J'ai interés dans langues beaucoup. Pour moi, las langues dit de las sociétés différents et aussi de les personnes. Je vais continuer étudier l'français et autres langues .

**Je m'intéresse beaucoup aux langues.**

Notes:

1. s'intéresser à = to be interested in; the French verb is a reflexive verb, so you need to change the pronoun depending on who is speaking; here you're using the first person ("je"), so you switch to "me" [myself], which in front of a vowel becomes *m'*)

2. aux = "à les" (the "à" of "s'intéresser *à*" plus the "les" of "*les* langues"); "las" is Spanish

**Pour moi, les langues en disent beaucoup [not sure what you meant, here, but I switched "dit" to "disent" -- the plural form of "say" in the present tense -- and added some words that mean "to say a lot about"] sur les sociétés et les personnes différentes.***

Note: "de les" is always contracted into "des"

**Je vais continuer à étudier [you could also say "apprendre" = to learn] le français et d'autres langues."

These sentences are in classical Chinese, so the grammar is different from that of modern Chinese! Here are my translations, but let me know if you need more detailed explanations. :) 1. [About the "jade peach":] "If one eats it (***服 means to ingest or to take, as in 'to take medicine'; 之 is a third-person object pronoun***), one will live forever (***literally: "live long and not die"***). If one doesn't get to [不得] eat it early and takes it [only] on the day of one's death, one's corpse will be as enduring as heaven and earth [i.e.: it will not rot]." 服之长生不死, 若不得早服之, 临死日服之, 其尸毕天地不朽。 2. "In the east there is a tree. It is fifty-zhang high [1 zhang = 10 chi "feet"], its leaves are eight chi ["feet"] long, and it is called 'peach' (**名曰桃 = 名字叫**). The diameter of its fruit is 3 chi and 3 cun ["inches"]. Eating it in a porridge with its pit increases one's longevity. Eating the kernel inside the pit can cure cough. Small peaches are warming and moistening [温润]; people with a cough who eat it will [have their cough] stop immediately." 东方有树, 高五十丈, 叶长八尺, 名曰桃。其子径三尺三寸, 和核羹食之,令人益寿。食核中仁, 可以治咳。小桃温润, 咳嗽人食之即止。 3. "Peaches nourish people, apricots harm people, and under pear trees one buries the dead." 桃养人, 杏害人, 李子树下埋死人 As "wang haoyu" explains, people were not literally buried under pear trees. This is just a saying.

白的书 sounds extremely awkward. You should use either 白书 and 白色的书. You use "色" in 白色的书, not to emphasize that it is white-*colored*, but to make the expression more balanced and euphonious. The pace of the phrase is either 1-1 (白书) or 2-2 (白色的书). To add to Mr. Zhang's excellent comment, I would say it's not *always* necessary to add 的 after 色. There are expressions 绿色通道 (fast track, lit. "green passage) and 绿色蔬菜 (green [often in the sense of "organic"] vegetables) that require no 的.

Pas encore parfait! :) 1. In recent years, the Human Development Report [c'est le traduction officielle, et elle doit être en majuscules] has firmly defended the idea that this question relates to politics as well as the economy. 2. Power-sharing arrangements have largely proved decisive in resolving tensions. 3. Likewise, while an Indian emperor of a later era, Akbar, was speaking in similar terms about religious tolerance at the end of the sixteenth century, the Inquisition was in full swing in Europe.

