Hello dearest friends,

Voici un nouvel exercice de recherche de ce qui se dit - ou pas ! Les vacances se poursuivent encore ... on dirait que le rythme est difficile à reprendre ...
Encore un sujet "anecdotique" qui a attiré l'attention de mon élève ... Alors, coïncidence ? Lien de cause à effet ? Qui peut le dire ? Vous, peut-être ...

Cet exercice est un et sa correction sera en ligne le samedi 12 septembre.

PLEASE, HELP MY STUDENT! Malgré ses efforts, il reste 18 fautes dans son texte [plusieurs sont répétées maintes fois ...] Merci de l'aider à les corriger EN LETTRES CAPITALES. Il compte sur vous ...

As Y am concerned this correction had easy mistakes to find, however the verbs either in the infinitive or gerund raise a problem .

Hello my dear Here4u and thanks !
Hi everybody!

Je suis volontaire pour traduire l'ensemble de ce texte fort intéressant, car je n'ai pu, hélas, travailler ce forum dans les temps... !

FINISHED !

Here is my work:

THE FIRST PART:
A bit of sunshine can cause many of us to dream(1) of ice cream, sunbathing and beaches, but warm weather (2) can also make us violent, grumpy and depressed. Why?
The earliest studies into the phenomenon emerged in the late 19th century, coinciding with the first reliable crime statistics.(3) According to one analysis, offences against people tended to peak in the summer months, while crimes against property were found to be more common in the winter. Since then, the evidence has(4) been piling up.(5) City riots are most common during good weather(2) and people are less likely to (6) take to the streets when it is raining. Every year, as the mercury rises, we undergo(7) a collective transformation. Some of the symptoms are relatively minor – people are more likely to (6) honk their horns when they’re stuck in traffic; the police usually notice (8) a spike in disorderly behaviour (9); and we’re less likely to (6) help strangers out. /// END of Part ONE///

Un peu de soleil peut faire rêver beaucoup d’entre nous(1) de crème glacée, de bronzage et de plages, mais le temps chaud (2) peut aussi nous rendre violents, grincheux et déprimés. Pourquoi?
Les premières études sur le phénomène ont vu le jour à la fin du XIXe siècle, coïncidant avec les premières statistiques fiables sur la criminalité. (3) Selon une analyse, les infractions contre les personnes avaient tendance à atteindre un sommet en période estivale, tandis que les crimes contre les biens étaient plus fréquents en hiver. Depuis lors, les preuves s’accumulent.4. (5) Les émeutes urbaines sont plus fréquentes par beau temps(2) et les gens sont moins susceptibles de (6) descendre dans la rue quand il pleut. Chaque année, au fur et à mesure que le mercure monte, nous subissons(7) une transformation collective. Certains symptômes sont relativement mineurs – les gens sont plus enclin à (6) klaxonner lorsqu’ils sont coincés dans la circulation ; la police remarque habituellement (8) un pic de comportement désordonné (9); et nous sommes moins susceptibles (6) d’aider les étrangers. END de la partie ONE///

THE SECOND PART:
Then there are the uprisings. In one study, scientists tracked uprisings around the world and found that the overwhelming majority occurred in the summer months. Whichever/ Whatever (10) end of the planet they looked at, the relationship still held up.
More recent studies have confirmed the link between social movements and the weather. While it’s clear that the injustices and other triggers for social unrest (11) can happen all year round, it seems that we’re far more likely to react when it’s warm. The relationship between heat and things like rioting is U-shaped. So when it becomes very hot or humid, people don't do anything because it's just too (12) uncomfortable to move.
Why the weather(2)has such power over our behaviour is a total mystery – but as the world heats up, scientists are racing to find some answers. There is plenty of evidence (4) that high temperatures make us more angry and stressed, and less happy. /// END Of Part TWO ///

