Hello dears,
Voici la suite de notre rencontre avec le Bébé qui sera nommé 'Turtle'.
Ce texte dérangeant n'est pas difficile à comprendre. Il ne sera délicat à traduire qu'en imitant
le style, la langue employée... et ce n'est pas facile...
Courage ! je sais que vous n'en manquez pas.
Translate into French.
'The Budweiser sign blinked on and off, on and off, throwing a faint light that made the whites
of their eyes look orange.
‘Is this your kid ?’
‘She shook her head. My dead sister’s.’
‘Are you saying you want to give me this child?’
‘Yes.’
‘If I wanted a baby I would have stayed in Kentucky,’ I informed her. ‘I could have had babies
coming out my ears by now.’
A man came out of the bar, gray hat or brown hat I couldn’t tell because my car was parked some
distance from the door. He got into a pickup truck but didn’t start the ignition or turn on the
lights.
‘Is that your man in there, in the bar?’ I asked her.
‘Don’t go back in there. I’m not saying why. Just don’t.’
‘Look,’ I said, ‘even if you wanted to, you can’t just give somebody a kid. You got to have the
papers and stuff. Even a car has papers to prove you didn’t steal it.’
‘This baby’s got no papers. There isn’t nobody knows it’s alive, or cares. Nobody that matters,
like the police or nothing like that. This baby was born in a Plymouth.’
‘Well, it didn’t happen this morning,’ I said. Plymouth or no Plymouth, this child has been around
long enough for somebody to notice.’ I had a foggy understanding that I wasn‘t arguing the right
point. This was getting us nowhere.
She put her hands where the child’s shoulders might be, under all that blanket, and pushed it
gently back into the seat, trying to make it belong there. She looked at it for a long time.
Then she closed the door and walked away.
