Life in an Old House
La vie dans une vieille maison
Mark moved into an old house built almost a hundred years ago.
Marc a emménagé dans une vieille maison construite il y a presque cent ans.
The house was tall, with thick brick walls and large windows in wooden frames.
La maison était haute, avec de gros murs en briques et de grandes fenêtres dans des cadres en bois.
Inside, it smelled of wood and old books, and the floors pleasantly creaked with every step.
À l’intérieur, ça sentait le bois et les vieux livres, et le parquet grinçait agréablement à chaque pas.
On the staircase stood old lanterns, and the railing was decorated with carvings.
Dans l’escalier se trouvaient de vieilles lanternes, et la rampe était décorée de sculptures.
In the yard grew huge chestnut trees that, in spring, were covered with white candle-like flowers.
Dans la cour poussaient d’énormes marronniers qui, au printemps, se couvraient de fleurs blanches comme des bougies.
The neighbors were friendly and often gathered on the bench near the entrance to chat.
Les voisins étaient sympathiques et se retrouvaient souvent sur le banc près de l’entrée pour discuter.
In the evenings, Mark liked to sit by the window, listen to the rain tapping on the sill, and watch the street.
Le soir, Marc aimait s’asseoir près de la fenêtre, écouter la pluie frapper le rebord et regarder la rue.
The old house had its own special character, and living in it felt like being in another era.
La vieille maison avait un caractère particulier, et y vivre, c’était comme être dans une autre époque.
