We have discovered that your ancestors had arrived in the United States one hundred years ago.

Moi aussi, j'ai été touché par le Malin. Un tatouage sur l'épaule gauche. Mais quand j'ai vu la face de Dieu, j'ai été transformé. Je me suis coupé le bras tout entier.

I have too been touched by the Devil. A tattoo on the left shoulder. But when I saw God's face, I was transformed. I cut my whole arm.

Be careful not to play the sixteenth notes too fast or the horn section won't follow. :?:

Without a sheet, the blanket makes you itch.

The kind of gnomic intransitive represented by "gratte" is tricky to translate into English, and English's methods for describing itchiness don't help. I ended up adding a dummy object, but the translation still sounds kind of awkward.

La qualité brute de ces esquisses montre l'ambition de l'artiste comme jeune homme.

The raw quality of these sketches shows the artist's ambition as a young man.

Il aura fallu à peune une semaine aux limiers de la police judiciaire de Nantes pour retrouver le reliquaire du cœur d’Anne de Bretagne et coffrer deux hommes impliqués dans le vol de cet objet à la valeur inestimable.

It'll have taken the Nantes police detectives barely a week to recover the reliquary of Anne of Brittany's heart and lock up two men implicated in the theft of this priceless object.

On répète souvent l'idée reçue que les petits barrages sont plus écolo que les grands, mais, si mal conçu, un barrage de n'importe quelle taille peut gravement nuire à l'environnement.

It has been often told that small dams are more environmentally friendly than the big ones, but no matter the dam's size they can seriously harm the environment, if badly designed.

Si tu me vois à ma fenêtre, dis-toi que je vais peut-être sauter. Mais ça va, c'est pas grave, t'inquiète; malheureusement j'habite au rez-de-chaussé.

If you see me at my window, say to yourself that I might jump. But it's okay; it's no problem; don't worry; unfortunately, I live on the ground floor.

Il y a dix ans, mon oncle a déménagé dans une cabane isolée au fond des bois au cas où il arriverait une apocalypse zombie.

Ten years ago my uncle moved in an isolated shack in the middle of the woods in case the zombie apocalypse happens.

Lorsqu’ils veulent condamner un suspect, les Occidentaux l’accusent de toutes sortes de crimes jusqu’à ce qu’ils se trouvent en situation de prononcer la sentence.

When they want to condemn a suspect, Westerners accuse them of all kinds of crimes until they find themselves in a position to be sentenced.

Il faut étudier la question, mais à priori votre proposition me semble très intéressante.

We'll need to have a look at the question, but it seems to me your proposition is very interesting.

Anaïs s’assoit, un sourire béat aux lèvres, et n’a curieusement pas envie de prendre son alto pour recommencer à travailler.

Anaïs sits down, a blissful smile on her lips, and curiously doesn't feel like taking her viola to go back to work. :?:

Sometimes, when I climb onto the roof of our little house to watch the gulf, I think I see Dad's ship, even though it's impossible.

Down with the colonialist project known as Françafrique, long live Algeria, go fuck yourself and give us money!

Parmi tous les gâteaux, Georges en a particulièrement noté un, que la pâtissière avait décoré de meringues en forme de coquilles Saint-Jacques.

Among all the cakes, Georges particularly noticed one that the pastrymaker had decorated with scallop-shaped meringues.
