Aug 19, 2020 12:30: willy paul changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Cyril Tollari, Yvonne Gallagher, willy paul

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

elle suit des études d'enseignement des religions

Ou : Elle suit un cours d'enseignement religieux (mais je préfère "des religions": le pluriel est plus explicite).
Example sentence:

"l'enseignement des religions dans un contexte laïque..."

Les programmes d'études pour l'enseignement religieux...

Note from asker:
Je ne pense pas qu'il s'agit des études plutôt d'instruction religieuse
Peer comment(s):

disagree B D Finch : You have failed to notice the definite article and the failure to use an apostrophe in the (badly written) source text. A religion's teachings are its "préceptes", not a course of study.

enseignements religieux

Elle suit les enseignements religieux sans participer aux offices religieux.

J'aurais utilisé "religious teachings" et pas la tournure indiquée qui ne semble pas correcte.
Peer comment(s):

disagree B D Finch : The "religion's teachings", with an apostrophe, would be correct English and would mean its "préceptes".//Without the apostrophe, it isn't correct or meaningful English.

Yes it was not put that way.

Elle étudie les fondements des (différentes) religions

comme elle étudie les religions, elle n'a pas trop le temps d'approfondir chaque religion, au début du moins, et s'en tient dans un premier temps aux grandes lignes des religions, à leurs principes fondateurs. C'est pourquoi j'emploie le mot fondements.
Je préfère "des religions " à "religieux", pour bien traduire la pluralité des religions dans ses études, comme dans le texte originel.
Peer comment(s):

neutral willy paul : je n'ai pas l'impression que le contexte justifie ce choix
