English

Subject field(s)
  • Funeral Services

CONT

When a member of government dies, if their casket is on display in the [United States] Capitol Rotunda, then they are considered to lie in state... If the casket is in any other type of building, the member or the former member of the government... is considered to lie in repose.

OBS

lie in repose: In English, the designation "lie in repose" means that the casket of a prominent individual lies in any public place other than the principal government building of a country or province. In French, the designation "reposer en chapelle ardente" means more generally that the casket of a prominent individual lies either in a government building or any other public place.

CONT

Des milliers de personnes se sont réunies au Centre Bell, à Montréal, parfois plusieurs heures à l'avance, pour rendre un dernier hommage à Guy Lafleur. Le légendaire hockeyeur repose en chapelle ardente dimanche et lundi.

OBS

reposer en chapelle ardente : En français, la désignation «reposer en chapelle ardente» signifie que le cercueil d'une personnalité publique est exposé dans un bâtiment gouvernemental ou dans tout autre lieu public. En anglais, la désignation «lie in repose» signifie plus spécifiquement que le cercueil d'une personnalité publique est exposé dans tout lieu public autre que le bâtiment gouvernemental principal d'un pays ou d'une province.

Record 6 2005-09-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Restaurant Industry (General)
  • Neology and Linguistic Borrowing
CONT

If you want to draw crowds for the long haul, I think you have to commit to the "labor of love" philosophy which means losing money for a while while the reputation builds, and event afterward only breaking even with minimal profit margins. If you see restauranting as an investment for profit, you’ll probably end up disappointing both yourself and your intended customers. The success of Starbucks is a good study: a coffee house with comfy chairs, chic-metro design, bistro ambiance. It made Dunkin Donuts feel like McDonalds. Design matters. The customer experience matters.

CONT

The most famous name in Sacramento restauranting is that of Frank Fat. His establishment adjacent to the State Capitol is a favourite with politicians and celebrities.

OBS

Restauranting is the restaurant business.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Restauration (Généralités)
  • Néologie et emprunts
CONT

La restauration est un secteur économique diversifié qui regroupe d'une part la restauration commerciale avec les restaurants traditionnels, les cafés restaurants, les restaurants à thème, les restaurants rapides à l'anglo-saxonne et à la française et les cafétérias et d'autre part la restauration collective. On compte plus de 120 000 établissements de restauration commerciale. La seule restauration traditionnelle représente environ 60 % de ces établissements.

Underrepresentation of young voters.

CONT

The consequences of global aging reach far beyond the direct impact on public budgets. In the decades to come, Germany’s workforce will shrink, its economy will slow or contract, and its electorate will gray. ... Along with a graying workforce, Germany will have a graying electorate.

CONT

The nation's rapidly graying electorate is creating a distorted national politics in which the issues that dominate campaigns and Capitol Hill reflect an ever-smaller slice of the country.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes électoraux et partis politiques
CONT

La droite se voit en peine de renouveler un électorat vieillissant.

CONT

Les pressions énergiques exercées par un électorat vieillissant pour maintenir les prestations et les régimes de retraite actuels constituent l'un des grands enjeux auxquels le nouveau gouvernement fera face.
