French to English: Principal types of erosion General field: Science Detailed field: Geography
Source text - French Les manifestations de l'érosion à la surface de la Terre sont dues aux actions individuelles ou conjuguées de l'air et de l'eau. Ces fluides agissent par désagrégation mécanique à l'échelle macroscopique et par altération chimique à l'échelle microscopique. L'étude macroscopique présentée ici permet de présenter les principaux types d'érosion visibles : l'érosion éolienne, l'érosion glaciaire, l'érosion par les eaux de ruissellement, et l'érosion marine.
Translation - English The manifestations of erosion on the surface of the Earth are due to the individual or combined actions of the wind and rain. They work by mechanical desegregation at a macroscopic level and by chemical weathering at a microscopic level. The macroscopic study shown here details the principal types of visible erosion: wind erosion, glacial erosion, run-off erosion, and marine erosion.
French to English: Odyssey General field: Art/Literary
Source text - French Reprenant notre voyage, nous avons rencontré les Sirènes, créatures à tête de femme et à corps d’oiseau qui, par leurs chants envoûtants, attirent les marins contre les récifs. Grâce à l’avertissement de Circé, j’avais ordonné à mes hommes de boucher leurs oreilles avec de la cire. Pour ma part, je m’étais fait solidement attacher au mât du navire afin de pouvoir écouter sans danger les mélodieuses voix féminines.
Translation - English Returning to our journey, we met the Sirens, creatures with the head of a woman and the body of a bird who, using their bewitching songs, attracted sailors to their rocks. Thanks to warnings from Circe, I had ordered my men to plug their ears with wax. As for me, I bound myself tightly to the ship’s mast so that I could listen to the famous melodies without danger.
