French to English: LOU-KIANG General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - French Quand ces deux monstres ne trouvaient pas quelque chose à lui reprocher sur son travail, ils lui faisaient des réflexions blessantes sur son physique un peu ingrat. C'est vrai, Lou-Kiang n'était pas très jolie, mais elle possédait une grâce certaine. N'importe qui l'aurait remarqué. N'importe qui sauf les Tchou. évidemmemt! Sa démarche par exemple...la jeune fille se déplaçait avec la même légèreté qu'un nuage qui glisse sur le sol sans bruit...
Et son rire, on eût dit que tintaient des cloches de cristal...
Et sa voix!... ahhh! sa voix!... quand ell chantait, les paysans dans les rizieres s'arrêtaient de travailler pour l'écouter.
Translation - English When these two monsters didn't find something to reproach about her work, they gave her hurtful refections about her somewhat unattractive physique. It's true, Lou-Kiang wasn't very pretty, but she had an unquestionable grace. No matter who would have noticed it. No matter who except the Tchous, of course! Her walk for example... the young girl moved about with the same loftiness as a cloud that glides along the ground without a sound...
And her laugh, you could say that crystal bells were ringing...
And her voice!... Ahhh! Her voice... when she sang, peasants in the rice fields would stop working to listen to her.

Source text - French Le balbuzard pêcheur est doté d'une si bonne vue qu'il repère les poissons en train de nager en profondeur. Il rase la surface de l'eau, puis plonge our saisir sa proie dans ses serres avant de s'envoler dans les airs.
Translation - English The Balbuzard Fisher is gifted with such an acute sense of sight that it can spot fish swimming in deep waters. He grazes the water's surface, then dives in to seize prey in its talons before flying back up into the sky.
