Le yachting
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Quel temps !
Le vent souffle comme un phoque.
Le yacht danse.
Il a l'air d'un petit fou.
La mer est démontée.
Pourvu qu'elle ne se brise pas sur un rocher.
Personne ne peut la remonter.
"Je ne veux pas rester ici," dit la jolie passagère.
"Ce n'est pas un endroit amusant.
J'aime mieux autre chose.
Allez me chercher une voiture."

Yachting
Language: English  after the French (Français)
What weather!
The wind is blowing like a seal.
The yacht is dancing.
It looks a little crazy1.
The sea is stormy.
Provided it doesn’t break up on the rocks.
No one can launch.
“I don’t want to stay here,” says the pretty passenger.
“This isn’t an amusing scene.
I’d prefer to do something else.
Go get me a car.”
