Title	The past
Text Submitted by Mariketta	Source language: Engels In the West the past is like a dead animal. It is a carcass picked at by the flies that call themselves historians and biographers. But in my culture the past lives.

Title	Le passÃ©
Translation Frans Translated by tristangun	Target language: Frans Ã€ l'Occident, le passÃ© est comme un animal mort. C'est une carcasse, mangÃ©e par les mouches qui s'appellent eux-mÃªmes des historiens ou biographes. Mais dans ma culture, le passÃ© vit.

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	Can someone help me with this one? She says who call themselves historiens and biographers. I don't think biographer fits in the meaning of the text, though. Shouldn't it be biologist? CC: Francky5591 lilian canale

	tristangun Number of messages: 1014	Haha, I didn't let myself be fooled by the analogy of the text, the choice for biologist has nothing to do with dead animals, instead biologist are people who examine evolution, etc. which is also a part of history. Ok, she didn't make a fault, but still I think it is weird =) Ah et Gamine, tu es correcte! C'est le passÃ© vit, c'est une fault stupide de moi =D Je l'ai changÃ©.
