Hello, dear Friends!
Voici notre nouvelle version. Le texte est assez facile à comprendre, et l'exercice de traduction consistera cette fois à trouver le bon ton. Je suis sûre que vous allez le faire avec brio.
Translate into French:
Once upon a time, in the City of New York, a beautiful baby boy was born into this world, and the joyful parents named him Lexington.
No sooner had the mother returned home from the hospital carrying Lexington in her arms than she said to her husband: «Darling, now you must take me out to a most marvellous restaurant for dinner so that we can celebrate the arrival of our son and heir.»
Her husband embraced her tenderly and told her that any woman who could produce such a beautiful child as Lexington deserved to go absolutely anywhere she wanted. But was she strong enough yet, he inquired, to start running around the city late at night?
«No,» she said, she wasn’t. But what the hell.
So that evening they both dressed themselves up in fancy clothes, and leaving little Lexington in care of a trained infant’s nurse who was costing them twenty dollars a day and was Scottish into the bargain, they went out to the finest and most expensive restaurant in town. There they each ate a giant lobster and drank a bottle of champagne between them, and after that, they went on to a nightclub, where they drank another bottle of champagne, and then sat holding hands for several hours while they recalled and discussed and admired each individual physical feature of their lovely newborn son.
They arrived back at their house on the East Side of Manhattan at around two o’clock in the morning and the husband paid off the taxi driver and then began feeling in his pockets for the key to the front door. After a while, he announced that he must have left it in the pocket of his other suit, and he suggested they ring the bell and get the nurse to come down and let them in.

Il était une fois, dans la ville de New York, un beau petit garçon qui vint au monde et que les joyeux parents appelèrent Lexington.
À peine rentrée de l'hôpital avec Lexington dans les bras, la mère dit à son mari : "Chéri, il faut maintenant que tu m'emmènes dîner dans un merveilleux restaurant pour fêter l'arrivée de notre fils et héritier".
Son mari l'embrassa tendrement et lui dit que n'importe quelle femme capable de mettre au monde un aussi bel enfant que Lexington méritait d'aller absolument où elle voulait. Mais était-elle encore assez forte, lui demanda-t-il, pour commencer à courir dans la ville tard le soir?
"Non, répondit-elle, elle ne l'était pas. Mais qu'importe.
Ce soir-là, ils s'habillèrent tous les deux de façon élégante et laissèrent le petit Lexington aux soins d'une nourrice qualifiée qui leur coûta vingt dollars par jour et qui était écossaise par dessus le marché, et ils sortirent pour aller dans le restaurant le plus raffiné et le plus cher de la ville. Ils y ont mangé chacun une langouste géante et bu une bouteille de champagne à eux deux, après ça ils sont allés dans une boîte de nuit, où ils ont bu une autre bouteille de champagne, puis ils restèrent assis plusieurs heures en se tenant les mains pendant qu'ils discutaient, évoquant, et admirant chaque caractéristique physique de leur adorable fils nouveau-né.
Ils revinrent à leur maison dans le Sud Est de Manhattan vers deux heures du matin et le mari paya le chauffeur de taxi, puis a commencé à fouiller dans ses poches pour trouver la clé de la porte d'entrée. Au bout d'un moment, il annonça qu'il avait dû la laisser dans la poche de son autre costume, et il suggéra de sonner pour que la nurse descende et les fasse entrer.

Il était une fois, dans la ville de New-York, un magnifique petit garçon qui vint au monde, et que ses heureux parents appelèrent Lexiton.
A peine rentrée de l'hopital avec Lexiton dans les bras, la mère dit à son mari:"Chéri, maintenant il faut que tu m'emmènes dîner dans un merveilleux restaurant afin de célèbrer l'arrivée de notre fils et héritier".
Son mari la prit tendrement dans ses bras et lui dit que toute femme capable de mettre au monde un aussi bel enfant que Lexiton méritait d'aller absolument partout où elle voulait. Mais était -elle déjà assez forte, lui demanda-t-il, pour commencer à courir en ville tard le soir?
"Non, dit-elle, mais qu'importe!
Aussi, ce soir là, ils s'habillèrent tous les deux élégament, et laissèrent leur petit Lexiton aux soins d'une nourrice diplômée qui leur coûtait 20 dollars par jour et était écossaise par surcroit. Ils allèrent dans le restaurant le plus raffiné et le plus cher de la ville. Ils mangèrent chacun un homard géant et burent une bouteille de champagne à eux deux, et après ça ils allèrent en boîte de nuit où ils burent une autre boutelle de champagne, puis s'assirent en se tenant les mains pendant plusieurs heures et en se remémorant, discutant et admirant chaque trait physique de leur adorable nouveau -né.
Ils revinrent à leur domicile, du côté est de Manhattan vers deux heures du matin, et le mari régla le chauffeur de taxi puis commença à palper dans sa poche pour trouver les clefs de la porte d'entrée. Après un moment , il annonça qu'il avait dù les laisser dans la poche de son autre costume,et ils suggéra de sonner et demander à la nourrice de descendre et de les laisser entrer.

Il était une fois un beau petit garcon qui vint au monde dans la ville de New-York et que ses heureux parents appelèrent Lexington. A peine la mère fut elle rentrée de l’hôpital, portant Lexington dans les bras, qu’elle dit à son mari
“Chéri, maintenant, tu dois m’emmener dans le plus merveilleux restaurant pour célébrer la naissance de notre fils et héritier” Son mari l’enlaça tendrement et lui dit que n’importe quelle femme ayant mis au monde un aussi bel enfant que Lexington, méritait d’aller absolument là où elle le voulait. Mais, se sentait-elle vraiment assez en forme, demanda-t-il, pour courir toute la ville tard la nuit ? “Non”, dit-elle pas du tout mais au diable tout ça !” Alors, ce soir là ils se mirent sur leur trente et un et confièrent le petit Lexington aux bons soins d’une nurse qualifiée qui coutait 20 dollars par jour et qui, par-dessus le marché était écossaise, et ils partirent pour le restaurant le meilleur et le plus cher de la ville. Là, chacun mangea un homard géant et ils burent une bouteille de champagne à eux deux, puis après ça, ils allèrent dans une boite de nuit où ils burent une autre bouteille de champagne et ils restèrent là à se tenir la main pendant plusieurs heureset à se remémorer, à examiner et à admirer chaque caractéristique des traits de leur nouveau-né chéri. Ils rentrèrent dans leur maison de l’est de Manhattan aux environs de deux heures du matin, le mari paya le chauffeur de taxi et chercha dans ses poches la clé de la porte d’entrée. Un instant après il dit qu’il devait l’avoir laissée dans la poche de son autre costume et proposa de sonner pour que la nurse descende leur ouvrir.
