Puis , quelqu’un dit :-Et si on s’amusait un peu tout en faisant de la gym ? Un autre répond :-Dehors, c’est non !Il fait froid ! -Ici, à l’intérieur…Regarde les carreaux de la cuisine sont flous , et si on leur donnait un coup de brillance …en utilisant un desinfectant fait-maison, :la cendre là-bas sous la cheminée!? -Laissons –la se refroidir. Puis à l’aide d’un tissu en coton légèrement humide et saupoudré d’une cuillère à soupe de cendre refroidie, frottons délicatement les carreaux de la cuisine et même ceux de la salle de bain. -ça,c’est du nettoyage à sec…mais sans transpiration ! -Au final, pas d’eau , pas de soucis, le chez-moi reste propre ! <iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Feyango.nkongo%2Fposts%2F802180819841480&show_text=true&width=500" width="500" height="447" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share"></iframe>

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream -- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think -- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run --
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!

THE WORLD OF IDIOMS

The headache of translators while working with idioms is to find the right  counterparts in the target language . In this line false friends are numerous .

An illustration is  the French idiom “ se répandre comme une traînée de poudre “. From the first look translating this expression into English  may yield an awkward phrase, that is :«  spreading out like gunpowder” . Sure an English reader is likely to puzzle about the meaning of such statement .

Whereas when the translator  reminds himself that the adjacent idea of the French idiom refers to how fast something can reach out both people  and places , then he would recall an English idiom that can match up  with the source phrase though the image that is referred to  may be quite different . We think of the idiom  “ to spread out like wildfire”.

Noteworthy is the fact that the noun “ wildfire “ is not a synonymous to “traînée de poudre” yet the idioms are equal to each other . They convey the same message of fastness and danger

Another example is the English phrase  :” circumstances beyond our control” . its French counterpart is “ circonstances indépendantes de notre volonté”. It can be noted that etymologically the word “ beyond “is an English adverb and does not match with the adjective “ indépendantes” . Plus “ control “ does  not have the same meaning with the French “ volonté” .Nonetheless the above phrases are equivalent to each other . Should a translator have used the French “contrôle” ,in a word-by-word translation , the phrase would turn to be baffling indeed .

Here under are listed some other  double-crossing  phrases and idioms

English	False French friend	Right French friend
The ins and outs of To be a matter of dispute To chase rainbows To be the chef in the kitchen	Les intérieurs et les extérieurs de être l’objet de dispute Poursuivre les arcs-en-ciel être le chef -cuisinier	Les rouages de.. Etre un sujet à caution Chercher les poux sur les bouteille être le seul maitre à bord

Still , not all the idioms and phrases in a language have a counterpart in the others for languages vary in their historical background and their lexicons.

In such a situation the skillful translator is bound to explain the meaning of the source idiom . The point is to help foreign readers understand what the speaker has in his or her mind .Example : given the French idiom “ on n’ y va pas la fleur au fusil” . It means a work should not be taken as a play . It can be noticed that the phase” on n’y va pas “ is the negative form of a phrase that basically alludes to a movement like the action of  leaving a place to another one . But since it related to an idiom it takes up a figurative resonance and then refers to an initiative that is going to be undertaken  or a project or a work that are going to be carried out with eagerness .

The world of idioms is breath-taking.

TRANSLATION AND ITS TEACHING SESSIONS

Accuracy is a focal point in the translation work . Then for accuracy purposes  every thorough translators should  fan out some informative details that help foreign readers grasp the spirit of the author. Accuracy is two-folded : first  it entails putting the right counterparts side by side. And secondly it involves informing the readers about some details that they might ignore . For example the translation of geographical texts as well as that of historical  material

Historical documents often harbours names of high personalities . Usually in the source texts , personalities are called  without any mention of their titles or their rank  for the writer assumes the readers well know whom he or she is portraying

Yet foreign readers may not know them . Hence the compulsion  of the translator  to bring in his or her work more details that are going to  enhance a better understanding of the reading material .

Given the translation of French names : Henri II ,and  Louis XIV. The English results are : king Henry II and king  Louis XIV for English –speaking people might not know the rank of these folks.

Similarly geographical entities should be located with accuracy . For instance given a source text with the address : “ Pennsylvania , N.Y.city ”. The French translation will give more details by featuring the country that is , ‘ Pennsylvanie, New York , Etats-Unis “.  By mentioning the country in the target text the translator ensures that any French reader is going to figure out the spatial framework of the text .

In this regards translation is also an explanatory  task.
