A british woman who has filled twice her and her mother's home with relieved hedgehogs says she cannot take in any more.
She has been nursing the spiky animals back to healthy for the past five years.
She said she was currently caring for about 80 hedgehogs and had reached her limit. This follows a spiky in new arrivals due to the hot weather and a mystery illness affecting young hedgehogs.
The woman said her relief operation’s started five years ago when her mother has found a maggot infesting hedgehog and no existing sanctuaries had space. A local vet shew her how to help the animal return to full witness and when she posted about it on social networks, more people began bringing her sick hedgehogs to care for.
Her house is now home to dozens recuperating hogs and hoglets, and she uses her mother's house in a neighbouring village as a makeshift intensive care unit. She said the mystery illness killing young hedgehogs had left her and wildlife experts scratching their heads. "There are lots of tests been carried but it's happening all over the country and in France too," she said. "There aren't many warning signs but it's all hands on deck when it hits. Luckily, we seem to have found a treatment that's working but it's still unknown what's causing it."
Last year a report suggested UK hedgehog numbers had fallen of about 50% since the turning of the century.
Ms Garner, who runs the relief operation by herself but calls the help of volunteers to foster hedgehogs before they'll be relieved back into the wild, said she hoped to move her operation into a rent space in the long term. She insisted she had no problems saying each of her hedgehog patients away. "They've all got their own little look - different colours, sizes. Sometimes it's the way they walk and their little personality shining through. Each one is different."

A british woman who has filled BOTH(2 identiques) her and her mother's home with CURED OR SAVED (sauvés or soignés) hedgehogs says she cannot take in any more.
She has been nursing the spiky animals back to HEALTH(verbe) for the past five years.
She said she was currently caring for about 80 hedgehogs and had reached her limit. This follows a spiky in new arrivals due to the hot weather and a mystery illness affecting young hedgehogs.
The woman said her RESCUE OPERATION(operation de sauvetage) started five years ago when her mother FOUND (daté, preterit) a maggot INFESTED(infesting =infestant hedgehog and no existing sanctuaries had space. A local vet SHOWED(to show montrer,ou SHEWED--(to shew= faire voir,faire connaître) her how to help the animalS(pluriel) return to full Fitness(retrouver la forme, la santé) and when she posted about it on social networks, more people began bringing her sick hedgehogs to care for.

She insisted she had no problems INFORMING OR EXPLAINING each of her hedgehog AT THE DISTANCE or SEPARATELY "They've all got their own little look - different colours, sizes. Sometimes it's the way they walk and their little personality shining through. Each one is different."

Hello everyone!
Désolé de vous faire souffrir sur l'abacus mais le thème me paraît quand même intéressant. Ce qui m'a le plus surpris, c'est qu'en choisissant les mots les plus courts parmi une short list des adjectifs du thème choisi, ceux-ci étaient le plus souvent à connotation négative . Je me demande si ma remarque est pertinente ? Avis des linguistes ?
Merci beaucoup Here4U ! J'ai même trouvé que ces exercices, sans être ultra difficiles, n'étaient pas simples non plus. J'ai hâte d'avoir la réponse

A British woman who has filled both her and her mother's home with needy hedgehogs says she cannot take in any more of them.
She has been nursing the spiky animals back to health for the past five years.
She said she was currently caring for about 80 hedgehogs and had reached her limit. This follows a peak in new arrivals due to the hot weather and a mysterious illness affecting young hedgehogs.
The woman said her rescue operation started five years ago when her mother found a maggot infesting hedgehogs and no existing sanctuaries had space. A local vet showed her how to help the animals return to full wildness and when she posted about it on social networks, more people began bringing their sick hedgehogs to be cared for.
Her house is now home to dozen recuperating hogs and hoglets, and she uses her mother's house in a neighbouring village as a makeshift intensive care unit. She said the mysterious illness killing young hedgehogs had left her and wildlife experts scratching their heads. "There are lots of tests being carried out but it's happening all over the country and in France too," she said. "There aren't many warning signs but it's all hands on deck when it hits. Luckily, we seem to have found a treatment that's working but what's causing it is still unknown."
Last year a report suggested UK hedgehogs number had fallen by about 50% since the turning of the century.
Ms Garner, who runs the rescue operation by herself but calls for the help of volunteers to foster hedgehogs before they are released into the wild, said she hoped to move her operation into a rented space in the long term. She insisted she had no problems telling each of her hedgehog patients apart. "They've all got their own little look - different colours, sizes. Sometimes it's the way they walk and their little personality shining through. Each one is different."

Hello, Dear Friends !
Voici votre correction … Encore une fois, je dois faire appel à des volontaires pour le FOLLOW-UP WORK. Nous en avons besoin de 4 (trois pour le texte et un(e) volontaire pour le texte à trous.)

Woman with house full of hedgehogs says 'no more' : 28 August 2019
A British(1) woman who has filled both(2) her and her mother's home with rescued (3) hedgehogs says she cannot take in any more.
She has been nursing the spiky * animals back to health(4) for the past five years.
She said she was currently caring for about 80 hedgehogs and had reached her limit. This follows a spike(5) in new arrivals due to the hot weather and a mystery illness affecting young hedgehogs.
The woman said her rescue operation started(6) five years ago when her mother found a maggot-infested(7) hedgehog and no existing sanctuaries had space. ///END OF PART 1 /// A local vet showed(8) her how to help the animal return(9) to full fitness(10) and when she posted about it on social networks, more people began bringing her sick hedgehogs to care for.
Her house is now home to dozens of (11) recuperating hogs and hoglets, and she uses her mother's house in a neighbouring village as a makeshift intensive care unit. She said the mystery illness killing young hedgehogs had left her and wildlife experts scratching their heads. "There are lots of tests being(12) carried out(13) but it's happening all over the country and in France too," she said. "There aren't many warning signs but it's all hands on deck when it hits. ///END OF PART 2/// Luckily, we seem to have found a treatment that's working but it's still unknown what's causing it."
Last year a report suggested UK hedgehog numbers had fallen by(14) about 50% since the turn(15) of the century.
The woman, who runs the rescue operation by herself but calls on(16) the help of volunteers to foster hedgehogs before they're (17) released (18) back into the wild, said she hoped to move her operation into a rented(19) space in the long term. She insisted she had no problems telling(20) each of her hedgehog patients apart.(21) "They've all got their own little look - different colours, sizes. Sometimes it's the way they walk and their little personality shining through. Each one is different."
(1) A British woman= a woman from Britain !(Great Britain). Les pays et les nationalités prennent toujours des majuscules (les noms comme les adjectifs.)
(2) BOTH = les deux à la fois= la maison de la dame ET celle de sa mère. Twice= deux fois.
(3) Attention ! Dans le texte, il y a eu confusion constante de la part de my « Poor Student », de plusieurs verbes employés l’un à la place de l’autre : to rescue= secourir ; to relieve (relief) = soulager (le soulagement) ; to release = libérer d’un emprisonnement. Il avait des excuses … Comme je le dis souvent, il y avait quand même au moins trois ou quatre lettres en commun dans ces mots ! Attention au moment de la traduction …
(4) … back to health= to recover from an illness. Health= la santé => healthy = en bonne santé.
(5) * Attention ! ici j’ai joué entre spike= un piquant (de hérisson)=> to be spiky et « spike » = un pic dans la manifestation d’un phénomène … Lien internet
Attention, aussi ... en traduisant !
(6) started five years ago= moment précis et mentionné du passé révolu => prétérit + ago.
(7) a maggot-infested hedgehog= a hedgehog infested by maggots.
(8) To show, I showed, shown = montrer
(9) To help the animal return…/ to help the animal to return…, mais jamais forme en –ing.
(10) To return to full fitness= to return to full health. To be fit=> fitness.
(11) To dozens of recuperating hogs= Ici, « dozens » est un nom et il s’accorde donc. Au contraire, si « dozen » est précédé d’un nombre, il reste invariable (car il est employé comme adjectif).
(12/ 13) Tests being carried out= verbe carry out (réaliser, exécuter) à la forme passive.
(14) Diminuer de 10%= to fall by 10%.
(15) « The turn of the century »= le début du siècle
(16) To call on help= to ask for help.
(17) hedgehogs before they're released= ce que le français exprime avec un subjonctif en français doit être exprimé par un indicatif (mais pas un futur ni un conditionnel) (pas de futur derrière when/ as soon as/ once/ before/ after …)
(18) cf note (3) ici = release…
(19) To rent => rented= louer
(20) no problems telling each of the patients apart… : to tell sb apart= distinguish