Ensuite, il y a les soulèvements. Dans une étude, les scientifiques ont suivi les soulèvements à travers le monde et ont constaté que l’écrasante majorité s’est produite pendant la période estivale. Quel que soit le lieu de la planète qu’ils ont analysé, la relation l’a toujours démontré.
Des études plus récentes ont confirmé le lien entre les mouvements sociaux et la météo. Bien qu’il soit clair que les injustices et autres déclencheurs de troubles sociaux (11) peuvent se produire toute l’année, il semble que nous sommes beaucoup plus enclins à réagir quand il fait chaud. La relation entre la chaleur et des choses comme les émeutes est en forme de U. Donc, quand ça devient très chaud ou humide, les gens ne font rien parce que c’est juste trop (12) inconfortable de se déplacer.
Pourquoi la météo(2) a un tel pouvoir sur notre comportement est un mystère total – mais comme le monde se réchauffe, les scientifiques se dépêchent pour trouver des réponses. Il existe de nombreuses preuves (4) que les températures élevées nous rendent plus en colère et stressés, et moins heureux. FIN DE LA PARTIE DEUX ///

THE THIRD PART:
One of the most obvious possibilities is that hot,stuffy weather(2) is uncomfortable, which puts us in a collectively worse mood (14), and leads to harmful behaviour: high temperatures make us more angry and stressed, and less happy.

Climate change threatens to bring(15) more intense heatwaves, more often, so understanding the link between weather(2 )and behaviour is more important(16) than ever. (16) It has some uneasy implications for the future. Scientists have predicted that, as climate change kicks in, just a 2C increase in global average temperatures could increase the rate of violent crime (17)by more than 3% in temperate regions such as Western Europe.

Hello!
Follow-up work:

Part I:
A bit of sunshine can cause many of us to dream of ice cream, sunbathing and beaches, but warm weather can also make us violent, grumpy and depressed. Why?
The earliest studies into the phenomenon emerged in the late 19th century, coinciding with the first reliable crime statistics. According to one analysis, offences against people tended to peak in the summer months, while crimes against property were found to be more common in the winter. Since then, the evidence has been piling up. City riots are most common during good weather and people are less likely to take to the streets when it is raining. Every year, as the mercury rises, we undergo a collective transformation. Some of the symptoms are relatively minor – people are more likely to honk their horns when they’re stuck in traffic; the police usually notice a spike in disorderly behaviour; and we’re less likely to help strangers out.

Quelques rayons de soleil peuvent amener nombre d'entre nous à rêver de crème glacée, de bains de soleil et de plages, mais un temps chaud peut nous rendre violents, grincheux et déprimés. Pourquoi ?
Les premières études sur le phénomène apparurent à la fin du XIXe siècle, ce qui coïncide avec les premières statistiques fiables sur la criminalité. Selon une analyse, les atteintes aux personnes avaient tendance à atteindre un pic durant les mois estivaux, tandis que les atteintes aux biens s'avéraient plus habituelles en hiver. Depuis lors, les preuves se sont accumulées. Les émeutes urbaines sont plus fréquentes par beau temps, et les gens sont moins enclins à descendre dans la rue lorsqu'il pleut. Tous les ans, lorsque le mercure monte, nous subissons une transformation collective. Certains des symptômes sont relativement mineurs -les gens sont plus susceptibles de klaxonner quand ils sont coincés dans un embouteillage ; la police remarque en général un pic de troubles à l'ordre public ; et nous sommes moins susceptibles d'aider des inconnus.

Part II:

Then there are the uprisings. In one study, scientists tracked uprisings around the world and found that the overwhelming majority occurred in the summer months. Whatever end of the planet they looked at, the relationship still held up.
More recent studies have confirmed the link between social movements and the weather. While it’s clear that the injustices and other triggers for social unrest can happen all year round, it seems that we’re far more likely to react when it’s warm. The relationship between heat and things like rioting is U-shaped. So when it becomes very hot or humid, people don't do anything because it's just too uncomfortable to move.
Why the weather has such power over our behaviour is a total mystery – but as the world heats up, scientists are racing to find some answers. There is plenty of evidence that high temperatures make us more angry and stressed, and less happy.

