Base Verbale + adverbe

 

 

Base Verbale + préposition

 

 

 

 

 

 

Confondre ces deux formes peut donner lieu

à un contre-sens :

 

le journal Le Monde traduit

une phrase d'une chanson de Madonna,

"I'm just living out the American dream",

par "Je vis en-dehors du rêve américain"

(Le Monde, 13-14.4.2003).

 

Contre-sens complet :

la phrase signifie :

"Je vis à fond le rêve américain"

(verbe à particule adverbiale live out).

 

Il y a ici confusion entre out,

particule adverbiale qui intensifie

le sens de la Base Verbale (BV),

et  out of, groupe prépositionnel.

 

Live out est d'ailleurs un phrasal verb

iconique dans le contexte du "rêve américain".

 

Martin Luther King l'emploie

dans son discours "I have a dream" (28 août 1963) :

 

"I still have a dream.

It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. /

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up

and live out the true meaning of its creed:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident:

that all men are created equal." "

 

Cette dernière phrase est une citation

de la Déclaration d'indépendance

des Etats-Unis (4 juillet 1776), § 2 :

 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident,

that all men are created equal,

that they are endowed by their Creator

with certain unalienable Rights,

that among these are Life, Liberty

and the pursuit of Happiness (...)."

 

 

 

 

 

- Syntaxe

 

La particule adverbiale peut parfois précéder la Base Verbale.

 

Cet effet de style se rencontre chez certains écrivains

(Katherine Mansfield), ou dans les "billets" journalistiques :

 

Applause thundered down like monsoon rain on a tin roof.

Clappiness is compulsory!

To my right sat a septuagenarian lady down

whose thick-rouged cheeks flowed real tears.

The rivulets created a wadi in her makeup.

In flew the soundbites, fired from every angle.

'Da Quiet Man is here

and he's turning up da volume!' said IDS,

with one of those strangulated snarls

that peter out like the end of the toothpaste tube.

2 -    For Scott Schlageter, 35, an American procurement manager for the Saudi air force, it was just another expat's night in Riyadh. He was watching an Antonio Banderas thriller, curled up on the sofa in his home in al-Jadawel, a gated town-house complex in the Saudi Arabian capital. Suddenly the lights died, and the TV zapped off. Schlageter saw a flash and felt a thundering explosion that blew out all his windows. "I grabbed my cell phone, went upstairs to a secure room, called the U.S. embassy and told them we were under attack", he says. A vehicle loaded with explosives had blown up at the gates of the compound. At that very moment, similar assaults were under way in two other residential areas. Six and a half km away, at a complex that housed dozens of Americans employed by Vinell Corp. to help train the Saudi National Guard, a pair of cars were on a deadly mission. The first, a Ford Crown Victoria sedan filled with terrorists armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles, sped up to the compound's security checkpoint. The men mowed down the guards and removed a 1-m-high steel barrier taht protected the compound.

Explosion in Kabul, Casualties Reported

 

July 4, 2006
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 4:09 a.m. ET
New York Times

 

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) --

An explosion went off in front of a cinema

near the presidential palace in central Kabul on Tuesday,

and casualties were reported, police said.

The cinema lies by a traffic circle about 200 yards

from the heavily fortified official residence

of President Hamid Karzai.

Police official Mohammed Akbar said there were casualties

but did not provide further details.

The cause of the blast was also not immediately clear.

A local shopkeeper, Mohammed Ali,

said the explosion had gone off inside a car.

Police blocked roads to the scene of the blast.

Here's a calculation that hoteliers and business travellers might like to ponder. If it costs a hotel 11p a day to provide high-speed internet access to each of its rooms - let's call it HSIA, as the industry does - and half the guests use it, how much will the hotelier have to charge to turn a quick and easy profit?

G8 hammers out debt relief deal for poor nations

LONDON (Reuters) - The world's wealthiest countries agreed on Saturday to write off more than $40 billion of impoverished nations' debts in a drive to free Africa from hunger and disease.

The deal was struck by finance ministers from the Group of Eight industrialized nations in London after months of tense negotiations and leaves leaders to consider proposals for doubling aid at a summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, next month.

Gill flies out

as the Glazers move in

 

The Manchester United chief executive David Gill flew to Florida yesterday to decide whether he wants to implement Malcolm Glazer's aggressive new business plan on the day when the American billionaire began his reign by installing his sons Joel, Bryan and Avram on the club's board.

The choice facing Gill is stark and, if he believes that the plan by Glazer, which involves about £800m of borrowing, is unworkable, the United chief executive will have to resign and leave the club in the hands of its new American owners.

However, there were signs yesterday that Gill, despite his original opposition to a Glazer takeover, is prepared to work under the new regime.

Newsweek apologized yesterday for printing a small item on May 9 about reported desecration of the Koran by American guards at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, an item linked to riots in Pakistan and Afghanistan that led to the deaths of at least 17 people.

