Bonjour all friends..me voici revenue à vous pour nos petits ou grands rendez-vous "littéraires" toujours fort plaisants.Je vous espère tous en bonne forme et prêts aujourd'hui à goûter une nouvelle tranche de cake.euh..d'humour british, bien sûr. aux curieux qui viendraient à découvrir le goût de violet!..:

Correction prévue autour du samedi 4 Octobre.

----------------------- " Ma première rentrée ". Thème I ou ---------------------------------

[ Ce petit aristrocrate de fine lignée passa la majeure partie de ses premières années dans le giron de sa nourrice câline ou à exceller déjà dans les activités de plein air. Père quasiment mutique à son égard, mère distraite et excentrique, peu disponible pour lui : il lui fallut s'armer par la suite. Apparemment guère enclin à la concentration intellectuelle,il n'aimait ni les consignes ni qu'on lui raconte des histoires !.. A sept ans, il fut arraché à "son petit paradis" pour un internat très privé et d'élite ...La séparation fut des plus cruelles, du moins pour lui . ....]

------" On me conduisit à une salle de classe où l'on m'ordonna de m'asseoir à un pupitre. Tous les autres garçons devaient s'ébrouer à l'extérieur quand, moi, je me retrouvai seul face au Maître. Il exhiba un livre peu épais dont la couverture tendait vers un gris- marron. Y figuraient des mots en différents caractères d'imprimerie.

- " Vous n'avez jamais fait de Latin avant,sauf erreur? " dit l'homme au regard sévère.
- " Non, monsieur."

- " Ceci est une grammaire latine." Il l'ouvrit sans peine à une page bien écornée.
- "A vous d'apprendre tout cela !" poursuivit-il ,le doigt pointé sur un certain nombre de mots alignés dans un encadré.
-" Je serai de retour dans une demi-heure pour voir ce que vous en aurez retenu".

Maintenant..sachez que tout est à traduire (bonjour dear ariane!)..Quand on a une passion, tout ce qui la concerne est plaisir, pas vrai?
Enjoy yourselves ..le déplacement en vaut la peine!.See you,quick! Your violet.

Hello Violet !
Je ne suis pas sûre de bien comprendre ta recommandation, et te vois un tantinet rigide à ton retour de vacances !Comme je crois y déceler le ton de la plaisanterie, te dirai simplement qu'être strictement fidèle au texte, c'est quelquefois difficile ou ça m'ennuie un peu !!! ---

Hello, dear violet

Thanks a lot for this new French/English translation.
this one isn't the easier of those sweet brainwaves you devise for us....
Nevertheless, I jump into the water, bravely....

My first day at school,
This young aristocrat of noble descent spent most of his early years in his affectionate nurse's lap, or already excelling at outdoor activities.A father who was practically silent towards him, an absent-minded and eccentric mother who wasn't avalaible for him : he had to harden himself, later on.Apparently, not really disposed to mental concentration,he liked neither instructions, nor being told fibs.!
When he was seven years old, he was uprooted from his "little heaven" to go to a public boarding school...The parting was one of the most painful, at least as far as he was concerned.....
-"I was led to a class-room where I was ordered to sit down at a desk. All the others boys had to shake themselves while I found myself alone, in front of the teacher.He flaunted a not very thick book , the cover of which approached to a grey-brown color, on which different block capital words appeared.
-"You have never studied Latin before, if I'm not mistaken ? " the hard-looked man said.
-"No sir"
-"This is a Latin grammar". he opened it to a highly dog-eared page,easily.
-"You will have to learn all that", he pursued, his finger pointed to some words which were lined in a box.
-"I'll be back in half an hour to see what you have remembered.".

Hello violet !

Going to school for the first time/ Start of my first school year.

[ This young aristocrat of noble lineage spent most of his early childhood sitting on his affectionate nanny's lap or already excelling in outdoor activities. With a father pretty mute toward him, an absent-minded and eccentric mother seldom available to him, he would have to arm himself afterwards. Apparently not intellectually inclined, he liked neither being given orders nor being deceived ! He was seven when he was dragged away from his "little paradise" to an elite public boarding school... It was a cruellest parting, at least for him...]

