Jennie et Cristal - Leçons Françaises
Jan. 7th, 2007 08:17 pmDisclaimer: The French sentences might not be the actual way to say stuff. We don't know French, sorry. Enjoy anyway. :)
Jennie and Crystal have a lesson in what they really need to know how to say in French.
"Ouh là! C'est un vache de beau mec! J'aime une mec avec un derrière le plus fantistique...Dude, Crystal, are you even paying attention to me?" Jennie looked up over at her roommate with her eyebrows raised. One of the things Crystal was working on was teaching Jennie conversational French. It did help when the other party wasn't distracted, though.
"Yes, I am paying attention to you," Crystal said, with a slight roll of her eyes. "You are captivated by men with attractive posteriors. Now, what does this mean: 'La jeune femme ne prend pas sa leçon Française sérieusement'?"
"I am totally taking this seriously! It's just something I would say if I was in France. Which I did, come to think of it. Hot guys in Paris, but they believe that smoking and cologne will cover B.O." Jennie wrinkled her nose at the memory, and resumed pacing. "Je voudrais continuer d'apprendre le français, s'il te plaît."
Crystal raised an eyebrow. "Well, then. Perhaps I should be making sure you know how to say all of the important things." She grinned slightly. "You should teach these hot guys the error of the ways and inform them 'Votre odeur de corps me dégoûte. Je vous trouve repuoussant'."
"Your body odor disgusts me and I find you ...repulsive?" Jennie grinned. "Now that's usable. Especially around here after the guys get done with PE." Jennie stuck her tongue out. "What about you, Crystal? Any les beaux garçons, être ici?"
"You tell me, Jennie. You were the one who let someone buy you a drink at Silver and then danced with him." Crystal looked amused. "At least you did not describe him as a 'cinnamon sundae pixie'. Can you tell me how to say 'Kyle danced with an adorable, bite-sized cinnamon sundae pixie' in French?"
Jennie shrugged. At least she hadn't done more than dance with the guy, those days were over. "Ummm, lemme see, Kyle a dansé avec un lutin ....uh, adorable et morsure-classé de ....um..um..." She hopped up and down, trying to remember the word. "AH! parfait de cannelle."
Crystal giggled as Jennie did what amounted to a little dance while talking about Kyle dancing with a bite-sized pixie. "Fantastique!" Crystal preferred to remain still while engaged in lessons, both when she was the one learning or the one teaching, but Jennie seemed to prefer constant movement around the room.
"Yay pour moi!" Jennie held her arms up in triumph. A teacher had once described Jennie as a sea anemone, constantly swaying or in motion even when she was supposed to be still. "Merci beacoup, professeur."
"Avec plaisir."
Translations:
"Wow! That's a damn fine lookin' man, I like a man with a nice butt."
"The young woman is not taking her French lesson seriously."
"I wish to continue my education in the French language, please."
"Your body odor disgusts me. I find you repulsive.
"Any cute guys around here?"
"Kyle danced with an adorable, bite-sized cinnamon sundae pixie."
"(Yay) for me! Thank you very much, professor."
"With pleasure."
