Exercice 49/Eager to work and play
Message de here4u posté le 31-07-2015 à 14:41:27 (S | E | F)
Here's some work to do... I know most of you are expecting some new difficult exercises... but they're not difficult!
Some translation from French to English..., a few jumbled up idioms and proverbs to untangle and of course, an abacus... Now that you have found out what to do, it'll be done in a wink...
The whole exercise is a and the collective correction will be on Thursday 13 August. Let the Force guide you.

A)Translate from French to English:
1) Lorsque le petit Marc est tombé, un hurlement terrible secoua toute la maison et les poils du chat se hérissèrent sur son dos.
2) Il est grand temps que tu comprennes que tu dois te défendre seul dans la vie, maintenant que tu es adulte.
3) Regarder les étoiles filantes dans le ciel d’août est reposant et amusant surtout si l’on fait un voeu à chaque fois que l’on en aperçoit une !
4) A peine avait-elle terminé son travail que son petit ami sonna à la porte pour l'emmener voir le film qu'elle voulait voir depuis qu'elle avait 12 ans.
5) J’ai entendu les sirènes des pompiers et du SAMU et 10 minutes plus tard, les blessés étaient transportés à l’hôpital à toute vitesse.

B) Here, you’ll have to work to find idioms or proverbs. Please, give their translations : (One only per line… I didn’t want to trouble anyone … again!)

a)/CRYING/HELP/SAD/COULD/WAS/SHE/SHE/SO/NOT/OUT/HER/EYES/; /./

b)/CAN/WE/THE/THE/OWN/OUR/NOT/BUT/SEE/BEAM/OTHERS/STRAW/EYES/EYES/THE/OF/IN/IN/,/./

c) /STRAW/CAMEL/IT/THE/THE/BREAKS/’S/’S/THAT/LAST/BACK/

d) /BLACK/IT/THE/THE/THAT/CALLS/KETTLE/POT/IS/

3) ABACUS : Slide the abacus beads (letters) along the wires (lines) to form 10 related words (belonging to the same theme) reading down. They’re NOT animals … but you’ll still realize this is no game!

Bonjour here4u,

Translate from French
- When little Mark fell down the whole house was shaken by a terrible howl and the cat’s fur bristled on its back
- It’s high time you understand that you must get along by yourself in life, now you are an adult
- To stare at the shooting stars can be relaxing and fun mainly if you make a wish every time you see one !
- Hardly had she finished her work when her boyfriend rang at the door to take her to see the film she had been willing to see since she was 12
- I’ve heard the sirens of the firemen and of the Mobile Emergency Service and ten minutes later the injured were taken to the hospital

Idioms and proverbs
- She was so sad she could not help crying her eyes out (Elle était si triste qu’elle ne pouvait s’empecher de pleurer à chaudes larmes)
- We can see the straw in the eyes of the others but not the beam in our own eyes (on voit la paille dans l’oeil des autres mais pas la poutre dans nos yeux)
- It’s the last straw that breaks the camel’s back (c’est le comble !)
- It’s the pot calling the kettle black (c’est la paille et la poutre)

Again no Abacus for me...Thank you and have a nice weekend..

Hello here4u
You'll find my finished try below.
Impossible to do the abacus as always. I think I would do better if it was cross words.

A)Translate from French to English:
1) Lorsque le petit Marc est tombé, un hurlement terrible secoua toute la maison et les poils du chat se hérissèrent sur son dos.
When the little Marc had fallen, a terrible yell shook all the house and the cat's fur bristled on his back.
2) Il est grand temps que tu comprennes que tu dois te défendre seul dans la vie, maintenant que tu es adulte.
It's high time you understood that you had to defend by yourself in life, now you are a grown-up.
3) Regarder les étoiles filantes dans le ciel d’août est reposant et amusant surtout si l’on fait un voeu à chaque fois que l’on en aperçoit une !
Staring at the shooting stars in the August sky is peaceful and funny especially if a wish is made every time we noticed one!
4) A peine avait-elle terminé son travail que son petit ami sonna à la porte pour l'emmener voir le film qu'elle voulait voir depuis qu'elle avait 12 ans.
No soon as she had finished her work that her boyfriend knocked at the door to take her to the movies to watch the film she had wanted to since she was 12.
5) J’ai entendu les sirènes des pompiers et du SAMU et 10 minutes plus tard, les blessés étaient transportés à l’hôpital à toute vitesse.
I had heard the firefighter and emergency ambulance service sirens and 10 minutes later, hurt people were brought over to the hospital at top speed.

