ⓘ Are you sitting comfortably? (Then I'll begin) Cette expression ("Êtes-vous assis confortablement? Je peux donc commencer") est la formule d'introduction classique que l'on prononce avant de raconter une histoire à des enfants. Le narrateur de l'émission de radio britannique Listen with Mother l'employait systématiquement avant chaque récit. Aujourd'hui, cette expression témoigne d'une attitude quelque peu condescendante de la part de celui qui l'emploie. On l'utilise lorsqu'on veut capter l'attention de personnes inattentives ou bien sur le mode humoristique avant un discours.

• that dress just isn't you — ese vestido no te sienta bien

• poor you!, poor old you!, you poor old thing! — ¡pobrecito!
YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural.

But this, as Olga now troubled to make clear to me, was exactly where the shoe pinched and the rub was. (Th. Dreiser, ‘A Gallery of Women’, ‘Albertina’) — Ольга взволнованно старалась объяснить мне, что беда ее семейной жизни заключается в равнодушии к ней Фила.

‘...but I ain't so far gone as to put up with the sight of you sitting in Captain Brierly's chair...’ ‘You would like to sit in it yourself - that's where the shoe pinches,’ he sneers. (J. Conrad, ‘Lord Jim’, ch. VI) — -...не могу выносить, что вы сидите в кресле капитана Брайерли... - Вам самому хотелось бы сидеть в этом кресле - вот где собака зарыта! - огрызнулся капитан Марлоу.
