Traduction de «just pretty poor » (Anglais → Français) :

Mr. Richard M. Harris (Prince George—Bulkley Valley, Ref.): If I could just make a comment on this one, I remember the last couple of travelling shows we went on, there were times when there were three members from the Standing Committee on Finance present, and in my opinion it presented a pretty poor showing for those witnesses who came to make presentations before us that they felt were really important.
M. Richard Harris (Prince George—Bulkley Valley, Réf.): J'aimerais faire un commentaire. Il est arrivé à l'occasion, lors de nos derniers voyages, que trois membres du Comité permanent des finances assistent aux réunions.

– Mr President, when you look at the gallery of candidates that were there before us today, I think most people across the House, regardless of their politics, would have said that some were good, some might have been very, very good, some were bad and some were just pretty poor. Unfortunately, some of them have also not answered all the questions about their past.

Poverty is both economic and social, and the price system does a pretty good job in discriminating against the poor in terms of access to just about everything: Time, health, work, education, hope, dignity, and even honour appear to be available at a price.
La pauvreté est à la fois économique et sociale et le système des prix est ce qui donne lieu en fait à la discrimination contre les pauvres en ce qui concerne l'accès à pratiquement tout: le temps, la santé, le travail, l'éducation, l'espoir, la dignité et même l'honneur semblent être achetables.

In fact, they are pretty poor and many of them have just taken the first step on the way to development.
En réalité, ils sont relativement pauvres, et beaucoup d’entre eux viennent à peine de prendre la voie du développement.

This expression and the very word ‘terrorism’ were in fact pretty poor choices to describe an obvious fact, namely that the policy conducted by what we agree to call ‘the international community’, that is, of course, the United States and its accomplices, the imperial powers, is increasingly fiercely contested throughout the world, so that we end up, as do all empires in fact, giving the label ‘terrorism’ to something that could just as well be called resistance; Mr Krivine illustrated this point very well earlier.
Cette formule et le mot même de terrorisme sont en effet fort mal choisis pour désigner une évidence, à savoir que la politique que mène ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler "la communauté internationale", c'est-à-dire en clair les États-Unis et la Camera impériale que forment ses affidés, est contestée de plus en plus violemment à travers le monde, en sorte que nous sommes conduits, comme le font tous les empires d'ailleurs, à nommer "terrorisme" ce qui pourrait aussi bien s'appeler de la résistance ; mon collègue Krivine l'a fort bien dit tout à l'heure.
