26 La date
Les noms de mois et les noms de jours prennent toujours une majuscule en anglais; pour les abréviations des noms de mois et de jours fréquemment utilisées en anglais ⇒ Les mois de l'année et ⇒ Les jours de la semaine.En anglais parlé, on utilise presque toujours le nombre ordinal (par ex. fifth et non five) pour indiquer le jour du mois; pour les abréviations des nombres ordinaux ⇒ Les nombres.En anglais, il y a quatre façons d’écrire la date, et trois façons de la dire: ces options sont toutes indiquées pour la première date du tableau suivant. Pour écrire la date, les deux premières façons (May 1st ou May 1) sont acceptées dans tous les pays anglophones. Dans le tableau on utilisera indifféremment l’une ou l’autre de ces deux formes.Pour dire la date, la première des formes données (May the first) est acceptée partout,et c’est cette forme qu’on utilisera dans le tableau. Les deux autres ne sont pas aussi répandues.* L’anglais britannique, comme le français, place le chiffre du jour avant celui du mois; l’anglais américain commence par le chiffre du mois.† AD signifie anno domini (l’année de notre Seigneur).‡ BC signifie before Christ ( avant Jésus-Christ).§ Noter que l’anglais utilise les chiffres arabes pour les siècles.Quel jour?le combien sommes-nous aujourd’hui?= what’s the date today?nous sommes le 10= it’s the tenthnous sommes le lundi 10= it’s Monday 10th ( dire Monday the tenth)nous sommes le 10 mai= it’s May 10 ( dire it’s the tenth of May)Pour indiquer la date à laquelle il s’est passéou se passera quelque chose, l’anglais utilise normalement la préposition on devant le quantième du mois.on se voit le 10= see you on the 10thc’est arrivé le 10= it happened on the 10thc’est arrivé le 10 décembre= it happened on 10th December ( dire the tenth of December)le 10 de chaque mois= on the 10th of every monthL’anglais emploie on même en début de phrase.le lundi 5 mai, il atteignit Tombouctou= on Monday May 5, he reached TimbuktuMais on peut aussi utiliser d’autres prépositions:à partir du 10= from the 10th onwardsjusqu’au 10= till ou until the 10thattendez le 10= wait till the 10thavant le 10 mai= before May 10 ( dire before May the tenth)aux environs du 10 mai= around 10 May ( dire around the tenth of May)du 10 au 16 mai= from 10th to 16th May (GB) ( dire from the tenth to the sixteenth of May) ou from 10th through 16th May (US) ( dire from the tenth through the sixteenth of May)Devant les noms de mois et les chiffres des années et des siècles, l’anglais utilise normalement in.en mai= in Mayje suis né en mai 1914= I was born in May 1914en 1945= in 1945il est mort en 1616= he died in 1616Shakespeare (1564-1616)= Shakespeare (1564-1616) ( dire Shakespeare fifteen sixty-four to sixteen sixteen) ou Shakespeare, b. 1564-d. 1616 ( dire Shakespeare born in fifteen sixty-four and died in sixteen sixteen)la révolution de 1789= the 1789 revolutionles émeutes de 68= the riots of ‘68 ( dire of sixty-eight)en mai 45= in May ‘45 ( dire in May forty-five)dans les années 50= in the fifties ou in the 1950s ( dire in the nineteen fifties)au début des années 50= in the early fiftiesà la fin des années 50= in the late fiftiesau XVIIe siècle= in the 17th century ( dire in the seventeenth century)au début du XIIe siècle= in the early twelfth centuryà la fin du XIIe siècle= in the late twelfth centuryLe mot century ne peut pas être omis en anglais:à partir du XIIe= from the 12th century onwards ( dire from the twelfth century onwards)les romanciers du XIXe= 19th-century novelists ( dire nineteenth century novelists) -

40 Date
