Wind farm = éoliennes, parc d'éoliennes.
There may be several windmills on a single wind farm.

Quant à la question de marie11 relative à wind farm (pourquoi pas windmill), je remercie willy d'avoir répondu. Je suppose que marie11 est satisfaite des explications de willy??
** C'est bien animal species et non species tout simplement.(à marie11)
Je vous remercie beaucoup d'avoir fait l'exercice et d'avoir fait bon usage de votre fibre écologique car :
-"Nature will have her course" = La nature reprendra ses droits.
-"He who follows nature is never out of his way" = La nature est bonne conseillère.
-"Nature abhors a vacuum" = La nature a horreur du vide.

denzel pour le choix du texte, et les corrections de ton exercice.Je pense que unleaded petrol = lead-free petrol
unleaded -> in England, it's the word always used at petrol stations.
---> Est-ce que tu as choisi "lead-free", parce qu'il s'agissait d'une phrase d'ordre général? ou utiliserais-tu tout autant le mot "unleaded" ?
Dans le même ordre d'idée "environmentally friendly", il y a aussi le système "Park & Ride", à l'entrée d'une grande ville, où on peut laisser sa voiture (Park) et ensuite (Ride) prendre un bus qui fait la navette entre cet immense parking et le centre ville.
Quelle expression française est employée comme équivalent de "Park & Ride" ?
Merci de bien vouloir éclairer ma

Salut mp27 et merci beaucoup pour tes commentaires.
1. "lead-free = unleaded" : j'utiliserai tout aussi l'un que l'autre, mais avec une petite préférence prou "lead-free" qui me paraît plus anglo-saxon et ne "sent pas la traduction".
2. "Park & Ride" qui s'écrit normalement "Park-and-ride" correspond plus à l'expression "parcobus" qu'on peut entendre dans certaines métropoles en France. C'est un terme qui n'est pas encore très connu,mais qui à mon avis traduit à peu près le "Park-and-ride" anglais, en attendant une traduction meilleure.
mp27, encore merci de m'avoir donné l'occasion de fournir ces explications, j'espère avoir éclairé ta

Je voudrais mettre mon tout petit grain de sel ! J'ai utilisé en 2005 et 2006 le système Park&Ride (orthographe du prospectus en ma possession) à Norwich (Norfolk)."Le Robert&Collins" utilise, comme traduction, une longue périphrase : "stationnement en périphérie d'agglomération combiné à un système de transport en commun" ; il orthographie l'expression avec des tirets. On voit aussi "Park and Ride".
Ce système existe dans plusieurs villes anglaises.

C'est à Cambridge que j'ai utilisé la première fois ce système il y a plusieurs années.
Il y a maintenant 5 sites "Park & Ride" à Cambridge
Lien Internet
Bien qu'il soit écrit partout "Park & Ride"(site, et sur les bus), j'ai également vu écrit -> Park and Ride, dans des articles mentionnant ou décrivant le système.
Merci pour --> PARCOBUS!Réponse: The Right Attitude de marie11, postée le 27-06-2007 à 22:20:30 (S | E)
Bonjour.
Juste une mise au point.
« Endangered species » est un nom : il ne peut donc être scindé.
Voici quelques références:
1- Chambers reference on line
Search Results for 'endangered species'
« Endangered species » - noun - any plant or animal species that is in danger of extinction in the near future, either because its populations have fallen to very low levels, or because it only occurs naturally in a few restricted areas.
2- Collins
...endangered species such as lynx and wolf.
3- WordNet Search - 3.0
Noun
S: (n) endangered species (a species whose numbers are so small that the species is at risk of extinction)
et google fourmille d'autres exemples. C'est peut-être une erreur de journaliste.

c. In some countries, people have organized to use cars more efficiently; car-pooling consists in sharing a ride, which allows people to save on petrol and to preserve the environment.
d. Consumers have become aware of the necessity to protect fur endangered animal species ; so, animal products such as ivory and lead-free are no longer fashionable.
