Bonjour,
Est-ce que quelqu'un sait commenttraduit-on on peut traduire? : It got to be so that... ou it got so that?
Voici une partie du dialogue (toujours la même personne qui parle):
- Actually, your mother wasn't a waitress. It was a summer job,and she was the hostess,and she also worked the cash register.
- And I used to go in there a lot because it was close enough to the lab where I could ride my bicycle.
- And once I noticed her...it got to be so that I would only go in when I knew she was working.
- When it was slow, she would lean against the counter, doing her crossword puzzles, but kind of hiding it, right,pretending that
she was still working.
- And once I caught on to that,I would do crossword puzzles while I ate my grilled cheese sandwich.
- It got so that everyday at lunch, we would both be doing the New York Times crossword puzzle ten feet from each other.
Merci à vous.

Hello- And once I noticed her...it got to be so that I would only go in when I knew she was working.
And once I noticed her, over time (as time went by), I would only go...
Although it's impersonal (it), it means that he planned it so that he would only go in where she was working.
- It got so that every day at lunch, we would both be doing the New York Times crossword puzzle ten feet from each other.
Over time (as time went by)...

Euh en fait j'ai pas trop compris Notrepere, comment on peut traduire "it got to be so that", je dirais : "ça devait être de façon à"
Mais ça sonne faux.
D'ailleurs au passage j'ai découvert grâce à ce dialogue que "would" s'utilise pour décrire une habitude passée.

Hello hadrien,
Pour vraiment progresser en anglais, il convient de ne pas vouloir systématiquement chercher 'l'équivalent ' dans l'autre langue ...
L'anglais a le droit d'exister sans le français ... et réciproquement !
La traduction n'est qu'un exercice lorsqu'un certain niveau a été atteint Et jamais une expression n'est exactement équivalente ('loses much in the translation'
) Mieux vaut s'habituer à chercher la définition (www.wordreference.com) dans la langue, puis les synonymes que de vouloir s'attacher au mot ( il y en a tant pour exprimer la même idée qu'il serait dommage d'enfermer un mot dans une seule signification ...) Chercher dans la langue est un plus gros effort, et parfois une vraie difficulté, mais finalement, c'est celui qui paye !!! Courage !
Have a happy and relaxing 4th of July, NP, and all our American friends!

Ah oui notrepere tu as raison, je n'avais pas bien lu la réponse de gerondif.
J'essaye de ne pas toujours trouver d'équivalent français mais ce n'est pas évident pour moi.

Hello
Just a suggestion.......
It got to be that - or - it got so that ......... "It came about that"
Keep cool this beautiful Sunday.
