Traduction de «all my friends had left town » (Anglais → Français) :

One day he went there and found the sheriff had actually seized the feedlot and all of the contents therein, including the cattle my friend had bought.
Un jour, lorsqu'il s'est présenté au parc d'engraissement, il a constaté que le shérif avait saisi le parc et son contenu, y compris les bêtes que mon ami y avait amenées.

I was surprised when I was in Europe and a delegation from China was visiting that my friend had to go off because they all know each other and there is a certain family part of this.
À un moment donné, en Europe, il y avait une délégation venue de Chine; j'ai été étonné de voir que mon ami devait prendre congé de moi pour aller les voir, parce qu'ils se connaissent tous et qu'il y a un certain aspect familial à tout cela.

Nevertheless, when he answered my question, he clearly tried to impugn my integrity when he attempted to suggest that businesses, non-profit organizations and all the cities and towns in my riding had received money under the summer career placement program because they are friends of mine.
Néanmoins, lorsqu'il a répondu à ma question, c'est clair qu'il a essayé de nuire à mon intégrité lorsqu'il a tenté de dire et suggéré qu'en ce qui concerne le programme Placement carrière-été, les entreprises, les organismes sans but lucratif et également toutes les villes et tous les villages de ma circonscription auraient reçu de l'argent parce qu'ils sont mes petits amis.

apologize for my English pronunciation, but I must read this poem in the language in which it was written by its author. In reference to those events, including his arrest, Mr. Godin wrote: [English] They followed me, they taped me They spied on me, they tripped me They broke in on me, they fell down on me They hooked me, they trapped me They arrested me without a warrant without a reason, without a word, without a look and they frisked my brain They jailed me, they banned me, they exiled me They laughed at me, they tried to destroy me And there was a big silence around here then There was a sort of continental silence All my friends had left town None of the usual talkers could find his words or his breath None of the usual writers could find his pen or his ink But still I am here tonight and I'm gonna be here for a long long time decades and decades after they'll have disappeared from here I'll be hanging around looking for justice, looking for peace looking after my brothers and sisters [Translation] This is what Mr. Godin wrote following the October 1970 events, and I think we should all reflect on these words.
[Anglais] They followed me, they taped me They spied on me, they tripped me They broke in on me, they fell down on me They hooked me, they trapped me They arrested me without a warrant without a reason, without a word, without a look and they frisked my brain They jailed me, they banned me, they exiled me They laughed at me, they tried to destroy me And there was a big silence around here then There was a sort of continental silence All my friends had left town None of the usual talkers could find his words or his breath None of the usual writers could find his pen or his ink But still I am here tonight and I'm gonna be here for a long long time decades and decades after they'll have disappeared from here I'll be hanging around looking for justice, looking for peace looking after my brothers and sisters [Français] Voilà ce que M. Godin disait, suite aux événements de 1970, ce qui devrait faire réfléchir l'ensemble de cette Chambre.

I want to say a word of thanks to the outgoing government. We had a good and constructive cooperation and I would like particularly to thank my friend Janos Martonyi with whom I had very close friendship.
J'aimerais adresser quelques mots de remerciement au gouvernement sortant pour l'esprit constructif qui a présidé à notre collaboration, et tout particulièrement à Janos Martonyi, avec qui j'ai noué des liens d'amitié très étroits.

– (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, my friends and colleagues of the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left nominated me as a candidate as this is an extension of my work as the Group's chairman.
- Monsieur le Président, chers collègues, mes collègues et amis de la gauche unitaire européenne, gauche verte nordique ont proposé ma candidature dans le prolongement de mon engagement comme président du groupe.

Because the excellent amendments by my friend Mr Borghezio, who is sitting here beside me, were not passed. They were aimed at limiting immigration to stop the kind of thing that happened to me in Brussels: I had barely stuck my nose outside Parliament when some people who looked like immigrants snatched my MEP’s diary from me; I am still looking for it and I have not yet found it.
Parce que l'on n'a pas approuvé les excellents amendements de mon ami M. Borghezio, qui est ici à côté de moi, lesquels voulaient limiter l'immigration afin qu'il n'arrive pas ce qui m'est arrivé à moi, à Bruxelles, où quelques types qui semblaient des immigrés m'ont volé, en deux temps, trois mouvements, mon agenda de député européen, alors même que je sortais du Parlement. Je cherche encore mon agenda et je ne l'ai pas trouvé jusqu'à présent.

It is no secret that I am a member of a left-wing government, a left-wing coalition, and I belong to a political party, the Socialist Party, and as such, it is true – forgive me, Mr President – I frequently have the opportunity to meet my friends on the left wing in this House. I have noted that these people are ones most ready and, for the moment, the only ones to discuss the Tobin tax. In many respects I feel sympathetic to their ideas, but the fact is that in this place, now and every time I address you, I have to represent the Council during Question Time.
Il n'y a pas de secret : j'appartiens à un gouvernement qui est un gouvernement de gauche, la gauche plurielle ; j'appartiens à un parti politique, le parti socialiste et, à ce titre, c'est vrai, pardonnez-moi, Monsieur le Président, j'ai souvent l'occasion de rencontrer des amis qui siègent à gauche de cette Assemblée et dont je constate, effectivement, qu'ils sont les plus nombreux, et pour l'instant les seuls d'ailleurs, à parler de la taxe Tobin. Je me sens effectivement en sympathie avec eux à bien des égards, mais il se fait qu'ici, maintenant, et chaque fois que je serai là, je représente le Conseil à l'Heure des questions.

But that also means – and I must get this off my chest – that all those Members who criticised me last time because I had levelled criticism at them, must have left the Chamber before 12.00 (The last vote was held after 12.00.) That was very hurtful because, unfortunately, the activists, comprising pro-Europeans from my own country and a large number of anti-Europeans, had left by the time the roll-call vote was held.
Néanmoins, ceci signifie également, et je tiens à le souligner, que tous les collègues qui m’ont critiquée la dernière fois, car j’avais eu une attitude critique à leur égard, n’auraient pas dû quitter la salle avant 12 heures, alors que le dernier vote avait justement lieu après 12 heures. Cette attitude m’a profondément blessée, car, lors du vote par appel nominal, les initiateurs, les pro-européens de mon propre pays, mais également un grand nombre d’anti-européens n’étaient malheureusement plus présents.