Where English has several ways of writing dates, such as May 10, 10 May, 10th May etc. French has only one generally accepted way: le 10 mai, ( say le dix mai). However, as in English, dates in French may be written informally: 10.5.68 or 31/7/65 etc.The general pattern in French is:le cardinal number month yearle 10 mai 1901But if the date is the first of the month, use premier, abbreviated as 1er:May 1st 1901= le 1er mai 1901Note that French does not use capital letters for months, or for days of the week ⇒ The months of the year and ⇒ The days of the week ; also French does not usually abbreviate the names of the months:Sept 10= le 10 septembre etc.If the day of the week is included, put it after the le:Monday, May 1st 1901= le lundi 1er mai 1901Monday the 25th= lundi 25 ( say lundi vingt-cinq)Saying and writing dateswhat’s the date?= quel jour sommes-nous?it’s the tenth= nous sommes le dix or (less formally) on est le dixit’s the tenth of May= nous sommes le dix mai or (less formally) on est le dix mai* (i) There are two ways of saying hundreds and thousands in dates:1968= mille neuf cent soixante-huit or dix-neuf cent soixante-huit(ii) The spelling mil is used in legal French, otherwise mille is used in dates, except when a round number of thousands is involved, in which case the words l’an are added:1900= mille neuf cents2000= l’an deux mille† French prefers Roman numerals for centuries:the 16th century= le XVIeSaying onFrench uses only the definite article, without any word for on:it happened on 6th March= c’est arrivé le 6 mars ( say le six mars)he came on the 21st= il est arrivé le 21 ( say le vingt et un)see you on the 6th= on se voit le 6 ( say le six)on the 2nd of every month= le 2 de chaque mois ( say le deux...)he’ll be here on the 3rd= il sera là le 3 ( say le trois)Saying inFrench normally uses en for years but prefers en l’an for out-of-the-ordinary dates:in 1968= en 1968 ( say en mille neuf cent soixante-huit or en dix-neuf cent…)in 1896= en 1896 ( say en mille huit cent quatre-vingt-seize or en dix-huit cent…)in the year 2000= en l’an deux millein AD 27= en l’an 27 ( say l’an vingt-sept) de notre èrein 132 BC= en l’an 132 ( say l’an cent trente-deux) avant Jésus-ChristWith names of months, in is translated by en or au mois de:in May 1970= en mai mille neuf cent soixante-dix or au mois de mai mille neuf cent soixante-dixWith centuries, French uses au:in the seventeenth century= au dix-septième siècleThe word siècle is often omitted in colloquial French:in the eighteenth century= au dix-huitième siècle or (less formally) au dix-huitièmeNote also:in the early 12th century= au début du XIIe siècle ( say du douzième siècle)in the late 14th century= à or vers la fin du XIVe siècle ( say du quatorzième siècle)PhrasesRemember that the date in French always has the definite article, so, in combined forms, au and du are required:from the 10th onwards= à partir du 10 ( say du dix)stay until the 14th= reste jusqu’au 14 ( say au quatorze)from 21st to 30th May= du 21 au 30 mai ( say du vingt et un au trente mai)around 16th May= le 16 mai environ/vers le 16 mai ( say le seize mai) or aux environs du seize mai ( say du seize mai)not until 1999= pas avant 1999 ( say mille neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf)Shakespeare (1564-1616)= Shakespeare (1564-1616) ( say Shakespeare, quinze cent soixante-quatre-seize cent seize)Shakespeare b. 1564 d.1616= Shakespeare, né en 1564, mort en 1616 ( say Shakespeare, né en quinze cent soixante-quatre, mort en seize cent seize).Note that French has no abbreviations for né and mort.in May ’45= en mai 45 ( say en mai quarante-cinq)in the 1980s= dans les années 80 ( say dans les années quatre-vingts)in the early sixties= au début des années 60 ( say des années soixante)in the late seventies= à la fin des années 70 ( say des années soixante-dix)the riots of ’68= les émeutes de 68 ( say de soixante-huit)the 14-18 war= la guerre de 14 or de 14-18 ( say de quatorze or de quatorze-dix-huit)the 1912 uprising= le soulèvement de 1912 ( say de mille neuf cent douze)