---" I was taken to a classroom where I was ordered to sit down at a desk. All the other boys must have been frolicking around outside, whereas, as far as I was concerned, I found myself alone facing the master. He confidently exhibited a not very thick book whose cover verged on grey-brown and where I couls see some words written in various block capitals."

---" You have not studied Latin before, if I am not mistaken ?" the hard-looking man said.

---" I haven't, Sir."

---" This is a Latin grammar book." He easily opened it out at a dog-eared page.

---" It is now up to you to learn all this !" he went on, pointing at some words lined up in a box. " I am going to be back in half an hour in order to check what you will have remembered".

I have found this exercise so exhausting, violet, that I really don't know whether I feel like thanking you !!! In my opinion, it deserves at least !!!!

Dear Violet,

Be lenient.

My first start school year.

This young aristocrat, born of a fine stock, spent the greatest part of his early years in the bosom of his loving nanny, or, even at that time, to excel at outdoors activities. A father, nearly silent towards him, a mother inattentive and eccentric, not very free for him : he had to arm himself afterwards. Apparently, not really prone to mental concentration, he could bear neither having to obey orders nor be told nonsense. When he was seven years old, he was torn from his "little paradise" to go to a very private and select boarding school. The separation was very harsh, at least for him.

...."I was taken in a class room where I was ordered to sit down at a desk. All the other boys were shaking themselfs outdoors while, I was left with no one, in front of the teacher.He showed a not very thick book whose the cover was of a grey-brown colour. There were on it lined words written in different block capitals.

- "You have never studied Latin before, if I have not mistaken?" the stern- looked man said.
- "no sir"

- "This is a Latin grammar" He opened it to a turned down the corner page
- " You have to learn all that!" continued the man his finger pointed at some words lined up in a boxed piece text
- "I will be back in half an hour to check what you will have remembered"

Many thanks Violet

Hello Violet,

My first day at school

This young aristocrat from a good lineage spent most of his early age on the knees of his loving nanny or excelling in open air activities. His father was almost mute towards him, his mother an absent-minded crank was never receptive to him : he had to harden himself subsequently. Apparently not very prone to intellectual concentration, he did not like to be given orders or being told any fibs ! When he was seven years old he was dragged away from his ‘little paradise’ and sent to a first-rate public boarding-school.. The separation was very cruel, for him at least.
« I was driven in a class-room where I had to sit down at a desk. All the other boys were sent to fidget outside and I was left alone in front of the Master. He produced a thin book which cover was a kind of grey- brown and in which words appeared in different printing
‘You have never studied Latin before, unless I’m mistaken ?’ the stern- looking man said
‘No, Sir’
‘This is a Latin grammar’ He opened it easily at a dog-eared page
‘You must learn all this !..he went on, his finger pointed at some words framed into a box. ‘I’ll be back in half-an-hour to see what you have learnt’

Bonjour.

My first day at school

This young aristocrat of noble lineage spent the most part of his youth in the bosom of his affectionate nanny, and he was particularly good at games. His father was not very talkative and he seldom,if ever,spoke to him, and his excentric and absent-minded mother was not very willing to listen to him : therefore, he had to manage by himself.
Apparently, he was reluctant to mental concentration. He couldn't bear orders, and he did not like being told stories either. When he was seven, he was torn from the bosom of his "little paradise" and sent to boarding school. It was a most painful parting,at least for him.

I was taken to a class-room where I was ordered to sit down at a desk. All the other boys were playing outside while I was on my own in front of the master. He presented a thin book with a grey verging on brown cover, on which some words were written in different block capitals.

─ Unless I am mistaken, I suppose that you have never learnt Latin.
─ Never Sir.
─ "This is a Latin grammar", and he opened it at a dog-heared page very easily.
─ "You have to learn all that", he continued, his finger pointed at a row of words in a box.
─ " I'll be back within a half hour to see what you'll have recalled "

Il m'a fallu plusieurs heures de travail pour en arriver là .
Je pense que je n'ai pas fait trop d'erreurs.

