English to French: Introduction to Romanticism. Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English The everyday and the exotic.
The attitude of the Romantics to the everyday, social world around them was complex. It is true that they advanced certain realistic techniques, such as the use of « local colours » (through down-to-earth characters, like Wordsworth’s rustics, or through everyday language, as in Emily Bronte’s northern dialects or Whitman’s colloquialisms, or through popular literary forms, such as folk narratives). Yet social realism was usually subordinate to imaginative suggestion, and what was most important were the ideals suggested by the above examples, simplicity perhaps, or innocence. Earlier, the 18th-century cult of the noble savage had promoted similar ideals, but now artists often turned for their symbols to domestic rather than exotic sources – to folk legends and older, « unsophisticated » art forms, such as the ballad, to contemporary country folk who used the « language of common men, » not an artificial « poetic diction, » and to children (for the first time presented as individuals, and often idealized as sources of greater wisdom than adults).
Translation - French Le quotidien et l’exotique.
L’attitude des Romantiques vis-à-vis de l’univers social et quotidien autour d’eux était complexe. Il est vrai qu’ils promurent certaines techniques réalistes, tel l’usage de « couleurs locales » (par des personnages terre-à-terre, comme les rustiques de Wordsworth, ou par un langage de tous les jours, comme les dialectes nordiques d’Emily Bronte ou les expressions familières de Whitman, ou par des formes de littérature populaire, tels des récits folkloriques). Pourtant le réalisme social était généralement subordonné à la suggestion imaginative, et le plus important était les idéaux suggérés par les exemples ci-dessus, peut-être la simplicité ou l’innocence.
Auparavant, le culte du XVIIIème siècle pour le noble sauvage avait mis en valeur des idéaux similaires, mais à présent les artistes s’orientaient vers des sources domestiques plutôt qu’exotiques-vers des légendes populaires et d’anciennes formes d’art « non-sophistiquées », telle la ballade, vers des provinciaux contemporains qui usaient du « langage des hommes ordinaires », pas d’une « diction poétique » artificielle et vers des enfants (présentés pour la première fois comme des individus, et souvent idéalisés comme étant des sources de plus haute sagesse que les adultes).
French to English: Japanese national History. Detailed field: History
Source text - French La victoire obtenue par le clan Minamoto ouvre, à la fin du XIIème siècle une période qui voit l'effacement du pouvoir impérial, réduit à sa seule dimension religieuse, et la montée en puissance de l'institution shogunale. Minamoto Yoritomo installe même la capitale shogunale à Kamakura, dans le Kanto, au moment où la caste guerrière des bushi (les samouraïs des Occidentaux) s'impose comme la force sociale dominante. Alors que l'autorité des souverains mongols héritiers de Gengis Khan est en passe de s'étendre sur toute l'Asie, le Japon va résister aux exigences de l'empereur Yuan de Pékin et par deux fois, en 1274 et en 1281, les flottes d'invasion ennemies vont être dispersées par la tempête, ce qui assure au pays le maintien de son indépendance. Les années suivantes voient le renforcement de l'autorité impériale, marqué par le retour du shogun à Kyoto en 1333, mais la fin du XVème siècle, dite "période des principautés combattantes", correspond de nouveau à un affaiblissement de l’État central. Cette évolution précède de peu l'apparition des Européens sur les côtes de l'archipel-le Portugais Mendes Pinto en 1542, le Navarrais Saint-François-Xavier en 1549-au moment où les Espagnols s'installent aux Philippines et alors que les négociants hollandais et anglais s'apprêtent à leur tour à installer des factoreries à proximité de Nagasaki. La fin du XVIème siècle voit se livrer des luttes farouches pour le pouvoir, quand s'affrontent Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, véritable fondateur de l’État japonais moderne, et Ieyasu Tokugawa dont la lignée finira par s'imposer. La fermeture du pays et les persécutions engagées contre les Chrétiens marquent le début d'une longue séquence d'isolement volontaire qui ne trouvera son terme qu'au milieu du XIXème siècle, quand Américains, Anglais et Russes exigeront par la force l'ouverture du pays. L'occasion pour le nouveau souverain MutsuHito d'ouvrir une ère nouvelle qui permettra de répondre victorieusement au défi lancé par les Barbares étrangers.
Translation - English The victory gained by the Minamoto clan opens a period at the end of the 12th century which witnesses simultaneously the erasure of the imperial power, reduced to its religious dimension, and the rise of the shogunal institution. The shogunal head of state is even established by Minamoto Yoritomo in Kamakura, Kanto, at a moment when the bushi warring class (the occidentals’ samuraïs) impresses itself as the main social force. Whilst the mongolian sovereigns’ authority, heirs of Gengis Khan, is on the march to spread across all of Asia, Japan will resist Emperor Yuan of Pekin’s demands and twice, in 1274 and 1281, the invading enemy fleets will be dispersed by the storm, thus ensuring the country’s independence. The following years see the strengthening of the imperial power, as showed by the return of the shogun in Kyoto in 1333, but the end of the 15th century, the said period of the « warring principalities », corresponds once again to the weakening of the central State. This evolution is shortly before the arrival of Europeans on the Archipelago’s shores-the Portuguese Mendes Pinto in 1542, the Navarrese Saint Francis Xavier in 1549- at the moment when the Portuguese settle in the Philippines and while Dutch and English traders begin to establish factories in the vicinity of Nagasaki. The end of the 16th century witnesses fierce power struggles, in the fight between Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, true founder of the modern Japanese state, and Ieyasu Tokugawa whose lineage will eventually prevail. The country’s shutdown and the persecution of Christians mark the beginning of a long period of wilful isolation which will only end by the middle of the 19th century, when Americans, Englishmen and Russians demand the opening of the country by force. This is the opportunity for the new sovereign Mutsuhito to start a new era, allowing to victoriously take up the challenge of the foreign barbarians.
