✾ Book ✾ Film 'For Your Eyes Only' Fleming, Glen 'Rien que pour vos yeux'

ⓘ Eyes on the prize Il s'agit d'une phrase extraite d'une chanson du mouvement pour les droits civils, aux États-Unis: "I know one thing we did right/Was the day we started to fight/Keep your eyes on the prize/Hold on, hold on" ("je sais que l'on a eu raison d'entamer la lutte, ne perdez jamais votre objectif de vue, tenez bon, tenez bon"). Cette phrase symbolise la lutte menée par le mouvement pour les droits civils en Amérique et figure dans de nombreux titres de livres et de films. On l'utilise également dans toute situation où des gens luttent pour l'obtention de droits civils, quel que soit le pays. En anglais américain, on utilise aussi cette expression de façon allusive lorsque quelqu'un doit se concentrer sur l'objectif à atteindre; on dira par exemple this year the Pistons need to keep their eyes firmly on the prize of the championship ("cette année les Pistons doivent faire tout leur possible pour gagner le championnat").

English-French dictionary > eye
13 The human body

When it is clear who owns the part of the body mentioned, French tends to use the definite article where English uses a possessive adjective:

he raised his hand

= il a levé la main

she closed her eyes

= elle a fermé les yeux

Note, for instance, the use of la and mon here:

she ran her hand over my forehead

= elle a passé la main sur mon front

For expressions such as he hurt his foot or she hit her head on the beam, where the owner of the body part is the subject of the verb, i.e. the person doing the action, use a reflexive verb in French:

she has broken her leg

= elle s’est cassé la jambe

( literally she has broken to herself the leg - there is no past participle agreement because the preceding reflexive pronoun se is the indirect object).

he was rubbing his hands

= il se frottait les mains

she was holding her head

= elle se tenait la tête

Note also the following:

she broke his leg

= elle lui a cassé la jambe

( literally she broke to him the leg)

the stone split his lip

= le caillou lui a fendu la lèvre

( literally the stone split to him the lip)

Describing people

For ways of saying how tall someone is ⇒ Length measurement ; of stating someone’s weight ⇒ Weight measurement ; and of talking about the colour of hair and eyes ⇒ Colours.

Here are some ways of describing people in French:

his hair is long

= il a les cheveux longs

he has long hair

= il a les cheveux longs

a boy with long hair

= un garçon aux cheveux longs

a long-haired boy

= un garçon aux cheveux longs

the boy with long hair

= le garçon aux cheveux longs

her eyes are blue

= elle a les yeux bleus

she has blue eyes

= elle a les yeux bleus

she is blue-eyed

= elle a les yeux bleus

the girl with blue eyes

= la fille aux yeux bleus

a blue-eyed girl

= une fille aux yeux bleus

his nose is red

= il a le nez rouge

he has a red nose

= il a le nez rouge

a man with a red nose

= un homme au nez rouge

a red-nosed man

= un homme au nez rouge

When referring to a temporary state, the following phrases are useful:

his leg is broken

= il a la jambe cassée

the man with the broken leg

= l’homme à la jambe cassée

but note

a man with a broken leg

= un homme avec une jambe cassée

mourner when two ride on one horse one must sit behind where bees are, there is honey where it is weakest, there the thread breaks who seeks what he should not finds what he would not why keep a dog and bark yourself? a wonder lasts but nine days the worth of a thing is best known by its want the world is a ladder for some to go up and some down would you persuade, speak of interest, not of reason you buy land, you buy stones; you buy meat, you buy bones you can take a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink you can tell the day by the morning you cannot lose what you never had you cannot touch pitch and not be defiled you can't put new wine in old bottles you can't walk and look at the stars if you have a stone in your shoe your looking glass will tell you what none of your friends will zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse
