Bonjour, alors voila le texte anglais :

"Je suis née à Annecy. Mon père est mort quand j'avais trois ans et ma mère est
partie vivre avec un boucher des environs. Je ne suis pas restée en bons termes avec
elle. J'allais quelquefois leur rendre visite, à elle et son nouveau mari, mais je sentais
une gêne entre nous. C'était une femme dure et coléreuse, pas du tout sentimentale
comme moi. Ses colères me faisaient peur.
Ma tante, la sœur de ma mère, s'est un peu occupée de moi dans mon enfance. Elle
non plus n'était pas sentimentale. Elle se méfiait de tout, et de moi aussi. Je dois avouer
que nous n'avons pas eu de liens très profonds.
Les souvenirs que je garde de mon enfance ne sont ni bons ni mauvais. Je crois
que si mon père avait vécu, je me serais bien entendu avec lui et que tout aurait été
différent. On m'a dit de lui que c'était une « tête brulée » et j'ai mis longtemps à
comprendre ce que cela voulait dire.
Ma tante habitait Vevrier-du-Lac. Elle travaillait dans des villas chez des gens
riches. Elle y faisait le ménage, les courses et la cuisine."

Et donc ma traduction pour l'instant :

I was born in Annecy. my father died when I was three and my mother left with a butcher from (of?) the neighborhood. I have not stayed in good terms with her. I used to visit them sometimes, her and her new husband, but I felt (like) an embarrassment between us. She was a hard and irascible woman, not at all sentimental as me (as I am ?). Her angers frightened me.

My aunt, my mother's sister, took a bit charge of me during my childhood. She was no sentimental either. She distrusted everything. And she distrusted me too. I must admit we didn't really have deep bonds.

Memories that I have of my childhood are neither good, nor bad. I think that if my father had lived, I would have got well with him and everything would have been different. I was told he was a "hothead" (?) and it took me long time before to understand what this would mean (... it meant).

My aunt live in Veyrier-Du-Lac. She worked in the villas, by rich people. She did the housework, went shopping and cooked for them.





Voila, ou sont mes erreurs?

a couple of suggestions
