Re: Suicide Jump for the Eiffel Tower
Damn! Lost another cafe loafer...maybe even a taxpayer. But saved paying his pension starting age 60, and a good workout for sedentary rescue personnel.

Re: Suicide Jump for the Eiffel Tower
UPDATE: longer version of the video here: <iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="360" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x5r74r"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5r74r_intervention-grep_sport" target="_blank">Intervention GREP</a> <i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/counterghost" target="_blank">counterghost</a></i> Translation from 7:01 to 8:59: Rescuer with cam: You’re doing that over someone you love, no? Think about that person. Main rescuer (Xavier): So we’re going to have a talk together? Rescuer with cam: I think that person wouldn’t agree with what you’re doing. Xavier: Can I come over there, to speak with you, and I mean that seriously. Narrator: It’s Xavier who arrives first. He’s the only one who approaches so as not to upset Yanik, but he hasn’t taken the time to secure himself. Xavier: I won’t play any tricks on you. Rescuer with cam: Yanik! (the jumper’s name). Xavier: We’re here to tal… Yanik: It’s too late Xavier: No, it’s not too late; it’s never too late. I’ve come to talk with you. (Various other rescuers say “Yanik” one after another at this point). Rescuer with cam (to Yanik): It won’t achieve anything, what you’re going to do. Xavier: I’m come to talk with you. Rescuer with cam: Sit there, and he’ll come and talk to you. Xavier: Sit down or…(unclear) Rescuer with cam (to other rescuers): Don’t move over there, stay there, don’t move. Xavier: They’re our colleagues…ok? I’m going to come and sit facing you. Ok. Yanik. Ok, we’ll shake hands. No tricks. I’m Xavier, Yanik. I won’t do…I’ll sit facing you. Yanik: You know this is going to end badly. Xavier: Why? There’s no… (not clear) …there. Don’t you think? We’ll talk together. We’ll talk about your problems now. Yanik: It's over. Xavier: What's over? I’m going to move to there. No problems. Do you see the drop there? We’re not going to jump together. Yanik. No, no. You, you… Xavier: I’m going to secure myself first. I’m securing myself. Me, I have a family, with children. I’ve three children. So, we’ll talk about the problems. I’ll secure myself first. Other rescuer (to other rescuers): No, just him, you up there! (various voices for a second, then to Yanik) It’s just him who’ll talk with you. Xavier: Let go of me there! I’m not secured me. I’m not secured. Yanik: Well, secure yourself. Xavier: Wait, WAIT! No, hold the hand. Narrator: The young man removes his pullover so his rescuer can’t get a good grip. Yanik (calmly): Let me go. Let me go. Please. Xavier, Ok, wait, Yanik. Crowd below: Eeeayyeeaaaiiiaaayyy! Xavier: LADS! Narrator: Xavier catches him by his belt, but the young man unbuckles it. Xavier: AHH! Crowd below: Eeeayyeeaaaiiiaaayyy… (continuing) Xavier: Ahh! Other rescuer: Fucking shit!! That’s about as close as I can get. Some of what Yanik (the jumper) says is too faint for my English ears. |

Re: Suicide Jump for the Eiffel Tower
@jgpb41 Thnx for the full translation, because French is not my mother language, its weird I can understand French & talk but in some way it hard to translate it in English (which is also not my main language) |

Re: Suicide Jump for the Eiffel Tower
Listen to the herd of cattle screaming as he slips. Some people just can't remain calm in a situation that depends on it.

Re: Suicide Jump for the Eiffel Tower
That's ok. I didn't mean to imply any criticism of your translation when I contributed mine. It is very difficult to translate into a non-native language and I wouldn't have the courage to post an English to French translation on a French language forum, for example (native to non-native for me), never mind non-native to non-native translation like you did. I know that professional translators usually only translate into their native language(s) from other languages (I'm doing a masters in translation at the moment and we've had presentations from professional agencies during the course and that's what they advised us).
