9 Les mesures de longueur

Les unités

Le système métrique est de plus en plus utilisé en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis pour les mesures de longueur. Mais les anciennes mesures ont encore cours, et sont quelquefois préférées, notamment pour les distances, exprimées en miles, et non en kilomètres. Les commerçants utilisent en général les deux systèmes.

Équivalences

1 inch = 2,54 cm

1 foot = 12 inches = 30,48 cm

1 yard = 3 feet = 91,44 cm

1 furlong = 220 yards = 201,17 m

1 mile = 1760 yards = 1,61 km

Pour la prononciation des nombres, voir ⇒ Les nombres.

dire dire

one millimetre 1 mm 0.04 in* inches

one centimetre 1 cm 0.39 in

one metre 1 m 39.37 ins

3.28 ft feet†

1.09 yds yards

one kilometre 1 km 1094 yds

0.62 ml miles

* Le symbole de inch est ": 4 inches = 4".

† Le symbole de foot et feet est ': 5 feet 4 inches = 5' 4".

Pour l’écriture, noter:

- on écrit -metre en anglais britannique, mais -meter en anglais américain;

- pour le système métrique, les abréviations sont les mêmes en anglais qu’en français;

- l’anglais utilise un point là où le français a une virgule.

il y a 100 centimètres dans un mètre

= there are 100 centimetres in one metre

il y a douze pouces dans un pied

= there are twelve inches in one foot

il y a trois pieds dans un yard

= there are three feet in one yard

quelle distance y a-t-il entre A et B?

= what’s the distance from A to B? ou how far is it from A to B?

à quelle distance de l’église se trouve l’école?

la distance est de 2 km

La hauteur

La taille des personnes

combien mesure-t-il?

= how tall is he? ou (si l’on veut obtenir un chiffre précis) what is his height?

En anglais, la taille des personnes est donnée en pieds (feet) et en pouces (inches), jamais en yards. En gros, 1,50 m = cinq pieds, et 1,80 m = six pieds.

il mesure 1,80 m

= he is 6 feet tall ou he is 6 feet ou he is 1.80 m

il mesure 1,75 m

= he is 5 feet 10 inches ou he is 5 feet 10 ou he is 1.75 m

Dans la conversation courante, on utilise souvent foot au lieu de feet: on peut donc dire: he is 5 foot 10 inches ou 5 foot 10.

à peu près 1,80 m

= about 6 ft

presque 1,80 m

= almost 6 ft

plus de 1,75 m

La largeur

L’anglais dispose de deux mots pour la largeur: wide mesure la distance entre deux limites (a wide valley; le nom est width), alors que broad décrit ce qui remplit un espace d’une certaine largeur (a broad avenue; le nom est breadth).

Les expressions suivantes utilisent wide et width, mais broad et breadth s’emploient de la même façon.

= A is deeper than B

B est moins profond que A

= B is shallower* than A

A est aussi profond que B

= A is as deep as B

A et B ont la même profondeur
