3 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.