Et puis, il y a les révoltes. Dans une étude, les scientifiques ont suivi les soulèvements de par le monde et ont découvert que l'écrasante majorité avait lieu durant les mois d'été. Quel que soit le lieu d'observation dans le monde, la relation était toujours valable.
Des études plus récentes ont confirmé le lien entre les mouvements sociaux et le temps. S'il est clair que les injustices et autres déclencheurs de troubles sociaux peuvent survenir à tout moment dans l'année, il semble que nous soyons bien plus susceptibles de réagir quand il fait chaud. La relation entre la chaleur et des phénomènes comme les émeutes est en forme de U. Donc quand il commence à faire très chaud ou humide, les gens ne font rien parce que ça devient trop désagréable de bouger. La raison pour laquelle le temps a un tel pouvoir sur notre comportement est un mystère total, mais comme la planète se réchauffe, les scientifiques s'empressent de trouver des réponses. Force est de constater que des températures élevées nous rendent furieux, stressés et moins heureux.

Part III:
One of the most obvious possibilities is that hot, stuffy weather is uncomfortable, which puts us in a collectively worse mood and leads to harmful behaviour: high temperatures make us more angry and stressed, and less happy.
Climate change threatens to bring more intense heatwaves, more often, so understanding the link between weather and behaviour is more important than ever. It has some uneasy implications for the future. Scientists have predicted that, as climate change kicks in, just a 2C increase in global average temperatures could increase the rate of violent crime by more than 3% in temperate regions such as Western Europe. At the moment, many experts believe we’re on track for a temperature rise of over 3C, even if we meet all our current climate commitments. Why the weather affects us remains a mystery, perhaps we’d better brace ourselves for what’s coming.

L'une des possibilités les plus évidentes est qu'un temps chaud et étouffant est inconfortable, ce qui nous met collectivement de plus mauvaise humeur et conduit à des comportements nuisibles : des températures élevées nous rendent furieux, stressés et moins heureux.
Le changement climatique menace d'occasionner des vagues de chaleur plus intenses, plus souvent, et donc il est plus important que jamais de comprendre le lien entre le temps et le comportement. Il a des incidences difficiles pour l'avenir. Les scientifiques ont prédit que, à mesure que le changement climatique se fait sentir, une simple augmentation de 2°C dans les températures moyennes globales pourrait accroître le taux de crimes violents de plus de 3% dans des régions tempérées comme l'Europe occidentale. En ce moment, de nombreux experts pensent que nous sommes sur la trajectoire d'une augmentation de température de plus de 3°C, même si nous respectons tous nos engagements climatiques actuels. La raison pour laquelle le temps nous influence reste un mystère, peut-être ferions-nous mieux de nous préparer à ce qui va arriver.

Hello, Dears,

TRAVAIL TERMINE

A bit of sunshine can cause many of us to dream of ice cream, sunbathing and beaches, but warm weather can also make us violent, grumpy and depressed. Why?
The earliest studies into the phenomenon emerged in the late 19th century, coinciding with the first reliable crime statistics. According to one analysis, offences against people tended to peak in the summer months, while crimes against property were found to be more common in the winter. Since then, the evidence has been piling up. City riots are most common during good weather and people are less likely to take to the streets when it is raining. Every year, as the mercury rises, we undergo a collective transformation. Some of the symptoms are relatively minor – people are more likely to honk their horns when they’re stuck in traffic; the police usually notice a spike in disorderly behaviour; and we’re less likely to help strangers out.

1A) Un peu de soleil peut faire rêver beaucoup d’entre nous de crème glacée, de bronzage et de plages, mais le temps chaud peut aussi nous rendre violents, grincheux et déprimés. Pourquoi ?
Les premières études sur le phénomène ont vu le jour à la fin du XIXe siècle, coïncidant avec les premières statistiques fiables sur la criminalité. Selon une analyse, les infractions contre les personnes avaient tendance à atteindre un sommet en période estivale, tandis que les crimes ("infractions" conviendrait mieux ici... )a crime= un délit!) contre les biens étaient plus fréquents en hiver. Depuis lors, les preuves s’accumulent. Les émeutes urbaines sont plus fréquentes par beau temps et les gens sont moins susceptibles de descendre dans la rue quand il pleut. Chaque année, au fur et à mesure que le mercure monte, nous subissons une transformation collective. Certains symptômes sont relativement mineurs – les gens sont plus enclin à klaxonner lorsqu’ils sont coincés dans la circulation ; la police remarque habituellement un pic de comportement désordonné ; et nous sommes moins susceptibles d’aider les étrangers. et Choco ! C'est Très Bien !

