PARALLEL TEXT
La course au fromage
The Cheese Rolling Festival
Je m’appelle Robert et je vais vous raconter comment je me suis retrouvé au milieu d’un champ anglais en train de dévaler frénétiquement une colline, derrière un fromage.
My name is Robert and I’m going to tell you a story about how I ended up in the middle of an English field frantically chasing cheese down a hill.
Ayant grandi dans un petit village français en Normandie, la nourriture avait une place importante dans notre vie de famille aussi loin que je m’en souvienne.
Growing up in a small French village in the region of Normandy, eating was a big part of our family life for as long as I can remember.
Les repas représentaient une occasion pour toute la famille d’être ensemble, de partager des histoires et d’apprécier la compagnie des autres.
Eating represented an occasion for the whole family to get together, to share stories and to enjoy each other’s company.
Mon moment préféré du repas était toujours lorsque les fromages étaient apportés à table et le choix en France est énorme – il y a 400 variétés différentes de fromage, qui sont produites dans tout le pays, et je crois que je les ai toutes essayées.
My favourite part of the meal was always when the cheese was brought to the table, and being brought up in France I was spoilt for choice – there are almost 400 different types of cheese produced across the nation and I think I must have tasted all of them.
La variété de fromage importait peu – chèvre, bleu, vache –, je mangeais tout ce qui était présenté. J’étais connu dans ma famille pour mon amour des fromages: vous ne serez pas surpris d’apprendre que, enfant, j’étais un peu enrobé.
It didn’t matter what kind of cheese it was – goat, ewe, blue, cow – if it was available I would eat it. I became famous in my family for just how much I loved cheese: you won’t be surprised to hear I was a little on the chubby side as a child!
De l’endroit où je vivais en Normandie, j’ai grandi en pouvant voir Jersey, une des îles de la Manche appartenant au Royaume-Uni.
Where I used to live in Normandy, I grew up being able to see Jersey, one of the Channel Islands that belong to the United Kingdom.
Mon grand-père me prenait sur ses genoux et me racontait des histoires à propos de l’Angleterre et de ses visites sur l’île en ferry.
My granddad used to sit me on his knee and tell me stories about England and the times he had visited the island on the ferry.
J’étais jeune et curieux, je voulais y aller.
As I was young and curious, I wanted to go there.
Et si j’y allais, je voulais manger du fromage.
And when I got there, I wanted to eat cheese!
Alors un jour, nous avons tous décidé de prendre le ferry depuis une ville nommée Saint-Malo et d’effectuer un petit voyage jusqu’à l’île.
So one day we all agreed to catch the ferry from a town called St Malo and made the short journey to the island.
Je partais pour la première fois loin de chez moins et je me rappelle comment tout me semblait différent: la langue sonnait de manière particulière, l’architecture était différente de tout ce que j’avais vu et la nourriture n’avait pas du tout le même goût qu’à la maison.
It was my first time abroad and I remember thinking how different everything felt: the language sounded peculiar, the architecture was different to anything I had ever seen and the food was nothing like I had tasted at home.
Heureusement, mon grand-père pouvait bien parler l’anglais, et il a débuté une conversation avec un commerçant local à propos des différences de nourriture.
Luckily, my granddad could speak good English, and he started a conversation with a local shop owner about the differences in food.
Il a expliqué au commerçant je j’adorais le fromage, et c’est là que j’ai entendu parler pour la première fois d’un festival en Angleterre nommé le ‘Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling’.
He told the shop owner that I loved cheese, and this is where I first found out about a festival in England called ‘Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling’.
J’ai découvert que non seulement les gens en Angleterre avaient du fromage, mais qu’il était si bon qu’ils allaient jusqu’à lui courir après du haut d’une colline et se battre avec d’autres personnes pour lui.
I found out that not only did people in England have cheese, but it was so good they were willing to chase it down a hill and fight other people for it.
Je devais attendre encore un peu pour y aller: les enfants de 9 ans ne peuvent pas voyager seuls jusqu’en Angleterre.
Well, I had to wait a little while to get there: 9 year olds can’t make the journey to England alone.
Ma visite est intervenue plus tard, lorsque je suis allé en Angleterre une année pour étudier dans le cadre de mon troisième cycle universitaire à Londres.
My time to visit came later, whilst I was in England studying for a year as part of my postgraduate university course in London.
Je n’ai jamais oublié l’histoire de la course derrière un fromage du haut d’une colline, et alors que je parlais à mon grand-papa au téléphone, il m’a dit que je devrais planifier une visite au festival Cooper’s Hill.
The story about chasing cheese down a hill never left me, and while talking to my granddad on the phone, he said that I should make plans to visit the Cooper’s Hill festival.
C’est ainsi que trois amis anglais et moi-même nous sommes retrouvés un après-midi, se tenant au sommet d’une colline avec des centaines de personnes, attendant de courir après un fromage dans un champ raide. De la folie.
So, three English friends and I found ourselves one afternoon, stood on top of a hill with literally hundreds of other people, waiting to chase a piece of cheese down a steep field. Madness.
Le festival de fromage roulant de Cooper's Hill se tient près de la ville de Gloucester et, tout comme le nom le suggère,
