Le fleuve et son histoire

The River and Its History

LE Mississippi mérite bien qu’on lise ce qu’on en raconte.

THE Mississippi is well worth reading about.

Ce n’est pas un fleuve banal,

It is not a commonplace river,

mais au contraire un fleuve remarquable à tous égards.

but on the contrary is in all ways remarkable.

Si l’on considère le Missouri comme son bras principal,

Considering the Missouri its main branch,

c’est le plus long fleuve du monde —

it is the longest river in the world —

quatre mille trois cents milles.

four thousand three hundred miles.

On peut sans grand risque affirmer que c’est aussi le fleuve le plus sinueux du monde,

It seems safe to say that it is also the crookedest river in the world,

puisque, sur une partie de son parcours, il lui faut mille trois cents milles pour couvrir l’étendue que le corbeau survolerait en six cent soixante-quinze.

since in one part of its journey it uses up one thousand three hundred miles to cover the same ground that the crow would fly over in six hundred and seventy-five.

Il déverse trois fois plus d’eau que le

It discharges three times as much water as the St.

Saint-Laurent,

Lawrence,

vingt-cinq fois plus que le Rhin

twenty-five times as much as the Rhine,

et trois cent trente-huit fois plus que la Tamise.

and three hundred and thirty-eight times as much as the Thames.

Aucun autre fleuve ne possède un bassin versant aussi vaste :

No other river has so vast a drainage-basin:

il tire ses eaux de vingt-huit États et Territoires ;

it draws its water supply from twenty-eight States and Territories;

du Delaware,

from Delaware,

sur la côte atlantique,

on the Atlantic seaboard,

et de tout le pays qui s’étend de là jusqu’à l’Idaho, sur le versant pacifique —

and from all the country between that and Idaho on the Pacific slope —

soit une étendue de quarante-cinq degrés de longitude.

a spread of forty-five degrees of longitude.

Le Mississippi reçoit et porte jusqu’au golfe les eaux de cinquante-quatre rivières tributaires navigables pour les bateaux à vapeur,

The Mississippi receives and carries to the Gulf water from fifty-four subordinate rivers that are navigable by steamboats,

et de quelques centaines d’autres que peuvent emprunter les chalands et les barges.

and from some hundreds that are navigable by flats and keels.

La superficie de son bassin versant égale celle de l’Angleterre,

The area of its drainage-basin is as great as the combined areas of England,

du pays de Galles,

Wales,

de l’Écosse,

Scotland,

de l’Irlande,

Ireland,

de la France,

France,

de l’Espagne,

Spain,

du Portugal,

Portugal,

de l’Allemagne,

Germany,

de l’Autriche,

Austria,

de l’Italie

Italy,

et de la Turquie réunies ;

and Turkey;

et presque toute cette vaste région est fertile ;

and almost all this wide region is fertile;

la vallée du Mississippi

the Mississippi valley,

proprement dite

proper,

l’est tout particulièrement.

is exceptionally so.

Msuko wa hadithi

Learning a vast river by heart. In a village on the Mississippi, every boy dreams of working on the steamboats. The finest job of all is to be the pilot.

Ulimwengu wa kitabu

The river of the steamboats. Around 1850, the Mississippi is the great highway of the United States. Big steamboats known as “floating palaces” carry passengers, cotton and goods along it.

Mwandishi

The old pilot comes back to his river. As a young man, Mark Twain is a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi. Then he heads to the American West, works in the mines and becomes a writer. In 1882, he returns to his river…