B) Here, you’ll have to work to find idioms or proverbs. Please, give their translations : (One only per line… I didn’t want to trouble anyone … again!)
a)/CRYING/HELP//SAD/COULD/WAS/SHE/SHE/SO/NOT/OUT/HER/EYES/; /./
She was so sad; She could not help crying her eyes out.
Elle était tellement triste qu'elle ne put s'empêcher de pleurer toutes les larmes de son corps.

b)/CAN/WE/THE/THE/OWN/OUR/NOT/BUT/SEE/BEAM/OTHERS/STRAW/EYES/EYES/THE/OF/IN/IN/,/./
We can see the straw in the eyes of others, but not the beam in our own eyes.
Nous pouvons voir la paille dans l'œil du voisin mais pas la poutre dans notre propre oeil. Nous voyons les moindres imperfections chez l'autre et sommes comme aveugles devant nos énormes défauts.

c) /STRAW/CAMEL/IT/THE/THE/BREAKS/’S/’S/THAT/LAST/BACK/
It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
C'est la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase

d) /BLACK/IT/THE/THE/THAT/CALLS/KETTLE/POT/IS/
It is the pot that calls the kettle black
C'est l'hôpital qui se moque de la charité.

A great thank for this new interesting exercice as usual.
I wish I didn't make too mistakes.

Hello Here4u. Thank you for this new intertainment
.For the moment it is, maybe a draft..
I am thinking about your delicious abacus exercise.
Really I am not a champion…
I am starting with the translation

1) Lorsque le petit Marc est tombé, un hurlement terrible secoua toute la maison et les poils du chat se hérissèrent sur son dos.
When the little Marc had fallen, a tremendous yell shook the whole house and the cat's fur bristled on his back.
2) Il est grand temps que tu comprennes que tu dois te défendre seul dans la vie, maintenant que tu es adulte.
It's high time you understood that you have to cope on your own in life, now you are an adult.
3) Regarder les étoiles filantes dans le ciel d’août est reposant et amusant surtout si l’on fait un voeu à chaque fois que l’on en aperçoit une !
Gazing at the shooting stars in the August sky is relaxing and funny especially if a wish is made every time we caught sight of one!
4) A peine avait-elle terminé son travail que son petit ami sonna à la porte pour l'emmener voir le film qu'elle voulait voir depuis qu'elle avait 12 ans.
No sooner had she finished her work that her boyfriend rang her doorbell in order to take her to the film, she had felt like watching since she was 12 years
5) J’ai entendu les sirènes des pompiers et du SAMU et 10 minutes plus tard, les blessés étaient transportés à l’hôpital à toute vitesse.
I had heard the fire-siren and these of the emergency ambulance and 10 minutes later,
the injured were taken to hospital in double-quick time.

bye for now...

Here are the idioms and the proverbs

About ABACUS
I have found six words in the first vertical.
I have to find words in the last vertical in order to discover a common theme before leaving on Thursday...

Bye for now and have a nice day dear HERE4U

a) She was so sad; she could not help crying her eyes out.
Elle était tellement triste ; qu’elle ne pouvait s'empêcher de pleurer toutes les larmes de son corps.

b).We can see the straw in the eyes of others, but not the beam in our own eyes.
Nous voyons la paille dans l’œil de notre voisin, mais pas la poutre dans notre propre œil.

Thanks here4U for this 5-star abacus I won't forget! After hours and hours of research, I am dying for the answer.

A)
1) When little Mark fell down, the entire house was shaken by a terrible scream and the cat's fur bristled on its back
2) It's high time you understood that you have to defend yourself alone in life, now that you're an adult.
3) Staring at shooting stars in the sky in August is restful and funny especially if we make a wish each time we can see one !
4) Hardly had she finished her work when her boyfriend rang at the door to take her out to watch the movie she had been waiting to since she was twelve.
5) I could hear the firefighter siren and the ambulance siren, and ten minutes later, the injured were rushed to hospital

B)
a) She was so sad ; she could not help crying her eyes out. = Elle était tellement triste ; elle ne pouvait s'empêcher de pleurer toutes les larmes de son corps.
b) We can see the straw in the eyes of others, but not the beam in our own eyes. = nous voyons la paille dans l'oeil de notre voisin, mais pas la poutre dans le nôtre.
c) It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back = c'est la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase
d) It is the pot that calls the kettle black : c'est l'hôpital qui se moque de la charité

C) I'm afraid I'm stuck : I've found many words dealing with this theme, but I don't know which ones are correct, and there are far too many possibilities... and I'm almost sure I don't know the other words
TOWEL (5) or TOWELS (6)
SEA (3)
SNORKEL (7)
SWIMMING (8) or SWIM (4)
SAND (4)
WAVES (5) or WAVE (4)
SHARK (5) or SHORE (5) or SHELL (5)

Hello
for asking ... In fact I had, at first, forgotten to write the clues... Then I imagined that as you didn't ask for them, you didn't need them... I was just being hard on you ... naughty me!
Here are the clues : 10 words: one has 3 letters, 3 have 4 letters, one has 5 letters, 2 have 6, one has 7 and 2 have 8 letters! Hope it will help !
Have a good week!