Bonjour Hanâa, Il reste encore quelques erreurs à corriger dans les deux traductions! 1. There may have been *a* hierarchy of importance between the parties [voir note plus bas], but [deux traductions possibles:] (1) all [pas "everything", qui veut dire "tout"] were heard [toutes leur voix étaient entendues]; (2) all were agreed [tout le monde acceptait cette hiérarchie]. Sans contexte, c'est difficile de juger de quoi il s'agit... Note: La traduction du mot "intervenant" dépendra du contexte. "Stakeholders" veut parfois dire les "actionnaires" d'une compagnie, ou alors les gens qui ont partie prenante dans un groupe ou projet. Pour une traduction neutre, j'ai choisi "the parties". Autres traductions possibles: "the speakers" (les intervenants dans une conférence), "the participants", etc. 2. "Let's not destroy this fundamental truth, otherwise the weak will not know where to turn." Notes: Il faut dire "Let's not" (ou "Let us not"). "Do not" est erroné, parce qu'à la 2e personne. Un détail, mais il faut le mentionner: la version anglaise n'a pas besoin d'une virgule après "otherwise". Voilà, c'est tout!

Bonjour Ellie, C'est une très bonne question! Je pense qu'il s'agit d'une question de grammaire plutôt que de droit. On dirait "principe de suprématie" si on n'avait qu'un seul mot après "de", mais si on veut préciser de *quelle* suprématie il s'agit, il faut ajouter un article défini ("la" ou "le", ce dernier devenant "du" lorsque mêlé à un "de"). Quelle suprématie? La suprématie *du droit fédéral* (ou écrit, ou international, etc.). Quelle prévisibilité? La prévisibilité *du droit*. Etc. Le "principle de la bonne foi" est un cas limite. Quelle foi? La *bonne* foi. Mais puisqu'il est difficile de parler de "foi" sans adjectif, l'expression "bonne foi" est une expression fixe qui pourrait être traitée comme un mot unique. On pourrait donc dire "principe de bonne foi" sans que l'expression ne sonne faux, et en effet un grand nombre de publications juridiques parlent de "principe de bonne foi". Le "principe de la bonne foi" est quand même plus courant, peut-être parce que les juristes l'utilisent depuis plus longtemps... Pour résumer: - "principe de" lorsque suivi d'un seul nom - "principle de la (du)" lorsque suivi par une locution

Les deux premiers chiffres représentent un département -- 75 pour Paris, 93 pour Seine-Saint-Denis -- alors on les prononce toujours ensemble: soixante-quinze, quatre-vingt treize, etc. On peut lire un code postal comme Roxane l'indique (avec mille au milieu), mais on peut aussi dire aussi "soixante-quinze zéro vingt" et "quatre-vingt treize cinq cent".

As you probably know already, this is a passage from chapter 8 of the "Basic Questions" (Suwen 素问) version of _Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon_ (Huangdi neijing 黄帝内经). As many passages from the _Inner Canon_, this one can be pretty cryptic. In 小肠者, "者" is just a topic marker. It indicates that the statement that follows will be about the small intestine. 化物 means "transforming things". What you have is a transitive verb [化] followed by its object [物]. 焉 is a particle that replaces the two characters "於之" (simplified Chinese: 于之), where 之 is a third-person object pronoun ("it", "them", and the like) and 於 works as a preposition like "to", "from", etc. 出 means "to come out" or "go out", but also "to originate" 出焉, which in long-hand means "出於之", "originates from it", where "it" stands for the small intestine. And now the hardest phrase: 受盛之官. Guan 官 is simple: it means "an official". Why? Because the _Inner Canon_ described the human body as a state in which organs played the roles of different officials. Here the small intestine is "the official that 受盛." So the problem is 受盛. The general point is that the small intestine receives partially digested food from the stomach and has to transform it further, but even ancient commentators had trouble interpreting 盛! After some research, I found three possible interpretations: (1) "to serve as recipient for something" (the interpretation that is mentioned in the text waiting cut-and-pasted from the internet); (2) "to make prosper" (a causative use of 盛, a character that sometimes means "to prosper"); (3) as an equivalent of 成 (completed, perfected, achieved). Final proposed translation: "The small intestine is the official that (1) receives and serves as recipient; (2) receives what has been made to prosper; (3) receives what has been perfected [by the stomach]. The transformation of things [a reference to digestion, which transforms food into nutrition] originates there." Hope this helps!