J'avais oublié de traduire le titre.

Hello Violet,

MY FIRST START AT SCHOOL

That young aristocrat from a fine line spent most of the part of his first years in his cuddy nurse's bosom or already excelled in outdoor activities. Father almost silent with him, excentric and absent-minded mother, not very much available for him : he had to arm himself afterwards. He did not seem willing to the intellectual concentration, he did not like neither instructions, nor someone told him lies ! At seven, he was pulled out from "his little paradise" for a very private and elited boarding school. The sharing was very crual, at least for him.

I was taken to a classroom where you ordered me to sit at a desk. All other boys would play outside while, me, I was alone face to the teacher. He showed a few thick book with a grey-brown color. There were some words in different caracters of printing.

- "You have never practiced latin language before, unless I am mistaken" the man with a severe look said.
- "No, I have not, mister".
- "This is a latin grammar". He easily opened it at a dog-eared page.
- "You have to learn all of these", he followed, the finger pointed on a certain amount of worlds which were aligned in a sidebar. "I will be back in half an hour to see what you will remember".

At the age of seven, he was dragged from "his little heaven" for a very private and select boarding school... The separation was most cruel, at least for him...
"I was taken to a classroom where I was ordered to sit down at a desk. All the other boys had to stretch themselves outside while me, I was alone facing the Master. He showed a hardly thick book which the cover was almost grey-brown. It contained some words with different block letters.

Hello Violet!
Hello à tous ceux qui ont préparé avant moi !

My first day at school

This bright-lined little aristocrat spent almost all his first years either on his cuddling nurse’s lap or already excelling in outdoor activities . His father was almost silent towards him, his mother was absent-minded, eccentric, and not much ready to look after him, so he had to strengthen himself afterwards . As it appeared, he was hardly prone to intellectual attention, he didn’t like instructions or being told stories ! ... When he was seven years old, he was torn away from his “little paradise”
to an élite public boarding school... The parting was most cruel, at least for him .

“ I was taken to a classroom where I was ordered to sit down at a desk . All the other boys were playing outside except me : I was left alone, in front of the Master . He showed a thin book the cover of which was grey brownish . There, different words were written in block capitals . ”

“You have never learnt Latin before, unless I’m mistaken ?” the severe looking man said .
“ I haven’t, Sir .”

“This is a Latin grammar .” He easily opened it at a quite dog - eared page .

“It’s your turn to learn all that !” he went on, his finger pointing at some words, stringed in a frame .

“I’ll be back in half an hour in order to see what you will have remembered about it .”

Good morning Violet!

Once more to the brink, my friends....
First Day at a New School
This young well-bred aristocrat spent most of his early years either close to his beloved nurse or excelling at outdoor activities. With a practically silent father and an eccentric, often absent mother, he had to steel himself for the future. Apparently, he had no concentration span, didn't like being told what to do or lied to! When he was seven, he was dragged away from this Eden to a rather elite boarding school. The separation was a cruel one, at least it was for him.....

"I was taken to a classroom and told to sit at a desk. All the other boys had to go outside to play around and I found myself face to face with the teacher. He was holding out a rather thin looking book to me that had a greyish brown cover on which was written some rather strange words.

"You've obviously never done latin before, am I right?" he said sternly
"No, sir."
"This here is a latin grammar book." It fell open easily at a dog-eared page.
"Learn what's on this page!" he continued and he pointed to some aligned words in a grill.
"I'll be back in half-an-hour to see how much you will have remembered."

Not to sure about this Violet! Quite a "head-scratcher" - it took me a while, didn't it? Hope to see the correction soon.

Love...

- " No,sir".
- " This is a Latin grammar" . He opened it at a well-thumbed dog-eared page.