Hello dear Here4u!

Thank you for this exercise.
I only did the first part as I've found the same as other people in the third one, and you know I'm not keen on abacus at all. So my essay is ready to be corrected.

A) Translate:
1) Lorsque le petit Marc est tombé, un hurlement terrible a secoué toute la maison et les poils du chat se sont hérissés sur son dos.
When little Marc fell down, the whole household was shaken by a terrific yell and the cat's fur brisled.

2) Il est grand temps que tu comprennes que tu dois te défendre seul dans la vie, maintenant que tu es adulte.
It's high time you understood you'll have to hold your own in life, now that you've grown up.

3) Regarder les étoiles filantes dans le ciel d'août est reposant et amusant, surtout si on fait un vœu chaque fois qu'on en aperçoit une.
Watching the shooting stars in August skies is relaxing and entertaining, particularly if you make a wish at each glimpse of one!

4) À peine avait-elle terminé son travail que son petit ami sonna à la porte pour l'emmener voir le film qu'elle voulait voir depuis l'âge de 12 ans.
No sooner her work over/ had she finished her work than her boyfriend rang the bell in order to take her to a film she'd been eager to watch since she was twelve.

5) J'ai entendu les sirènes des pompiers et du SAMU et dix minutes plus tard, les blessés étaient transportés à l'hôpital à toute vitesse.
I could hear the sirens of the firefighters and the ambulance, and ten minutes later, the injured were rushed to hospital.

Enjoy your holiday! See you soon.

Hello tereda!
Don't worry... you still have a lot of time... (till the 13th! )
Now that I gave the theme, you should see that some words don't fit in... and make the necessary adjustments ...
Have a great weekend!

As soon as little Marc fell, a terrible shriek shook the whole house/echoed through the house, making bristle the cat’s hairs on his back.

2) Il est grand temps que tu comprennes que tu dois te défendre seul dans la vie, maintenant que tu es adulte.
It's time you understand you have to defend yourself on your own in the life , now that you're an adult.

3) Regarder les étoiles filantes dans le ciel d’août est reposant et amusant surtout si l’on fait un voeu à chaque fois que l’on en aperçoit une !
Watching the shooting stars in the August sky is relaxing and amusing, especially if you make a wish whenever you spot one.
4) A peine avait-elle terminé son travail que son petit ami sonna à la porte pour l'emmener voir le film qu'elle voulait voir depuis qu'elle avait 12 ans.
Hardly had she finished her work that the doorbell rang.
It was her young boy friend who had come to take her to watch the movie he had been wanting to, since she was 12 years old.
5) J’ai entendu les sirènes des pompiers et du SAMU et 10 minutes plus tard, les blessés étaient transportés à l’hôpital à toute vitesse.
I heard the sirens of firefighters and EMS and 10 minutes later, the wounded were taken to hospital at top speed.

B) Here, you’ll have to work to find idioms or proverbs. Please, give their translations : (One only per line… I didn’t want to trouble anyone … again! )
a)/CRYING/HELP//SAD/COULD/WAS/SHE/SHE/SO/NOT/OUT/HER/EYES/; /./
She was crying her eyes out; so sad she could not help.
Elle pleurait à chaude larmes, si triste qu’on ne pourrait l’aider
b)/CAN/WE/THE/THE/OWN/OUR/NOT/BUT/SEE/BEAM/OTHERS/STRAW/EYES/EYES/THE/OF/IN/IN/,/./
We can see the straw in the eyes of others, but not the beam in our own eyes.

d) /BLACK/IT/THE/THE/THAT/CALLS/KETTLE/POT/IS/
It is the pot that calls the kettle black.
Il est le pot qu’appelle la bouilloire noire.
Voyez en peu qui nous fait la morale!

3) ABACUS :
I didn’t lose my patience, but, this time, the force wasn’t enough to make me able to find other words than:
park, swimming, snorkel, towel, sand, waves, which could fit the grid in accordance with the theme. Not everything turns out as it should.
Sorry.

Notwithstanding this, your exercise was, as usual, an excellent one and I thank you very much for your professionalism.
I wish you a great week and remain,
Yours friendly
Joe

Hello ! ARGHHHHHHHH I've done it again ...
On the seventh line, third letter, you must read B instead of M . SORRY! How could I do that and not see it before, in spite of my many proofreadings?
I'm awfully sorry, even though I fear it might not change much... (but it might...) Will you ever forgive me?
I must (also) admit it was extremely difficult... worth more than
I'll start sending the individual corrections tomorrow and N°50, which should be less irritating, will be online on the 13th in the morning ...
