Quand on a compris que l'anglais a plus besoin que le français de situer les événements dans le temps et dans l'espace, on peut simplifier nos traductions en les élaguant.

Este é o livro mais antigo da língua portuguesa, chama-se Sacramental e tem 534 anos.

Fora impresso não em Lisboa mas em Chaves, escrito pelo Clemente Sánchez de Vercial, foi um clérigo leonês que viveu entre o século XIV e o XV.

Este livro foi proibido durante a inquisição.

If people reread your sentence, make sure it is to admire its beauty, not to understand its meaning.

French seems more tolerant of comma splices (using commas to separate two sentences, e.g., Je n’ai pas fini, je ne pourrai pas y aller avec vous). In English, use a period, a semicolon, a colon, a dash, perhaps even an ellipsis—but not a comma!

Par pitié épargnez-nous «Les bottines doivent suivre les babines.». La vraie expression: «Joindre le geste à la parole. » Pas mal plus joli. #quebec

“Maître” (Me) for lawyers has no equivalent in English. Say “Mr.” or “Ms.” and add lawyer/counsel/attorney/etc. after the name as necessary.

Cut off one's nose to spite one's face - to do something that is meant to harm someone else but that also harms the person who does it.

“At Just the Right Time” is a major theme of the Christmas story. My Christmas message extracts 5 lessons on HOW TO TRUST GOD'S TIMING in every area of your life instead of stressing out when you’re in “God’s Waiting Room.” Watch online https://t.co/o44qTWcpnC . Enjoy!

En médecine, on termine un traitement, on remplit un formulaire. Contrairement à l'anglais «to complete», le verbe compléter n'a qu'un sens, celui de «rendre complet ce qui était incomplet». https://t.co/P2HhtJl1ei https://t.co/uCVsC4LYSk
