Spanish to English: Los diez errores mas comunes de los padres - como evitarlos - Dr Kevin Steede General field: Other Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - Spanish Cuando los padres enseňan a sus hijos a evaluar una situación y les piden ayuda cuando es necesario, aumentan las oportunidades de éxito de los niňos. Por ejemplo, un niňo que no tiene miedo de hacer una pregunta en clase sacará mejores notas. Aprendiendo esta valiosa habilidad, los niňos podrán echar mano de diversos recursos para lograr sus objetivos. Se sentirán menos aislados y solos y desarrollarán rápidamente la confianze en sí mismos y el sentído de la competencia.
Translation - English When parents teach their children to evaluate a situation and they ask them for help when necessary, they increase their children’s opportunities for success. For example, a child that is not afraid of asking a question in class will come out with better grades. By learning this valuable skill children will be able to lay their hands on different resources to achieve their objectives. They will feel less isolated and alone and will quickly develop confidence in themselves and a sense of competence.
French to English: La Conquete de Plassance - Emile Zola General field: Art/Literary
Source text - French - Qu’avez-vous donc fait à l’abbé Fenil? lui demanda-t-elle.
Ils continuèrent à voix très basse. Le prêtre d’abord avait feint la surprise; mais, lorsque Mme Rougon eut murmuré quelques paroles qu’elle accompagnait de haussements d’épaules, il parut se livrer, il causa. Ils souriaient tous les deux, semblaient échanger des politesses, tandis que l’éclat de leurs yeux démentait cette banalité jouée. Le piano se tut, et il fallut que l’aînée des demoiselles Rastoil chantât la Colombe du Soldat.
- Votre début est tout à fait malheureux, murmurait Félicité; vous vous êtes rendu imposible, je vous conseille de ne pas revenir ici de quelque temps… Il faut vous faire aimer, entendez-vous? Les coups de force vous perdraient.
L’abbé Faujas restait songeur.
Translation - English ‘What have you done then to Abbot Fenil?’ she asked him.
They continued in a very low voice. The priest had first feigned surprise, but when Mme Rougon had murmured a few words, accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders, he seemed to let go and chatted. Both were smiling and seemed to exchange greetings while the flash of their eyes denied this put on banality. The piano went quiet, and the eldest young lady from the Rastoil family had to sing ‘The Soldier’s Dove’ which was very popular at the time.
‘Your debut is altogether unfortunate,’ murmured Felicity, ‘You have made things impossible for yourself. I advise you not to come back here for some time.. You need to make people like you, do you understand? A heavy-handed approach would be your downfall.’
Abbot Faujas remained thoughtful.