Maxwell faisait remarquer que les mots étaient négatifs … « en choisissant les mots les plus courts parmi une short list des adjectifs du thème choisi, ceux-ci étaient le plus souvent à connotation négative . Je me demande si ma remarque est pertinente ? Avis des linguistes ? » (Puis-je me classer dans la catégorie des « linguistes » ??? )
Quelques remarques … Rien ne t’obligeait à te limiter à des adjectifs … Tu pouvais introduire des verbes à l’infinitif et des noms … Ensuite en cherchant un peu, on pouvait trouver à la fois des adjectifs négatifs et d’autres très « positifs » (caring/ good/ sober/ kind/ wise/…) Donc je pense que c’est une question de choix personnel de mots … Dans tous les cas, cet exercice n’était pas facile du tout … Un grand MERCI Maxwell !

Bonjour
Une femme Britannique qui a rempli sa maison et celle de sa mère avec des hérissons secourus dit qu'elle ne peut plus en prendre.
Durant les cinq dernières années,elle a soigné ces animaux piquants,afin qu'ils retrouvent la santé.
Elle disait qu'elle s'occupait actuellement de 80 hérissons et qu'elle avait atteint sa limite.Ceci à la suite d' un pic de nouveaux arrivants en raison du temps chaud et d'une mystérieuse maladie affectant les jeunes hérissons.
La femme disait que son opération de sauvetage avait commencé il y a cinq ans quand sa mère trouva un hérisson infesté d'asticots et que aucun refuge existant n'avait d'espace.

Merci pour les différents liens très utiles, non trouvés, concernant l'abacus de Maxwell : cela m'aurait épargné pas mal d'heures de travail, mal à l'aise pour chercher avec pertinence sur Internet. Chacun a ses failles. Nobody is perfect...

Comment aider les hérissons dans votre jardin ?
Laisser des zones/coins de jardin sauvage, avec des tas de litières de feuilles et des bûches/rondins/branchages.
Acheter une cabane/un abri déjà construit qui servira de maison aux hérissons dans une jardinerie.
Laissez de l'eau fraîche et de la pâtée pour chats ou chiens (sauf à base de poissons).
Couvrez les évacuations des canalisations et les trous, et posez des briques sur le bord des bassins, afin de faciliter la sortie des hérissons.
Vérifiez bien de ne pas avoir de hérissons avant d'utiliser la débroussailleuse ou la tondeuse.
Utilisez une alternative naturelle au lieu d'anti-limaces, car ces produits empoisonnent les hérissons.

Il faut bien traduire "recuperating" non ? OUI! Bien sûr!
hogs and hoglets = hérissons et petits ? hog est-il le petit du hérisson ? Trop drôle, Maxwell ! Alors, la citadine, spécialiste en "hedge hogs" que je suis te demande, comme toujours, de ne pas faire du mot à mot ...
En anglais, il se trouve qu'un "hérisson" est un "hedge hog", c'est à dire un "hog" (cochon/ porc ?) qui vit dans les haies ... Alors, il n'est pas rose comme un cochon, n'a pas, (je présume... ) la queue en tire-bouchon, mais en anglais, c'est quand même un "hog", avec un petit qui sera un "hoglet" (comme un piglet !) mais il sera quand même "hérisson" pour les Français ! Désolée !
Pour la peine, j'ai cherché (et sais maintenant plein de choses) sur les "hedge-hogs mais ne vais pas vous les infliger ... Si ça vous intéresse, cherchez "All you need to know about hedge hogs" ... très intéressant !
"J'avais corrigé mystery en mysterious car pour moi, on attendait un adjectif. Mystery est quand même bon ? Là, je n'ai pas compris. Où alors, en mot à mot, c'est "la maladie à mystère ?", un substantif adjectivisé ? C'est la "maladie mystère", mais j'ai quand même le droit de faire une transposition (changer la nature du mot tout en gardant le sens ...), non ?