Une très bonne première partie.

2A) Ensuite, il y a les soulèvements. Dans une étude, les scientifiques ont suivi les soulèvements à travers le monde et ont constaté que l’écrasante majorité s’est produite pendant la période estivale. TBonne phrase ! Quel que soit le lieu de la planète qu’ils ont analysé, la relation l’a toujours démontré.
Des études plus récentes ont confirmé le lien entre les mouvements sociaux et la météo. Bien qu’il soit clair que les injustices et autres déclencheurs de troubles sociaux peuvent se produire toute l’année, il semble que nous sommes beaucoup plus enclins à réagir quand il fait chaud. La relation entre la chaleur et des choses (événements?) comme les émeutes est en forme de U. Donc, quand ça devient très chaud ou humide, les gens ne font rien parce que c’est juste trop inconfortable de se déplacer.
Pourquoi la météo a un tel pouvoir sur notre comportement est un mystère total – mais comme le monde se réchauffe, les scientifiques se dépêchent pour trouver des réponses. Il existe de nombreuses preuves que les températures élevées nous rendent plus en colère et stressés, et moins heureux. Très bonne traduction, Choco !

Très bien compris Maxwell ! Très bonne traduction. BRAVO !

Un énorme BRAVO et à vous tous et encore plus à nos volontaires !

Ex 186/Back home, but not to normal

hello, everybody

1) Translate into English:

1. Maxwell : Il s'est mis la pression pour terminer premier et a caracolé en tête. Maintenant, tous les projecteurs sont braqués sur lui : c'est la rançon de la gloire/du succès...
He has put pressure on himself to get to the top and has been prancing in the lead. Presently
all the spotlight is on him :it's the price of success.

2.Maxwell : "Un pour tous, tous pour un ": telle était la devise des Trois Mousquetaires. Chacun pourrait la faire sienne, s'il voulait. Maxwell!

"One for all, all for one" such was the Three Musqueteers'motto. Everyone could make it it's own if possible.

3. Cet après-midi était très agréable. Tous les jours ne peuvent pas être aussi bons que celui-ci, mais tu m'as aidé à ne pas penser à mes soucis? (éviter de traduire littéralemen

That afternoon was most pleasant. Every day must not be as good as that one but you have
helped me to keep my mind off of my worries.

4. La prochaine fois que tu auras envie de lever le poing et de frapper, tu ferais mieux d'ouvrir la bouche et de parler.

Next time you fancy to wave your fist and punch,you'd better open your mouth and speak.

5. « Je m'informe sur les faits-divers ? mais c'est impossible de garder le rythme ! Il y a tellement de nouvelles ! Le pire est qu'elles changent constamment ! Si tout pouvait s'arrêter ? disons une journée ? j'arriverais peut-être à rattraper ! »

"I'm investigating on the various facts? but I failed to keep up the pace! There are such a lot of news !The worst is that they always keep changing ! I wish all that would get
to a stop?
Say, one daylong ? Maybe I might be able to catch up !" .

6. « Je n'arrête pas d'essayer d'aider les autres, mais en fait, à chaque fois, j'empire les choses ? » « C'est ce que font les héros ? »
"I can't stop trying to help others, but actually, each time I do make things worse ?
" Well, that's what heroes do ?"

7. Quiconque ne tire pas de leçon du passé est simplement condamné à le répéter ?

Whoever (doesn't learn from the past /forgets the lessons of the past) is just condemned to
repeat them.

8. « Ce sablé à la fraise ? Un pur délice ! C'est à en mourir ! »

"That strawberry shortbread ? A sheer delight ! It's to die for !"

II) Optional : Comment on either sentence 4, or 7, in 100 to 120 words. (je sais que vous aimez les petites expressions ... )
