peer agreement (net): +6fine buidings/dwellings Explanation: This text jogged my memory, as I recall doing it as an assignment for the Institute of Linguists' Diploma in Translation course; I think it's about some flats that have seen better days; will check my files! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-01-15 15:17:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Yep! It is an article from Le Monde (April 2002) and an extract formed the Social Science paper in last year\'s IoL French-English exam. I translated the term as \"fine flats\" and our lecturer didn\'t object to it. (Though I hope I\'ve progressed since then!) I\'ve still got a Word file of the assignment if you\'re interested! |
