ROB back to Bg

 We left Bg not so long ago and are going to visit again Bg 's Varna, the beach and a few towns: I know of a medical museum the guide book says is unescapable, better a must-see.

Needless to say, we are looking forward to meeting Giaco and will be stunned by his beautiful French.


I think that this winter I will use my blog to publish articles about medical topics from sources such as the BBC.


For example, yesterday the president of a major state and his health minister were discussing Tylenol (or acetaminophen, the molecule inside Tylenol), and there is a debate about it. It was considered safe by the medical establishment before, but not so much now because it is allegedly a cause of autism, according to people who use this topic to weaponise politics, so to speak.

Is it just a firewall, a way of talking about one thing while keeping other matters hidden?


Or is there a good reason to be careful?


It is important to be aware of any side effects, even with well-known medication, in order to prevent serious consequences.


With that in mind, and with the widespread defiance of the establishment — or the 'deep state', which is blamed for everything — everyone must think for themselves. In any case, you also have to be trusting.

Plural needed

 "We want to get that money back," he said. "We're helping the country through a very very big problem... but the American taxpayer now is going to get their money back plus."

..... Very interesting, is not it?

24 Anniversaries

 The French President Emmanuel Macron is more unpredictable than Trump — not only did he say ‘no, this is not true’ directly refuting Trump’s words and interrupting him halfway through his sentence, but he also reinforced this stop with a friendly but patronizing gesture of putting his hand on Trump’s arm as if physically stopping him. I  saw that live....Excellent réaction ovewhelming the gourou, knocking down his lies...

It was a moment when Trump started repeating the lie that Europe was merely loaning Ukraine money and would get it back.

"No, in fact, to be frank," said Mr. Macron, touching Trump’s arm to stop him mid-sentence, "We paid 60 percent of the total effort and it was unlike the US loans, guarantees, grants, we provided the real money." He was stunned.

No news if JD Vance, a staunch ‘free-speech defender’ has survived that — he already was gasping for air when Zelensky said that Trump was living in a Russian-made “disinformation space.” 😂

ROB everyone someone plural!

  1  Americans can vote for a presidential candidate even if they are in jail. 

C'est une généralité; en français on utilise deux singuliers, l'anglais pose la donnée au singulier et le complément au pluriel.

  

   2  When someone feels cornered and alone, you do not know what they will do.

même mécanisme

  

    3 Each candidate is looking to cultivate their own diplomatic relationships in the final stretch of the campaign.    

 idem

    4 With Smartwatches, whenever the patient experiences symptoms, they can press a button on their watch, acquire an ECG and show that to us."

idem


5 EVERYBODY KEEPS IT FOR THEMSELVES. Des gens interrogés sur leur choix politique ou leur religion disent que pas de problème puisque chacun le garde pour "eux" (chacun le garde pour soi en français bien sûr.)


 But the world watches as the risk of explosive conflict looms - because when someone feels cornered and alone, you do not know what they will do.

 

For example, research revealed that for about 50-70% of the time, parents and children are "in sync". During these times, they may be doing separate activities, such as child exploring something, on their own, or a parent working.

 

But after a point, the height from which a person falls won't make a difference to how fast they are going. It's estimated that the human body in freefall reaches 99% of its terminal velocity (full and final speed) after dropping 573m (1,880ft), which usually takes 13 to 14 seconds.


We have determined a clear principle: Whoever harms us, we will harm them,


ANYONE can develop a cyst in THEIR thyroid gland.


The individual is seen carrying something in their hand.


Everyone has their say.


Everybody is holding their breath.


Similarly, someone who has a first-degree relative with a history of colon cancer should also speak with their physician about starting colon cancer screenings sooner than the general recommended age.


CNN: Should everyone talk to their physician every year about cancer screenings ?


One witness says he was checking out the scene around the courthouse when he saw the person set themselves on fire.


Je commente la phrase du dessus: Deux personnes en une seule: Elle se met le feu à. elle-même. 2 personnes donc. Pluriel. Ou lapsus... Enfin, ça me confirme que en anglais on met un pluriel facilement là ou le français ne le fait pas. BREAKING


Person reportedly sets themselves on fire outside court.


Someone outside the court has appeared to set themselves on fire.

 


It's a rapidly unfolding situation, we will bring you more updates shortly.
“It’s such a quiet, tiny place where everyone simply lives their life.
(Their, mais life au singulier)



Despite all those attacks, air raid alarms, we live normal lives, everyone keeps going out, playing, going to school, enjoying themselves, working. Life goes on, as normal.
...

I commit to not firing anyone who is doing their job....

BOB'S CHALLENGE

once again!

1 ) Les Américains peuvent voter pour un candidat présidentiel même s'il est en prison.

not!: americans can vote for a presidential candidate even if he is in jail: no no no : instead IF THEY ARE IN JAIL


2)  Quand quelqu'un est acculé, tu ne sais jamais ce qu'il va faire.

when somebody is cornered you never know what he is going to do : faulty! INSTEAD WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO


3 ) Chaque candidat fait attention à cultiver ses relations diplomatiques sur la fin de la campagne.

EVERY CANDIDATE PAYS ATTENTION TO THEIR DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS


4 ) Avec les Smartwatches, chaque fois qu'un patient éprouve des symptômes il peut presser sur un bouton de sa montre qui enregistre un électrocardiogramme pour  nous le montrer.

EVERYTIME A PATIENT FEELS SYMPTOMS THEY CAN PRESS A BUTTON SO AS TO ETC ETC


5) Chacun garde son avis pour soi.

EVERYBODY KEEPS THEIR MIND FOR THEMSELVES

Bob's CHALLENGE 2025

 Voici 5 phrases usuelles qu'un Français ne va pas traduire facilement, même après des années de pratique, pour une raison simple! .

Il faut prendre conscience du mécanisme, et ensuite c'est un jeu d'enfant.

Chaque ligne comporte deux éléments. C'est le deuxième qui est le plus dur à produire au début, jusqu'à ce qu'on ait intégré le mécanisme. Je serais curieux de voir comment un anglais fait le chemin inverse: sans prise de conscience et un peu d'attention...

1 ) Les Américains peuvent voter pour un candidat présidentiel même s'il est en prison.


2)  Quand quelqu'un est acculé, on ne sait jamais ce qu'il va faire.


3 ) Chaque candidat fait attention à cultiver ses relations diplomatiques sur la fin de la campagne.


4 ) Avec les Smartwatches, chaque fois qu'un patient éprouve des symptômes il peut presser sur un bouton de sa montre qui enregistre un électrocardiogramme pour  nous le montrer.


5) Chacun garde son avis pour soi.

Pour ces 5 exemples, la réponse est dans le post précédent de fin décembre.