Violet, from lakata, but also from the little boy and his beloved nanny

And now..on s'en va-t' aller en correction comme "on s'en va-t'en guerre "..Pas la fleur au fusil..plutôt à reculons.

1) My first day at school . Le premier de tous. "Changement de condition". L'emphase me semble préférable.Celui-là va rester mémorable.

2) A little aristocrat : porte une marque d'affection et d'apitoiement sur ce petit garçon dont l'enfance a été difficile. Interne à sept ans..à "Saint George Preparatory School for Boys",puis Harrow, en plus. La vie comme à Eton, Repton..y était (est?) rude. On ne fabrique pas 19 Premiers Ministres comme cela !

3 ) An aristocrat of great ancestry : "of" car il est né noble (a member of)..un "pur-sang" du côté de son père où s'enchaînent les titres. Fine lineage .
"With a fine pedigree" :
Le mot "pedigree" est apparu dans la langue anglaise en 1410 sous les formes "pee de Grewe", "pedegrewe" ou "pedegrou", qui toutes sont empruntées au moyen français "pié de grue", voulant dire "pied de grue" (le U imprononçable en anglais se transformant en I ou OU). Cet emprunt vient de l'analogie visuelle entre la trace du pied de cet oiseau et les trois traits (Y renversé) utilisés dans les registres officiels anglais pour indiquer les ramifications d'un arbre généalogique.
..il est vrai que le "pedigree" fait actuellement référence au classement des animaux.
Ses (son) ancêtre(s) étant déjà de haut rang et ...bien connus.."of great ancestry" m'a paru adéquat.

4 ) Most part of his early years : j'avais envie d'écrire "early life"..mais c'est déjà pris!

5 ) The bosom[ 'bzm] :le "giron" de "chez giron"..l'espace contre, entre les seins et les genoux ..je visualise!..the "lap" (= on her knees)me paraît aussi tendre . Je ne connais pas assez bien "son" Elizabeth !..En tout cas, son "lap" et ses manières étaient fort "comforting"(réconfortantes,douces, consolatrices = a comforter : un "doudou")
- De même garder l'emphase sur le lieu (donc pas de génitif déterminatif) est préférable.Même si la personne est importante.c'est le lieu du câlin "cuddle" qui est un refuge.

6 ) His loving nanny (diminutif de nurse : celle-ci est devenue célèbre..)
"I set out for London to get a good specialist; and the two doctors consulted together upon the case, which was one of peritonitis. I had to return to Aldershot by the midnight train for a very early morning parade. As soon as it was over I returned to her bedside. She still knew me, but she gradually became unconscious. Death came very easily to her. She had lived such an innocent and loving life of service to others and held such a simple faith, that she had no fears at all, and did not seem to mind very much. She had been my dearest and most intimate friend during the whole of the twenty years I had lived."

7 ) Loving tender> cuddling ,cuddly . A cuddling person..est celle qui donne à la "cuddly" one .Nous n'avons ,hélas, pas l'équivalent français de "câlinable": a cuddly baby, child..a cuddly toy (soft toy,plush toy);
" Come and give me a cuddle!" [ 'kdl]: "Viens (donc)me faire un câlin!"
"Big hugs" (to hug : serrer fort par affection)= "gros bisous" from.. On ne termine pas une lettre (anglaise!) avec "big kisses"..

8) Excelling at : m'est venu d'un premier jet comme "good at, gifted at... Excelling in est bon aussi, mais (to me) met en opposition toutes les autres matières. Or, il est soit à la "nursery" ,soit dehors...et les parents n'ont fait sans doute que vaguement voir qu'il n'était pas très disposé à "apprendre". On l'envoie donc "en preparatory school for boys". Son bégaiement(stuttering) et son rapport difficile au langage ne devaient ,bien sûr, pas aider.
To excel at : exceller, se dépasser. To excel in : être le meilleur,faire des prouesses..

