Translation Corrections (T1-T3) for Psy L 3

Translations

T1

The book How to Be a Teacher has just come out in bookshops.

It is a book of advice by F le D, a certified professor of modern literature, who taught for nineteen years in a priority education zone in St. Denis.

In fifteen chapters the author shares her experience with concrete examples.

It is not a pedagogical book that pretends to replace the teaching masters program. Rather, it is about ideas/tricks to gain time and avoid discouragement. 

Every beginning teacher makes mistakes.  You must be sufficiently open to understand them and thus more efficient to correct them.

This guide offers ways to avoid the difficulties that can harm a class. // This guide gives clues to dodge the problems that can hurt a class.

The quality of teaching depends on mutual respect between student and teacher.  The teacher is there to help the students, not to trap them.

T2

She talks about her life without sex.

In her novel Desire, SF admits the unspeakable: her experience of sexual solitude.

SF: We talk a lot about asexuals and people who abstain because they are in protest mode, and expressing something radical.

But there is a terrible taboo surrounding sexual solitude. It is not feeling that you are outside the norm, which would be less serious; it is to feel that you are worthless.

In the beginning my editor said, “Above all, don’t tell anyone that it is about you.” As if admitting it would cause less envy than pity.

But what I find less desirable is to live against your own truth. It’s better to have many years of ‘nothing’ than depressing relationships.  The lack creates imagination: everything you are not doing goes to your head / gets into your mind.

But people prefer to think that you don’t have sexual needs. They are troubled by the absence of sexuality which makes them think about solitude, which/that they both fear and desire.

You stand alone and you are free. You do nobody/no one any harm when you stop making love and yet you are as threatening as if you were a reactionary.

T3

Emotions are complex reactions over a short time. . . // Emotions are complex short-term reactions that result in a modification of the physiological sphere — heart beat rate, perspiration, pupil diameter, etc. — and strong subjective feelings.

They also/equally have an often recognizable expression.  They have a usefulness, otherwise they would have disappeared during our long evolution. . .

Anger is a primary emotion // is classed as // called primary. It is part of the six fundamental emotions defined by Darwin (1872) and is universally recognized.

Thrill seeking // Looking for strong emotions is today considered as a personality trait. 

However it corresponds to different motivations which range from a simple activation (of emotion) to a predisposition for risk-taking and dependent behaviours.