The report that a Koran had been flushed down a toilet set off the most virulent, widespread anti-American protests in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban government more than three years ago.

Can't get up?

Wake up and find the Clocky

 

It looks annoying, like a furry swiss roll on wheels. Even its name is irritating: Clocky. But that's nothing compared with what it does. Clocky is surely the most infuriating wake-up call ever devised.

Dreamt up [ participe passé ] by a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it works like this: You hit the snooze button because you are desperate for a few more minutes' sleep. Clocky then rolls off the bedside table and wheels around the bedroom floor bumping into things, before settling on a place to hide.

"When the alarm clock sounds again, the sleeper must get out of bed and search for it," said Gauri Nanda, a research associate at MIT.

"This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off."

Ms Nanda hit upon the idea after struggling to rise in the mornings. "I've been known to hit the snooze bar for up to two hours or even accidentally turn it off. I've known people who put the alarm clock in the living room, but then forget to set it before going to sleep.

"Having the alarm clock hide from me was just the most obvious way I could think of to get out of bed."

Ms Nanda gave her clock a furry covering in the hope it would look endearing and stop people throwing it out of the window in anger.

A built-in microprocessor ensures that Clocky rolls off in a new direction and makes a series of different turns, so that its hiding place changes each morning. Because it uses simple technology, MIT says the clock, which has yet to go into production, would cost less than £15.

Ms Nanda has plans to make a second generation of more intelligent Clockies. If two people sharing a room needed to get up at different times, two Clockies could sound different alarms and even gang up on [ verbe à particule adverbiale + préposition ] a serial oversleeper by sounding their alarms simultaneously.

Time to step aside

 

In a balanced, multi-party parliamentary democracy, Ralph Nader would have been a candidate for secular sainthood. He forced consumer protection - physical and financial - on to the public agenda in the 1960s, saving thousands of lives and billions of dollars. He championed freedom of information laws that declared that public records belong to the people, not to those who compile them. His focus on corporate kleptocracy led to reforms - albeit temporary - in political campaign finance.

Tysor believes astro funerals are starting to catch on. The potential market is huge. In the US alone about 650,000 people are cremated every year and 1.8m buried in coffins - generating a total of close to $10bn a year for the funeral industry. The rising proportion of people opting for cremation rather than burial should also help. "More people are choosing to sprinkle the ashes of their loved ones in several different places that the deceased enjoyed - a golf course, local forest or into space - so you don't have to commit to just one place," says Tysor. "This is obviously much harder when someone is not cremated."

The lethal spread of the HIV/Aids pandemic across the globe is speeding up, in spite of intensifying efforts on the part of UN agencies, the US, Britain and other European governments to turn the tide. A record five million people were infected by the virus last year and nearly three million died.

The UN's latest bi-annual report on the state of the pandemic made it plain yesterday that the HIV virus that causes Aids is defeating man's best efforts to contain it.

Henman withers away

 

Another great Wimbledon tradition continued today as Tim Henman succumbed to a display of controlled aggression from the unseeded Croatian Mario Ancic, losing the quarter final in straight sets 7-6, 6-4, 6-2.

After coping admirably with the booming service game of Mark Philippoussis during his fourth round match, Henman wilted in the face of Ancic's combined assault of hostile serves and sharp returns.

After the defeat, Henman admitted that time was catching up with him. "I have never hidden behind the fact that this is the one tournament which I would love to win the most, but the reality is that I don't have an endless number of years of chances and I felt this was a good opportunity," he said.

Henman struggled through the first set, losing a tie break 7-5, and though showed some resilience in the second, he was a sorry shadow of himself by the third set, and no amount of enthusiastic support from Centre Court - which was silenced when Ancic broke Henman's serve to love in the third game - could raise a hint of a dramatic comeback.

Police still haven't rooted out racism

 

Institutional racism is still rife in police forces across Britain five years after the inquiry into the death of black teenager Stephen Lawrence, which ordered senior officers to root it out.

A report from the Commission for Racial Equality to be published tomorrow will show that all but one of the 43 forces and authorities in England and Wales are failing in their legal duty towards ethnic communities. The results will be devastating for the police, still struggling to recruit non-white officers and win the confidence of Britain's ethnic communities.

CRE chairman Trevor Phillips set up the inquiry after the BBC made an undercover documentary, The Secret Policeman, which revealed a culture of racism at Bruche police training centre near Warrington. In one scene a recruit wearing a Ku Klux Klan-style hood acted out how he would beat up an Asian.

A COFFIN-shaped "smokers' booth" has been placed outside an office block in a bid to scare away cigarette users.

It is hoped the chilling reminder outside the Quay Street building in Manchester city centre will discourage smokers from surrounding offices who hang around and leave behind a mess of rubbish and cigarette butts.

