English → Fr Full Text Level 3/10

Use a candle and paper, combination, setting it as close as possible to the inflammable material you want to burn: From a sheet of paper, tear a strip three or four centimeters wide and wrap it around the base of the candle two or three times.

Utilisez une combinaison bougie et papier, en la plaçant aussi près que possible du matériau inflammable que vous souhaitez brûler : à partir d'une feuille de papier, déchirez une bande de trois ou quatre centimètres de large et enroulez-la autour de la base de la bougie deux ou trois fois.

Twist more sheets of paper into loose ropes and place them around the base of the candle.

Tordez d'autres feuilles de papier en cordes lâches et placez-les autour de la base de la bougie.

When the candle flame reaches the encircling strip, it will be ignited and in turn will ignite the surrounding paper.

Lorsque la flamme de la bougie atteindra la bande entourant celle-ci, elle s'enflammera et enflammera à son tour le papier environnant.

The size, heat, and duration of the resulting flame will depend on how much paper you use and how much of it you can cramp in a small space.

La taille, la chaleur et la durée de la flamme résultante dépendront de la quantité de papier que vous utilisez et de la quantité que vous pouvez entasser dans un petit espace.

(2) With a flame of this kind, do not attempt to ignite any but rather inflammable materials, such as cotton sacking.

(2) Avec une flamme de ce type, ne tentez pas d'enflammer d'autres matériaux que des matériaux plutôt inflammables, comme la toile de coton.

To light more resistant materials, use a candle plus tightly rolled or twisted paper which has been soaked in gasoline.

Pour enflammer des matériaux plus résistants, utilisez une bougie accompagnée de papier étroitement roulé ou tordu ayant été trempé dans de l'essence.

To create a briefer but even hotter flame, put celluloid such as you might find in an old comb, into a nest of plain or saturated paper which is to be fired by a candle.

Pour créer une flamme plus brève mais encore plus chaude, placez de la celluloïd, comme celle que l'on pourrait trouver dans un vieux peigne, dans un nid de papier ordinaire ou saturé devant être enflammé par une bougie.

(3) To make another type of simple fuse, soak one end of a piece of string in grease.

(3) Pour fabriquer un autre type de mèche simple, trempez une extrémité d'un morceau de ficelle dans de la graisse.

Rub a generous pinch of gunpowder over the inch of string where greasy string meets clean string.

Frottez une généreuse pincée de poudre à canon sur le centimètre de ficelle où la ficelle grasse rencontre la ficelle propre.

Then ignite the clean end of the string.

Puis enflammez l'extrémité propre de la ficelle.