Visiblement..la technique "de comment tirer des images au bon moment" permet grâce à lakata (qui semble mieux la connaître que moi: la technique, pas la "nanny"!!)de mieux visualiser (le "garçon", sa "nanny chérie")!..(thank you, dear)

"I'll be back within half an hour" or more..! Thank you.

9 ) Outdoor activities inclut les "games"et le fait de s'activer en plein air : nature,observation des animaux, jardinage (j'en doute pour lui...)..

10 ) Etre mutique (travis): être muet (mute,silent..)= souffrir de mutisme ..ou observer un mutisme sélectif (le cas du père ,ici).
- to keep silent, mute toward him. Not to address him (v.transitif : ne même pas lui adresser la parole).

11 ) Distraite: la mère n'est pas "étourdie"(absent-minded),ou alors c'est par les hommes et les "affaires" !..Elle a autre chose à faire et l'époque,comme son milieu lui facilitent les choses.Elle fait "avancer "son mari,ce n'est déjà pas mal!..Elle sera une bonne alliée de son fils quand il sera adulte. Avant, elle ne se laisse pas "distraire" par lui ,ni par le frère cadet..Le petit garçon souffre donc d'une "unconcerned,indifferent, oblivious" mother.

12 ) La "belle Américaine" était eccentric . Très remarquée à l'époque. Elle disait avoir un serpent tatoué (à la mode en ce temps-là)autour du poignet(certains historiens se disputent là-dessus!). Elle est comptée dans les "scandalous women" de l'Histoire..: riche, très belle,très intelligente,spirituelle,impétueuse irrévérencieuse (and so on and so forth). Mère d'un "beau prématuré"(notre "garçon") (sept mois de grossesse)après un mariage "expédié".. Une autre partie du "pedigree" tout à fait intéressante et qui a laissé des traces..

13 ) She "could not care less.".or she hardly paid attention to her son.. Elle semblait s'en moquer comme de l'an 40...[(en l'An 40 AD,superstition autour du nombre 40..et 1840.. les gens crurent en une "apocalypse" (plus qu'une" mise à nu!" : la fin du monde)..rien ne se passa! Donc mieux valait et vaut s'en moquer )]."L'élevage"( terme de F.Dolto) des petits aristocrates,à l'époque, revenait de toute façon aux "nannies".
- Available convient à un fonctionnaire en "mutation" et dont le poste devient "vacant par exemple. Une disponibilité de service. Ou un lieu ,une chose..

14 ) to strenghten (strong:fort) , to harden,to steel(acier) himself : s'endurcir,s'armer contre la dureté de la vie.

15) Soit..soit ..Ni...ni... : Either ..or./.neither..nor..
He would like neither being given orders..nor being told stories. (on peut éluder le premier)

He did not or would not like being given orders nor being told stories.

16) He would not like : forme fréquentative(= used to + inf sans to) : c'était un indépendant rebelle..donc cela le "hérissait" à chaque fois!

17) Forme passive ou passivation : il avait horreur qu'on le transforme en "objet" d'obéissance (obedience['bdjns]: to obey ['b] someone : v.transitif)> Obey me !(speaking to a dog,mind you). Se refusait donc à toute...passivité.

18 ) Let me tell you a lovely fairy story ! Le "garçon" was not keen at all on being told stories..si on lui avait proposé de l'Histoire = History[Ooo]..cela eût pu être tout à fait différent...
- Being told fibs (< fable,affabuler) : qu'on lui racontât des sornettes, mensonges ,"bobards"(sorry).

19 ) To like = gérondif : généralité.
- I like travelling in an English speaking country. "C'est toujours la première fois!." : je suis partante n'importe quand.
- I like to travel abroad and to speak another language .(que l'Anglais..from time to time). Ponctualité. J'aime à..(pour changer). " Et pourquoi pas?"

20)) To be torn away,(dragged away from, pulled away from) > to tear,tore,torn (déchirer): être arraché (comme un arbre "uprooted")

21 ) A paradise ['prdS]: un petit ("sweet" permet d'éviter la répétition de "little")Pas l'Eden ou Heaven céleste. Un paradis sur terre ..

