L'obscurité est totale. Bras le long du corps, 'homme est allongé sur une étroite couchette. Sa tête, parfaitement immobile, est engagée au centre d'un épais anneau tapiissé de détecteurs. Juste avant de quitter la pièce, une infirmière lui a injeté par voie intraveineuse de l'eau dont l'oxygène normale a été remplacé par son isotope 15 radioactif. Consigne a été donnée au volontaire de garder, en dépit de l'obscurité, les paupières ouvertes et faire avec ses yeux, durant deux minutes et avec une amplitude et une vitesse maximales, des saccades horizontales. C'est à dire des mouvements de droite à gauche et vice versa. Dans la pièce attenante, un chercher en neurosciences, scrute un écran cathodique où trône lùimage en coupe, ultra-détaillé, d'un cerveau humain. | Translation - English
There is total darkness. The man is stretched out on a narrow berth with his arms stretching alongside his body. His head, quite motionless, has been positioned in the middle of a broad band covered with detectors. Just before leaving the room a nurse has given him an intravenous injection of water in which normal oxygen has been replaced by its radioactive isotope 15. The volunteer has been instructed to keep his eyes open in spite of the darkness and for two minutes to make a range of horizontal jerky movements as fast as possible with his eyes (that is to say, movements from right to left and vice-versa). In the adjoining room a neuroscientist examines a cathode ray screen where a cross section image of a human brain is shown in great detail. | | French to English: Art History | Source text - French

Sun Yat-Sen (1866-1925) premier président de la république prenait ses fonctions le 1er janvier 1912.

The years preceding the birth of Chu Teh Chun determined the collapse of the dying Qing dynasty. A page in the history of the Middle Empire was to be turned for good, putting an end to more than thirty centuries of imperial rule. Sun Yat Sen (1866-1925), the first President of the Republic, took office on 1st January 1912 | French to English: For a journal

Vert crémeux de l'avocat, mauve délicat de l'asperge, orange velouté de l'abricot: la cuisine est affaire de goût mais aussi de couleur. Tour à tour séductrice, ludique ou pédagogique, la couleur tient le premier rôle dans les métiers de la restauration. | Translation - English
The creamy green of the avocado, the delicate mauve of the asparagus, the orange smoothness of the apricot. Culinary art is a matter of both taste and colour. Irresistable, entertaining or informative, colour holds pole position in the catering profession. |
