You tired you poor
Message de elise01 posté le 15-02-2010 à 09:56:14 (S | E | F)

Bonjour, pourriez-vous svp m'aider dans la correction du résumé de ce texte sur une aristocrate française qui rejoint Ellis Island au début du siècle.

Brigitte is Beatrice’s sister and Charles is Brigitte’s brother-in-law. With Alfonse, they’re(Brigitte & Alfonse) both French immigrants. Brigitte belongs to French aristocracy. She took the boat in Le Havre to go to America. Brigitte was the last hope of her family because her sister, Beatrice, had to help her family in America. She had to find a wealthy American and marry him but she was married to a simply hideous man, Charles Blackburn, and she was already pregnant with him. The family was officially ruined. Now Brigitte must go to the USA and do like her sister.
Brigitte’s behaviour is haughty face to face("face to face" > vis à vis ?) other passengers. For her, it’s unacceptable to travel in third class, and she must be allowed to enter the United States easily, have a medical examination and simply cross Ellis Island. Brigitte thinks she had rights such as private cabin, cocktails and dinner at the Captain’s table. She thinks she’s privileged and, for her, she is not like everybody, she’s unrepeatable and thinks she can't live with ordinary people like farmers. In that way, we can say she's snooty.
Official (l’officier de Ellis Island qui autorise ou non à entrer sur le territoire américain) doesn’t understand her name, he calls her Mademoiselle Dumapoozi. With him, Brigitte wants to have an argument (avec lui, Brigitte se dispute d’abord mais, en réfléchissant, elle réalise… ) first but, after thinking, she realized that it was better to stay calm because she isn’t as exceptional as she thought. Finally, Official calls her Bridget Dumapoozi and that makes her smile and laugh.

Merci, Elise

Bonjour,

Pourquoi passez-vous trois fois du présent au passé, il vaudrait mieux tout mettre au passé, à moins de détacher en introduction les trois premières phrases.

Brigitte is Beatrice’s sister and Charles is Brigitte’s brother-in-law. With Alfonse, they’re(Brigitte & Alfonse) both French immigrants. Brigitte belongs to the French aristocracy.

She took the boat in Le Havre to go to America. Brigitte was the last hope of her family because her sister, Beatrice, had to help her family in America. She had to find a wealthy American and marry him but she was married to a simply(really) hideous man, Charles Blackburn, and she was already pregnant with him. The family was officially ruined. Now Brigitte must(prétérit) go to the USA and do like her sister.

Brigitte’s behaviour is haughty with the other passengers. For her, it’s unacceptable to travel in third class, and she must be allowed to enter the United States easily, have a medical examination and simply cross Ellis Island. Brigitte thinks she had rights such as a private cabin, cocktails and dinner at the Captain’s table. She thinks she’s privileged and, for her, she is not like everybody, she’s unrepeatable?? unique and thinks she can't live with ordinary people like farmers. In that way, we can say she's snooty.
The immigration officer doesn’t understand her name, he calls her Mademoiselle Dumapoozi. With him, Brigitte wants to have an argument (avec lui, Brigitte se dispute d’abord mais, en réfléchissant, elle réalise… ) first but, after thinking (on second thoughts), she realized (rupture de temps après les présents) that it was better to stay calm because she isn’t(idem) as exceptional as she thought. Finally, Official calls her Bridget Dumapoozi and that makes her smile and laugh.

Encore une fois, je passerais tout au prétérit, le paragraphe central sur le côté hautain de Brigitte ne se conçoit au présent que si ce sont les explications du narrateur,que je verrais alors entre parenthèses.D'ailleurs, que vient faire dans la narration: we can say she is snooty ?

je supprimerais behaviour: Brigitte is haughty with the other passengers, ou bien, Brigitte behaves haughtily with the other passengers.

Pourquoi mettre with him en tête de phrase, B wants to have an argument with him serait tout aussi bien.

The Official(the immigration officer) didn’t understand her name, he called her Mademoiselle Dumapoozi. At first, Brigitte wanted to have an argument with him but, on second thoughts, she realized that it was better to stay calm because she wasn’t as exceptional as she thought. Finally, (the immigration officer)official called her Bridget Dumapoozi and that made her smile and laugh.

il resterait quelques points comme "to cross " Ellis Island mais dans l'ensemble, cela devrait passer.
