Message de marie11 posté le 05-03-2007 à 10:56:03 (S | E | F | I)
Bonjour.
Une question posée sur le forum m'a donné l'idée de vous proposer cet exercice.
Comment traduire "dont" ?
Si "dont" exprime une relation d'appartenance, c'est à dire un lien de parenté ou de possession alors on le traduit par whose directement suivi d'un nom sans article.
Exemples :
1- C'est l'homme dont la femme posséde le meilleur restaurant de New York.
He's the man whose wife owns the best restaurant in New York.
On emploie aussi whose même si l'antécedent ne désigne pas une personne.
2- La maison dont le toit est trop branlant devra être détruite.
The house whose roof is too shaky will have to be pulled down.
Remarque :
Le groupe whose + noun vient toujours en tête de proposition.
Ils ne rencontreront jamais le couple dont ils élèvent l'enfant.
They will never meet the couple whose child they're bringing up.
Conséquence :
Avec whose la structure est : noun + whose + noun.
S'il n'y a pas d'idée d'appartenance alors on emploie la préposition et le relatif appropriés.
exemples :
- Je ne connais pas les écrivains dont vous parlez.
Ici "dont" signifie : "à propos desquels".
On traduira donc :
- I don't know the writers you are talking about.
- John Davis a publié huit romans, dont le premier à l'âge de vingt-huit ans.
- John Davis wrote five novels, the first of which when he was twenty-seven.
- Bon nombre de mes amis, dont la plupart sont étudiants comme moi, préfèrent la montagne à la mer.
- Quite a few of my friends, most of whom are fellow students, prefer the mountains to the seaside.
Notez les tournures suivantes :
- Tu aurais dû voir la façon dont elles m'ont parlé.
- You should have seen the way they spoke to me.
- C'est tout ce dont je me souviens.
- that's all I remember.
Traduire les phrases suivantes :
correction : lundi 12 mars 2007.
1- Je te présente Judith, dont le mari travaille avec moi.
2- L'émission dont parlait Jenny ne passe plus à la télé.
3- Comment puis-je retrouver un ami dont je ne connais pas l'adresse.
4- J'ai choisi le candidat dont le nom figure sur cette liste.
5- La France est un pays dont j'aime la culture.
6- La façon dont il devinait mes pensées ne me plaisait pas du tout.
7- La foule attendait, peut-être une centaine de personnes, dont plus de la moitié étaient des enfants aux pieds nus.
8- Le prisonnier réfléchissait à la façon dont il pourrait s'échapper.
9- Il vous dira tout ce dont il se souvient sur les circonstances de l'accident.
10-Les élèves qui étaient en classe avec moi à l'école primaire ? Il y en a encore quelques uns dont je me souviens.

Hello
I'm glad my question drew your attention, even though it originally came from a complete blank in my mind! I'm gonna pretend many blanks from now on to get new exercices
(no just kidding) 
1- I introduce you Judith whose husband works with me.
2- The show Jenny was talking about is no longer aired.
3- How can I meet up a friend whose his adress I don't know?
4- I picked the applicant whose name is on this list.
5- France is a country whose culture I like.
6- The way he guessed (would guess (depending on the context)) my thoughts bugged me.
7- The crowd was waiting, perhaps more than a hundred people, over the half of whom were barefooted children.
8- The prisoner was thinking of a way to break out.
9- He'll tell you everything he remembers about the circumstances of the accident.
10- Pupils who were in my class in primary school? There still are a few of them that I can remember.
Thanks

Hello marie11
I'd like you to meet Judith whose husband I work with.
The programme Jenny was talking about is not on television any more.
How can I meet up with a friend whose address I don't know ?
I selected the candidate whose name appears on this list.
France is a country whose culture I like.
I didn't like at all his way he guessed my thoughts...
The crowd was waiting, perhaps one hundred people, half of them were barefooted children.
The prisoner was thinking about how he could escape.
He'll tell you everything he remembers about the accident circumstances.
The pupils who were in the same class as me at the primary school? I can still remember few of them.
Thank you.

Bonjour.
Voici quelques remarques :
I- Lorsque l'on présente quelqu'un on peut employer des formulations différentes.
1- This is ......
2- Have you met .....
3- May I introduce.....(to you).
II - Expression On/Off (the) air.──> passer / diffuser à la télévision à la radio.
On/Off(the)air : Broadcasting or not broadcasting on television or radio.
The programme was taken off the air over the summer.
Voici ma suggestion.
1- This is Judith, whose husband works with me.
2- The TV show Jenny was talking about is off the air now.
3- How can I find/locate a friend whose address I don't know ?
4- I've chosen/selected/picked the candidate whose name appears on this list.
5- France is a country whose culture I like.
6- The way he could guess my thoughts really upset me.
7- The crowd was waiting, maybe a hundred people,more than half of whom were bare-footed children.
8- The prisoner was thinking of the way he could escape.
9- He will tell you all he can remember of the circumstances of the crash.
10- Those who were my schoolmates in primary school ?
There are some that I still remember.
Voici d'autres exemples qui pourront vous être utiles.

We met many women, none of whom had
Il a écrit plusieurs nouvelles dont la plupart ont été égarées.
He wrote several short stories, most of which were lost.
J'ai rencontré des centaines de gens dont certains étaient étrangers.