22 ) An élite = the best of..An elite public (= private:UK) school .(environ £ 20,000 pounds l'année sans compter les frais d'inscription,d'activités sportives..).

23 ) "The separation" nous est souvent mieux venu que "the parting". To part= se séparer,il est vrai. Nominalisation : la séparation ..et aussi celle des cheveux ,donc la raie ! Voilà pourquoi.."moi" je ne l'ai pas employé.Honestly speaking "parting" is good too..but not chosen by le "garçon".

24 ) Truely distressing = heartbreak = most (adv.)cruel : un crève-coeur,nous sommes d'accord.

Alinéa..."changement d'herbage.."..I must confess I am getting tired..will you please allow me to go to bed for a good night rest?
See you tomorrow. Have sweet dreams .Your violet

Hi! Sorry for the late but you know why...So this is my work:

My first term
This modest aristocrat of little descendants passed the greatest part of his first years on the bosom of his affectionate childminder or yet excelling in the outdoor activities. Father almost silent toward him, mother absent-minded and eccentric, not very ready for him: he needed to be strong enough for the future. Apparently indisposed to the focusing, he didn’t like neither order nor telling him fibs! When he was seventeen, he was extracted from “his little paradise” to a very private and elite boarding school...The separation was one of the crueler, at least for him...
I was conducted to a classroom where I was told to sit down on a desk. The rest of the boys might be shaking themselves outdoor when, me, I was on my own with the Teacher. He showed a book not very thick which cover tended toward grey-brown. In it there was word in various block prints.
-“You have never learned Latin before, have you?” said the men with a severe expression.
-“No, Sir”
- “This is a romance grammar” He opened it easily to a page well dog-eared.
-“It’s up to you to learn all of this!” he followed, the finger pointed to a certain number of lined words in a box.
-“I’ll be back in half-hour to see what you have retained from”.

Voilà..petite aud est arrivée..je peux continuer sereine!! Merci!

---Bonjour all friends.
.and have a nice day despite the rain!! " A perfect day" pour faire du Latin!..Lien Internet
. un bel Américain pour nous mettre en forme!..

25 ) To be taken into ,to be led (lead*)into : être mené (on foot, of course). Il est bien obligé de se "laisser" faire. Agent implicite(by somebody working for the school)

26 ) A Form Room : peut-être la salle où la classe des "sept ans" se réunit chaque matin avant "l'Assemblée."Lien Internet
. avec le Professeur Principal (appel, consignes de la journée..) . A "form" est la "1ère L 1" au lycée "round the corner", isn't it clarou11?

27 ) "Do what you are told": pas question de désobéir.

28 ) Boisterous boys : ils ne sont pas encore "full of hormones" as they are ,according to teacher Keating comme ceux de Lien Internet
(Poets'): mais ,on les espère insouciants et turbulents : full of life,lively ,fifdgety (agités,qui ne tiennent pas en place>,sometimes tough. Children, in any case!
- To shake oneself..comme un labrador s'ébroue après son plongeon dans le "marsh" et le "pond". Pronom réfléchi pluriel : Themselves,woops. Ils courent , sautent,crient,gambadent..donc "play" outside in the playground or on the "greens".
* Behave yourself : tiens -toi correctement.(behaviour: conduite)Behave yourselves : tenez-vous (tous) correctement. C(est le moment où l'on sait si le "you" est sg ou pl.
-DIY: chaîne de magasins de bricolage : "Do it yourself"..and yourselves, donc.

29 ) They must have been[' mst v 'bn] playing (probabilité >90% )= probably.
Besoin de "must"(ordre) un peu plus loin.

30 ) The Master (écrit le "garçon")produced a book : sortit,exhiba..(exhibited)

31) Thin (th-doux): mince ,peu épais.(petit aurait été ambigu,petit format?)

32 ) Greeny-brown; couleur un peu indéfinissable :vert-brun..(notre grammaire Cayrou était-elle bleu-marine?) Color est un américanisme...pas avec moi et surtout ce garçon!

