English to French: TOURISM: City Guide about Seattle (Introduction)
Source text - English Had Dorothy landed in this modern-day Emerald City of Seattle, she might have taken a wide-eyed look around and said, “Wow, Toto! The heck with Kansas!”
In this local update of The Wizard of Oz, she would have turned left off the yellow brick road and gone for a run around Green Lake, a tree-lined jogging/strolling/people-watching jewel in the middle of the city, which “won” the Emerald City nickname in a tourism contest in the 1980s.
Later that day, Dorothy might have sent Auntie Em an e-mail to say she had just been hired as a project analyst at Microsoft and is putting a deposit on a new condo near the Pike Place Market, where she can pick up organic biscotti for her rock-climbing club’s vegetarian picnic: “The commute will be a drag, Auntie Em, but I can buy a hybrid if I cut back to one chai latte a day.”
Translation - French Si Dorothée avait atterri dans l’actuelle Cité d’Émeraude de Seattle, elle se serait sans doute exclamée, ébahie par le spectacle qui s'offrait à elle : “Wouah, Toto ! Oublie le Kansas !”
Dans cette version contemporaine du Magicien d’Oz, elle aurait bifurqué sur la gauche, quittant la route de brique jaune pour entamer un jogging autour de Green Lake, un petit bijou bordé d’arbres, idéal pour la course à pied et les balades, mais aussi pour regarder les gens qui passent. Un véritable havre de paix au coeur de la ville, qui a gagné son surnom de Cité d’Émeraude dans un concours touristique des années 80.
Un peu plus tard, Dorothée aurait peut-être envoyé un email à sa tante Em pour lui annoncer qu’elle venait tout juste d’être embauchée comme analyste de projet chez Microsoft et qu’elle avait déjà versé un dépôt de garantie pour un appartement tout neuf près du marché de Pike Place. De là, elle pourrait facilement parer à l'essentiel, comme acheter des biscotti bio pour le pique-nique végétarien de son club d’escalade : “Le trajet pour aller au boulot sera un peu long, Tante Em, mais je pourrai bientôt m’acheter une voiture hybride si je me limite à un chai latté par jour.”
