Est-ce qu’un jour je serai assez mature pour ne plus rire chaque fois que le mot ‘bouchée’ est employé dans la langue anglaise ?
Non. Probablement pas, non.
Alors perso je ne suis pas du tout sensible à ce genre d’humour.
is there something funny about the word bite in french like?
The first page of “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brontë, Latvian translation.
Why transliterate surnames?
— Vous êtes blessé? — сказал ему Наполеон. — Je vous demande pardon, sire, je suis tué, — и адъютант упал с лошади и умер на месте.
Севастопольские рассказы - Лев Николаевич Толстой
Another stage-property that he pulled out of his box pretty frequently was his broken twig. He prized his broken twig above all the rest of his effects, and worked it the hardest. It is a restful chapter in any book of his when somebody doesn’t step on a dry twig and alarm all the reds and whites for two hundred yards around. Every time a Cooper person is in peril, and absolute silence is worth four dollars a minute, he is sure to step on a dry twig. There may be a hundred handier things to step on, but that wouldn’t satisfy Cooper. Cooper requires him to turn out and find a dry twig; and if he can’t do it, go and borrow one. In fact, the Leather Stocking Series ought to have been called the Broken Twig Series.
Fenimore Cooper’s Literary Offences - Mark Twain
They (rules governing literary art) require that the personages in a tale shall be alive, except in the case of corpses, and that always the reader shall be able to tell the corpses from the others. But this detail has often been overlooked in the Deerslayer tale.

If you had to write your wish list and you could use invisible ink, what would it be?
Hot Milk - Deborah Levy
Many American ladies on leaving their native land adopt an appearance of chronic ill-health, under the impression that it is a form of European refinement, but Mrs. Otis had never fallen into this error. She had a magnificent constitution, and a really wonderful amount of animal spirits. Indeed, in many respects, she was quite English, and was an excellent example of the fact that we have really everything in common with America nowadays, except, of course, language.
The Canterville Ghost - Oscar Wilde
Канадец, возможно, слышал о таком подразделении, но Консель, более сведущий в этой области, не мог из чувства дружбы допустить, чтобы Нед оказался менее образованным, чем он. Поэтому он начал проповедовать.
20,000 тысяч лье под водой - Жюль Верн
She had a cousin in the Life-Guards, with such long legs that he looked like the afternoon shadow of somebody else.
David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
...my gaze was glued to the hands of the round clock of an old station, hands pierced like halberds, in the vain attempt to turn them back, to move backward over the cemetery of spent hours, lying lifeless in their circular pantheon.
If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller - Italo Calvino
You know that the best you can expect is to avoid the worst.
If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller - Italo Calvino
Success went fizzily to Bernard's head, and in the process completely reconciled him (as any good intoxicant should do) to a world which, up till then, he had found very unsatisfactory
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
"What's the lesson this afternoon?" he asked. "We had Elementary Sex for the first forty minutes," she answered.
Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
“It warn’t the grounding—that didn’t keep us back but a little. We blowed out a cylinder-head.” “Good gracious! anybody hurt?” “No’m. Killed a nigger.” “Well, it’s lucky; because sometimes people do get hurt..."
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
Janet had gone away to get the bath ready, when my aunt, to my great alarm, became in one moment rigid with indignation, and had hardly voice to cry out, 'Janet! Donkeys!' Upon which, Janet came running up the stairs as if the house were in flames, darted out on a little piece of green in front, and warned off two saddle-donkeys, lady-ridden, that had presumed to set hoof upon it; while my aunt, rushing out of the house, seized the bridle of a third animal laden with a bestriding child, turned him, led him forth from those sacred precincts, and boxed the ears of the unlucky urchin in attendance who had dared to profane that hallowed ground.
David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
"'Mr. Peggotty!' says I. 'Sir,' says he. 'Did you give your son the name of Ham, because you lived in a sort of ark?' Mr. Peggotty seemed to think it a deep idea.
David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
Jim said bees wouldn't sting idiots; but I didn't believe that, because I had tried them lots of times myself, and they wouldn't sting me.
