Fordítás - Francia-Angol - Toute ma vie, j'ai eu de la chance...Ma première...

Hi Diego,

"At first, I was born poor" should read:

For one thing, I was born poor.
or
To start with, I was born poor.

The expression should show that the person will probably enumerate several things, one after another. Do you get it?

"...a society which refused me the bread, when a child?

"Which has denied me the money to buy something to relieve the pains of my cancerous father?

What do you think?

Oi Lily,

Wouldn't be better if I wrote "FIRST OF ALL, I was born poor"?
...and "a society which refused me SOME bread, child"?

Não acho que a tradução esteja completamente fiel ao original. No original em francês a palavra refusé ocorre duas vezes, enquanto que na tradução em inglês são usadas as palavras "refused" e "denied"; a primeira, erroneamente. Além disso o parágrafo e a interrogação no fim do texto não ocorrem no original.

"Which" should be changed by "what"

"Richness" should be changed with "wealth".

And unless Diego is metaphorically associating poverty with misery, I believe the sentence should read, "Wealthy people, misery."
