not look at anyone else's work! I wasn't sure of "inventer la poudre" so I had to look that one up.
1- When you're hot and thirsty, nothing's better than a tall glass of cold water.
2- No one had told me that a friend of the Wilson's totaled their car.
3- You don't know how she's going to react when they tell her that women are not allowed to drive in the country where she's visiting her husband.
4- Listen! Someone's walking in the yard. Don't open the gate. You never know who it might be.
5- Someone had stolen one of her Picasso paintings, but it was her least favorite.
6- He may be as dumb as a box of rocks, but he's still a cool guy.
7- Yet another police roadblock! We'll never get to the airport on time.
8- They say that Scottish people are cheap, but you can say that is just a generalization.
9- They're claiming that proxy votes are a way to encourage fraud.
10- When we went to see them in mid August it was very windy and so cold that you thought it was October.
How'd I do?
