Category Newspapers - Society / People / Politics | Les organisations internationales sont donc impuissantes? | | Source language: Frans
En quelques années, le programme alimentaire mondial a perdu la moitié de son budget, qui n'est plus que de 3,2 milliards. Les pays riches ne cotisent plus. Ils doivent sauver leurs banques. C'est à dire les spéculateurs. La lutte contre la faim dans le monde passe après. J'appelle cela un crime contre l'humanité. | Remarks about the translation | Propos de Jean Ziegler, recueillis par un quotidien régional français, au sujet de son livre "Destruction massive". |

| So, are international organizations powerless? | | Target language: Engels
Within the space of a few years, the World Food Programme has lost half its budget, which amounts to no more than 3.2 billion. Rich countries do not contribute anymore. They have to rescue their banks. That is to say the speculators. The fight against world hunger is secondary. I call this a crime against humanity. |

'That is to say the spéculators'. Something sounds wrong her. Couldn't one just say: 'the speculators' or 'which are the speculators'. Sure you can find somehing, Lein. | | | 29 October 2011 03:49 | | gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | Forgot the tittle: I would say 'So, are the international organizations powerless?

Thanks for your comments, Lene | | | 29 October 2011 20:55 | | |
The translation seems fine to me, but I'm a bit unsure of the meaning of "plus" in the second sentence. Surely the rich countries are contributing quite a bit of food since they are the countries with the most food surplus. | | | 30 October 2011 00:20 | | gamineNumber of messages: 4611 | | | | 30 October 2011 13:25 | | | | | | 31 October 2011 15:27 | | LeinNumber of messages: 3389 | Thanks all
