14 Les mesures de longueur
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.Équivalences1 inch = 2,54 cm1 foot = 12 inches = 30,48 cm1 yard = 3 feet = 91,44 cm1 furlong = 220 yards = 201,17 m1 mile = 1760 yards = 1,61 kmPour la prononciation des nombres, voir ⇒ Les nombres.dire direone millimetre 1 mm 0.04 in* inchesone centimetre 1 cm 0.39 inone metre 1 m 39.37 ins3.28 ft feet†1.09 yds yardsone kilometre 1 km 1094 yds0.62 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 metreil y a douze pouces dans un pied= there are twelve inches in one footil y a trois pieds dans un yard= there are three feet in one yardLa distancequelle 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?= how far is the school from the church?il y a 2 km= it is 2 kilometresil y a environ 2 km= it is about 2 kilometresla distance est de 2 km= the distance is 2 kilometresil y a 2 km entre A et B= it is 2 kilometres from A to BA est à 2 km de B= A is 2 kilometres from B(Noter l’absence d’équivalent anglais de la préposition française à avant le chiffre dans le dernier exemple.)à peu près 2 km= about 2 kilometrespresque 3 km= almost 3 kilometresplus de 2 km= more than 2 kilometres ou over 2 kilometresmoins de 3 km= less than 3 kilometres ou under 3 kilometresA est plus loin de B que C de D= it is further from A to B than from C to D ou A is further away from B than C is from DC est plus près de B que A= C is nearer to B than A isA est plus près de B que de C= A is nearer to B than to CA est aussi loin que B= A is as far away as BA et B sont à la même distance= A and B are the same distance awayNoter l’ordre des mots dans l’adjectif composé anglais, et l’utilisation du trait d’union.

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 mil mesure 1,75 m= he is 5 feet 10 inches ou he is 5 feet 10 ou he is 1.75 mDans 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 ftpresque 1,80 m= almost 6 ftplus de 1,75 m= more than 5 ft 10 insmoins de 1,85 m= less than 6 ft 3 insPierre est plus grand que Paul= Pierre is taller than PaulPaul est plus petit que Pierre= Paul is smaller than Pierre ou Paul is shorter than PierrePierre est aussi grand que Paul= Pierre is as tall as PaulPierre a la même taille que Paul= Pierre is the same height as PaulPierre et Paul ont la même taille= Pierre and Paul are the same heightNoter l’ordre des mots dans l’adjectif composé anglais, et l’utilisation du trait d’union.

Noter aussi que metre, employé comme adjectif, ne prend pas la marque du pluriel.une rivière de 7 m de large= a seven-metre-wide riverOn peut aussi dire: a river seven metres wide. De même, a ditch two metres wide, a piece of cloth two metres in width, etc.La profondeurquelle est la profondeur du lac?= how deep is the lake ou what depth is the lake? ou what is the depth of the lake?il fait 4 m= it is 4 metres deepil fait 4 m de profondeur= it is 4 metres in depthil fait environ 4 m de profondeur= it is about 4 metres deepun lac de 4 mètres de profondeur= a lake four metres deep ou a lake four metres in depthNoter l’absence d’équivalent anglais de la préposition française de avant le chiffre dans les expressions de ce genre. Mais:à une profondeur de dix mètres= at a depth of ten metresA est plus profond que B= A is deeper than BB est moins profond que A= B is shallower* than AA est aussi profond que B= A is as deep as BA et B ont la même profondeur= A and B are the same depthA a la même profondeur que B= A is the same depth as Bun puits de 7 m de profondeur= a well seven metres deep* Noter que l’adjectif shallow (peu profond) n’a pas d’équivalent simple en français. -
