traduction francais vers anglais

quelqu'un peut il m'aider à traduire. moi je v essayer de commencer de mon coté

L’eau est une ressource finie alors que nous les hommes ont ne cessent d augmenter. D’après ONU, on a besoin de 50 litres d’eau par jour pour les taches quotidiennes. Besoin que tout le monde ne peut obtenir.
Il n’y a pas que la quantité d’eau qui importe mais aussi la qualité. En effet, la quantité d’eau potable est faible à cause de la pollution. Cette pollution est du notamment à l’urbanisation mais aussi au mes faits des hommes.
70% de l’eau est consacré au secteur de l’agriculture par conséquence si l’eau est polluée, les cultures le seront aussi ce qui signifie que les populations seront contaminées a leur tour
Dan les pays ou l’eau est rare, les habitants doivent faire de longues marches pour aller en chercher. Il faut ajouter qu’ils la paieront chère et qu’ils ne sont pas sûrs de la qualité.

C’est aussi une source de conflits, c’est le cas pour le Nil qui traverse 10 pays. En amont,on retrouve des barrages ce qui provoquent des crues moins abondantes et un débit d’eau faible.

Des nouvelles technologies ont été mises en places pour diminuer la pollution tel que les stations épuration.
Dans les pays chaud ou l’eau y est rare, des stations de désalinisation ont été construite permettant ainsi de rendre l’eau de mer potable. Inconvénients : cher et consomme beaucoup d’énergie.
Certains pays construisent des puits qui puissent l’eau des nappes phréatiques permettant ainsi d’avoir de l’eau mais ceci à des conséquences à long terme tel l’épuisement de la nappe et la disparition du couvert végétale.
L’eau n’est pas utile que pour les hommes mais aussi pour les animaux et végétaux.

Water is a limited resource but we human don't stop increasing. Acording to the UN program, one person should use 50L water everyday necesarily. But almost none could reach this.

There are problems not only of water quantity but of water quality. In fact, flowing water quality (but your french version is la quantite, absurd!) can be damaged by pollution. Water pollution is mainly caused by the urbanisation but human activities are also to be blamed.

70% of water is used in agricultural sector, so if the water was polluted, the plants would also be polluted, and then the people living on them would be contaminated.

In the dry country, people have to walk long way to find water. They pay the water higher cost with uncertain quality though.

It's also one reason for conflicts, along the Nile which runs through 10 countries. In the upstream, you can find the dams that results in less abundant flood and weak waterflow.

The new technologies, such as the purification stations, have been ready to diminish the pollution.

In the hot and dry countries, the desalinisation stations have also been built to convert seawater into clear water. The only inconvenience is: it's expensive and energy-consuming!

Some countries also build up wells that draw underground water, but this will result in waste of underground water and loss of vegetation in the long run.

Water is essential not only for human but for animals and plants.

Bonjour!

Je vous propose quelques modifications

:

Water is an exhaustible resource, while the human population keeps expanding. According to the United Nations, we need 50 litres of water daily in our everyday tasks. Still, not everyone can satisfy this need.

Quantity of water is not the only important criterion – quality matters equally. In effect, the amount of drinking water has diminished because of pollution. This pollution has stemmed not only because of urbanization, but equally because of man’s wrongdoings.

70% of water is earmarked for the agricultural sector. As such, if the water is polluted, crops will equally be contaminated, meaning that the population will in turn, be contaminated. In countries facing scarcity of water, inhabitants must walk a long way to fetch water. Added to that, they pay for water at a high price and they are uncertain about its quality.

It is equally a source of conflicts, as is the case for the Nile, which flows across ten countries. In the upstream, dams built lead to less abundant floods and a meager water flow.

New technologies have been implemented with a view to lowering pollution, such as the purification stations. In hot countries or in countries where water is rare, desalinization stations have been built so as to make sea water drinkable. Their drawbacks: costly and consume tremendous amount of energy.

Certain countries build wells which draw groundwater, thereby providing them with water, but this bears consequences in the long run such as the exhaustion of groundwater and the disappearance of vegetation. Water is useful not only to man, but equally to plants and animals.

I guess NAR is an American, her ? French-English translation is really perfect according to the word-word standard as well as the classical style.

From her? words, I read about a real meticulous translator who works on every bit of the French words and phrases, which were always neglected by those careless translators, like me, who blindly promote the fashion of "free translation"!

She? is the real classical translator, who knows not only the origin language and the target language, not only in a translating purpose but also in an understanding savour.

I'm astonished by this nearly scientifically and numerically and structurally perfect translation, for the first time, since its coming!

Dear Pluiepoco,

It is a real pleasure for me to read these words!

I do appreciate the encouragement.

Thank you so much!

Mr. Genius is right: What a beautiful translation! For all that, I've detected a few minor mistakes, as proofreaders invariably do.

- "we need 50 litres of water daily in our everyday tasks" ---> sounds odd ---> 50 liters of water every day for our daily tasks

- This pollution has stemmed not only because of urbanization, but equally because of man’s wrongdoings. ---> sounds funny (we almost always use "stem" phrasally in this sense) ---> This pollution stems not only FROM urbanization, but equally from man's wrongdoings.

- "As such, if the water is polluted, crops will equally be contaminated, meaning that the population will in turn, be contaminated." ---> comma placement ---> Consequently, if the water is polluted, crops will also be polluted, meaning that the population will, in turn, be contaminated.

**NOTE** When in English have we ever said "equally" so much. That is French. Don't hesitate to use the mundane "also."

Je suis fatigué. Je vais me coucher. J'en finirai bientôt.

Ciao,

Pourquoi chercher une aiguille dans une motte de foin?

"we need 50 litres of water daily in our everyday tasks" ---> sounds odd ---> 50 liters of water every day for our daily tasks (I prefer NAR's translation which suits better here because yours sounds even more odd)
- This pollution has stemmed not only because of urbanization, but equally because of man’s wrongdoings. ---> sounds funny (we almost always use "stem" phrasally in this sense) --->???? (No mistake here either)-
"As such, if the water is polluted, crops will equally be contaminated, meaning that the population will in turn, be contaminated." ---> comma placement ---> Consequently, if the water is polluted, crops will also be polluted, meaning that the population will, in turn, be contaminated. (I'm afraid both bear the same meaning

)**NOTE** When in English have we ever said "equally" so much. That is French. Don't hesitate to use the mundane "also."

Hey are you really a proofreader?