The company has resorted to shock tactics after four years of politely asking the smokers to go elsewhere.

Company boss Nigel Sarbutts, 39, said: "We are doing it because we are fed up with people smoking outside our offices. People are sitting on our window sills and somebody has even brought a bin out of their office to put their tabs in.

"We are in the image business. Our company works in advertising and PR. We have clients coming in and it just looks rubbish."

Gates aims to wipe out spam

as UK broadband users

unwittingly help the spammers

 

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, used a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos to promise to rid the world of spam, or junk e-mails, within two years.

His optimism contrasts with others in the industry who fret that the explosion in unsolicited e-mail could gum up the internet completely. And it will need to be matched with sophisticated software as spammers get ever more sophisticated.

Tens of thousands of Britons have broadband PCs that have been infected with viruses that turn them into machines able to pump out thousands of junk e-mails every day without the owner ever knowing, industry experts are warning.

Virus-writers appear to have teamed up with spammers to create a "zombie network" of broadband PCs around the world which are used to push out spam - including fraudulent and pornographic messages - round the clock. As much as 10 per cent could be British machines because there is a comparatively high number of home broadband users in the UK.

(...)

The US Federal Trade Commission is warning that one-third of all spam comes from such infected machines. In the UK, the e-commerce minister Stephen Timms has admitted that, despite the government's encouragement that people take up broadband, it has no idea how many machines are infected and being used to generate spam.

Frank Bruno was once a world champion and Britain loved him. But after he hung up his gloves his life fell apart. Richard Williams on the decline of a prizefighter

(...) And for once the facade of hype and stereotype - Bruno as cuddly bruiser, Bruno as pantomime dame, Bruno as comic character available for quiz shows and general banter ("Know what I mean, 'arry?") - fell away.

(...) This was a long way from the mood of the night at Wembley stadium six months earlier, when he held off Oliver McCall to win the World Boxing Council belt.

(...) When he was knocked down after 12 seconds of the opening round, it seemed that he would become the latest fighter to be destroyed by a man who seemed, at that stage, to be a force of nature. To his credit, Bruno got up and eventually landed a left hook that made him one of only four men to launch a blow that genuinely rocked the pre-gaol Tyson. But after five rounds of increasingly devastating punishment, a combination of punches to the head and body finally put him down for the count.

(...) Predictably, Bruno took an even worse beating. Having pulled himself together and fought creditably in the first two rounds, he fell apart under Tyson's assault in the third. A left hook paralysed his legs, two similar blows brought down his hands, and from then on Tyson was able to smash his fists into the champion's face until the referee stepped between them and lifted the American's arms.

And that, thank goodness, was the end for Bruno. At the age of 34, he took off his gloves and felt the sting of an icepack for the last time. He made $6m for his final night's work, against Tyson's $30m.

(...) The first time Bruno had lost to Tyson, hundreds turned up to greet him at Heathrow airport.

(...) It should have been a biggie. Instead, over the course of five rounds, what happened was the total emotional disintegration of a man who had, in his previous encounter with Lewis at Wembley Arena, knocked him out with a single punch in the first round. Zoned out, McCall stood there, an unforgettable sight with his fists hanging, tears streaming down his face. It said everything, but mostly that he just couldn't do this any more. Later it turned out McCall had been having problems with crack addiction.

A few hours later, soon after midnight, Toni-Ann was dead, executed. Her age? Just seven.

She was with her father, a convicted drugs dealer, in his bedsit in Kensal Green, north London, when his assailant came calling. As he fired several shots into Mr Byfield's body, the little girl ran away screaming.

The gunmen (sic) had a decision. Let her live, and risk identification. So he shot her, once, in the back, as neighbours heard her scream her last, and made good his escape.

And so Toni-Ann enters the record books, believed to be the youngest ever victim of Britain's burgeoning gang wars and the country's gun culture epidemic. And what makes it all the more shocking is that she was no accidental victim, a bystander caught upparticipe passé in a drive-by shooting.

She was instead targeted. And picked off.

Seven months after Dolly the cloned sheep was put down, stuffed and exhibited in a Scottish museum, the company that created her is to get much the same treatment from its accountants.

PPL Therapeutics, whose "nuclear transfer" technology once promised flocks of genetically modified sheep producing life-saving drugs in their milk, is to be wound up. It admitted yesterday that it had failed to get the backing of shareholders for a scaled-down business plan.

Geoff Cook, the chief executive who was brought in two years ago to turn round the biotech group, could not persuade investors that the company has a future focusing on one remaining product, Fibrin I, a glue he believes could help stop bleeding during surgery.

But after careful consideration, I decided that the high-water mark of presidential discourse was probably Ronald Reagan’s Berlin address of June 12, 1987, in front of the Brandenburg Gate, in which the president appealed to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to dismantle the Berlin Wall. In the most memorable line of the speech, Reagan declared: “General-Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
