Bonjour,
Réponse :
Christa was riding in a Volkswagen with her fiancé through a rainstorm in
Pennsylvania in 1969 when (1) the news came over the car
radio : a man had set foot on (2) the moon. They both cheered , but
neither had any (3 )reason to suspect that the event would
someday directly change their lives. Much later (4 ), she
said “when I was young, women did not fly in space”. Last July, NASA
announced that she had been (5)chosen to join a shuttle crew.
Despite other newfound celebrity (6 )Christa never
doubted that following her sojourn in space she would return to the family
and above all to her classroom. She told (7)an audience last
August : “the more I touch the future, the better (8 ) I understand
space.”
Explications :
(1) when : quand
(2) on the moon : sur la lune
(3) neither had any reason : aucun n'avait de raisons / ni l'un ni l'autre n'avait
de raisons
(4) Much later : beaucoup plus tard
(5) had been : past perfect ( had + partticipe passé ) car c'est un événement antérieur à une action passée.
(6) newfound celebrity : célébrité nouvelle/retrouvée
(7) told prétérit ( last August )
(8) double comparatif : the more .... // the + comparatif
==> Plus ... mieux
==> the more ...... the better