33 ) Alone (one),all alone, by myself, on my own : physiquement seul face à ..

34 )To print (printed[ printd] : imprimer . Comme une empreinte : a footprint, a fingerprint..(an embossment!).# to mint (minted) : frapper la monnaie ( a "four pence" coin still used to be minted in the nineteenth century, for instance (and before!)Lien Internet

35 Le "tag" qui ne se traduit pas par "n'est-ce pas?" tombait à point pour "si je ne me trompe, bien sûr, c'est bien cela ..
Le maître doit déclarer "sûr de lui" (vu le "numéro" annoncé) d'un ton descendant et repartir avec un "rising tag"..par précaution (rang) et politesse. Le "tag" est une modalité de 2ème ordre : une subtile façon de glisser son opinion plus ou moins catégorique. 4 schémas : montant,montant/descendant ,montant/montant,descendant,/descendant,descendant.
Se traduira en contexte ..du plus élégant (me semble-t-il) au plus familier (hein?)

36 ) Temps du bilan :present perfect "You have never done any (même pas un mot! not a "scrap" of Latin)) Latin,have you?"..jusqu'à aujourd'hui. * Shakespeare has written 37 plays : (hey! dear travis!!): résultat dans notre présent, immédiatement consultable (books, theatre,films, DVDs,TV programmes..)

37 ) With a stern look : phrase un peu dédaigneuse accompagnée de ce regard (ponctuel, il faut espérer)# stern-looking(généralité)

38 ) "S"ir ou sir...: le petit garçon (titré) est peut-être impressionné.., mais il ne donne pas le titre de "Sir" au professeur même pas par respect d'élève à professeur.
On écrit : "Dear Sir" à un monsieur (politesse),mais dit "sir" comme "Yes,sir "ou "No,sir".

39 ) Well-thumbed[' md] : bien usitée et marquée par les doigts.(le pouce seul..me paraît toutefois problématique!..)

40 ) A dog-eared page :à "oreille de chien.".revoilà le labrador..bien écornée,donc.
an ear(= a pair of ear-rings)#to hear,heard,heard :whoops!

41 ) Latin au programme (curriculum): toute étude "sérieuse",classique, en est longtemps passée par là..Et le maître donne l'ordre,le transmet..comme l'agent de police qui peut vous dire "you can't park your car, here(interdit par loi,décret) (en pensant "must"). " You must learn this!"
Le maître a le pouvoir..incontesté à l'époque.
- to have to : modal de l'obligation : si le "garçon" a l'ambition,il ne peut faire autrement..mais si notre petit "numéro" décide de ne pas le faire..il a encore le choix. Donc, pas d'issue. C'est un ordre.
- to be to : on a donc publié les bans de mariage: "they are to be married on July 25th.."! C'est écrit trois semaines à l'avance et visible à tous en mairie (Town Hall)

Réponse: Ma première rentrée Thème I de violet91, postée le 05-10-2009 à 15:12:29 (S | E)
42 ) To point at, to point to : montrer du doigt. Il m'a semblé que "to" était employé car l'index touche le papier (plus proche qu'indiquer du doigt..une direction)

43 ) A frame : un encadré comme une "charpente".,un cadre-photo..

44 ) Half an hour is English. Je vois que l'on se détend aux US. (in half an hour time, within half an hour).

45 ) Back and see (constater) what you know..: car seul le résultat compte = la connaissance totale (de l'encadré!) : ce qu'il sait ,finalement. What you can remember ,what you have remembered, what you will have remembered> je vous ai embarqués "dans une galère" ..et vous maîtrisez bien le futur antérieur. En tout cas ,cela marquerait un vrai doute sur les aptitudes du "garçon"!

Woilà..pour le premier volet.. J'espère que vous m'avez trouvée assez claire. Maintenant(pour lui) digérer la première déclinaison latine et(pour moi!) comment faire un "tableau !" .Lien Internet

Infiniment merci de votre participation. A très bientôt.
