French to English: Dystonie du musicien General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - French Le soutien psychologique est crucial pour le succès de la rééducation. Les patients atteints de dystonie du musicien souffrent de nombreuses émotions négatives: d’une part le sentiment de culpabilité que leur propre comportement ait favorisé la dystonie, d’autre part des sentiments de honte parce que la maladie ne correspond pas à l’image de soi de l’artiste à succès et conduit à des pensées dévalorisantes. En outre, il y a la peur pour l’avenir professionnel et la colère face à l’injustice du destin ainsi que la frustration des tentatives vaines pour parvenir à un rétablissement rapide. Toutes ces émotions augmentent les niveaux de stress et conduisent à la dépression, au découragement et à un sentiment de futilité et d’inutilité.
Translation - English Psychological support is crucial to the success of rehabilitation. Patients impaired by musician’s dystonia suffer from an array of negative emotions: on the one hand, a feeling of guilt that their own behaviour has played its part in bringing about their dystonia and on the other, feelings of shame caused by the artist’s shaken self-image, which leads them to disparaging thoughts about themselves. Furthermore, the patient can experience fear for their professional future, anger at the injustice of fate and frustration at unsuccessful attempts to find an expedient cure. All of these emotions increase stress levels and can lead to depression, discouragement and a feeling of futility and uselessness.
French to English: La création General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - French Il n'y a de création que sauvage, non-disciplinée, imprévisible. La stupide "liberté" ne suffit pas à la création. La création est insensée, farouche, bestiale. Elle n'a que faire de la liberté toujours insuffisante. La création, n'est une succession de victoires éphémères sur le tourment, dragon qui revient tout le tempts et dont on n'attrape que la queue.
Translation - English The act of creation is inherently wild, untamed, unpredictable. Vapid ‘freedom’ is not enough to create. Creation is senseless, feral, animal. It overruns the bounds of ever-insufficient freedom. Creation is a string of ephemeral victories over the persistent dragon of torment, of which we only ever catch the tail.
French to English: Lumière et audace General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - French Ma langue doit se faire plus poétique pour mieux chanter la lumière qui frappe mon coeur par les yeux. J’irai plus loin dans l’audace. Je me libèrerai de mes hésitations. Je sais que mes décisions sont les fruits de l’inspiration. Comme toute inspiration, celle qui me visite est infaillible. Je dois la suivre en toute confiance comme je suis vos pensées toujours favorables et toujours bénéfiques.
Translation - English My tongue must wax more poetic to better sing the light that strikes my heart through my eyes. I will be yet more audacious. I will break free of my inhibitions. I know that my decisions are born of inspiration. Like all inspiration, the one that settles upon me is unfailing. I must trust its leading completely, as I trust your thoughts, always benevolent and kind.
