English to French: Ecuador’s Yasuni park: where oil vies with tourism for the rainforest General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Tourism & Travel
Source text - English We were on Ecuador’s Napo river, which runs east from the Andes and flows into the Amazon in Peru. The vast rainforest region it flows through is one of the most biodiverse in the world, and is being fought over by two great economic powers of modern life: petroleum and tourism. Only that morning the talk in the main village, an hour downstream, was of an upcoming meeting to discuss the future of the Sani Lodge. That gorgeous little cluster of cabins in a clearing by a lake was the only reason the community had refused the oil company’s offer. But Petroamazonas had come back a year ago with a new offer. The pressure was growing.
My young guide, Victor, put the issue bluntly. “We get an average of 12 guests a day at the lodge, but we need 15. The community is split, but at the moment the pro-tourism group has a small majority over the pro-oil group.”

Translation - French Nous sommes en Équateur, sur la rivière Napo qui coule vers l’Est des Andes pour se jeter dans l’Amazone, au Pérou. La vaste zone de forêt tropicale que la rivière traverse est une des plus riche au monde en termes de biodiversité et deux grandes puissances économiques modernes se l’arrachent : le pétrole et le tourisme. Ce matin-là seulement, dans le principal village, à une heure en aval, on ne parlait que de la réunion prévue pour discuter du futur de Sani Lodge. Ce superbe petit chapelet de cabines dans une clairière aux abords d’un lac était la seule raison pour laquelle la communauté avait refusé l’offre de la compagnie pétrolière. Cependant, Petroamazonas était revenue avec une nouvelle offre il y a un an. La pression montait.
Mon jeune guide, Victor, m’expose crûment la situation : « En moyenne, nous recevons 12 invités par jour à Sani Lodge, alors que nous aurions besoin de 15 invités. La communauté est divisée, mais en ce moment la faction pro-tourisme a une petite majorité par rapport à la faction pro-pétrole. »
English to French: Peach salsa with mint Detailed field: Cooking / Culinary
Source text - English Peach salsa with mint
makes about 1.5 cup
Ingredients:
1/2 of a small red onion, finely chopped
juice and zest of 2 limes
4 ripe peaches, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno, seeded and very finely chopped (or more or less if you like)
2 tablespoons chopped mint (or you could use cilantro)
salt, to taste
METHOD:
Chop and combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
I like to let the red onion sit in the lime juice for a few minutes while I chop up the rest of the ingredients to tone down a bit of the harsh raw onion flavor. This is best if chilled in the refrigerator for a least 20 minutes in order for the flavors to mesh together.

Translation - French Salsa pêche et menthe
Donne environ une tasse et demie
Ingrédients :
1/2 d’un petit oignon rouge, finement haché
Jus et zeste de deux limes
4 pêches mûres, finement hachées
1 petit piment jalapeno, épépiné et haché très finement (ou au goût)
2 cuillérées à table de menthe hachés (ou de coriandre)
sel, au goût
PRÉPARATION :
Couper et mélanger tous les ingrédients dans un petit bol.
J’aime laisser l’oignon rouge mariner dans le jus de lime pendant que je coupe le reste des ingrédients pour réduire un peu la force du goût de l’oignon. L’idéal est de laisser le tout reposer dans le réfrigérateur pour au moins 20 minutes pour que les saveurs se mélangent bien.
