LingQ Mini Stories, 59 - Kitabu cha Karatasi au kitabu pepe

Maria alikuwa akisoma vitabu vya karatasi tu. Mary used to only read paper books. Maria ne lisait que des livres papier.

Kwa muda mrefu wa maisha yake wazo la kitabu cha kielektroniki halikuwepo hata. For most of her life the idea of an electronic book didn't even exist. Pendant la majeure partie de sa vie, l’idée d’un livre électronique n’existait même pas.

Vifaa vyote vya kusoma vilivyotumiwa vilichapishwa kwenye karatasi. All reading materials used to be printed on paper.

Walakini, sasa kuna njia zingine za kusoma. However, now there are other ways to read. Cependant, il existe désormais d’autres façons d’étudier.

Katika miaka ya hivi karibuni, watu zaidi na zaidi wameanza kusoma vitabu kwenye vifaa vya rununu. In recent years, more and more people have started to read books on mobile devices. Ces dernières années, de plus en plus de personnes ont commencé à lire des livres sur des appareils mobiles.

Watu wanaweza kusoma kwenye simu zao, tarakilishi zao za mkononi, au kwa visomaji vilivyojitolea vya vitabu pepe kama vile Kindle, wakitaka. People can read on their phones, their tablets, or on dedicated e-book readers like Kindle, if they want to. Les gens peuvent lire sur leur téléphone, leur ordinateur portable ou avec des lecteurs de livres électroniques dédiés comme Kindle, s'ils le souhaitent.

Maria anapendelea urahisi wa kusoma kwenye kifaa cha rununu, kwa sababu yeye huwa na nyenzo zake za kusoma pamoja naye. Mary prefers the convenience of reading on a mobile device, because she always has her reading material with her.

Anaona kwamba vitabu vya kielektroniki vinamsaidia sana anaposafiri, kwa kuwa kubeba vitabu kwenye mizigo yake kunaweza kumsumbua. She finds e-books are especially handy when she is traveling, since carrying books in her luggage can be inconvenient. Elle trouve que les livres électroniques sont très utiles lorsqu'elle voyage, car transporter des livres dans ses bagages peut s'avérer fastidieux.

Mumewe Yeshua, hata hivyo, anapendelea kushikilia kitabu cha karatasi cha kitamaduni mikononi mwake. Her husband George, however, prefers to hold a traditional paper book in his hands. Son mari Yeshua, cependant, préfère tenir entre ses mains un livre papier traditionnel.

Yeye huona tu kuwa ni uzoefu mzuri zaidi na unaokubalika wa kusoma. He simply finds it a more comfortable and agreeable reading experience. Il trouve simplement que c'est une expérience de lecture plus positive et plus enrichissante.

Yeshua pia anapenda kutumia muda katika maduka ya vitabu na maktaba, ili tu kuona ni aina gani za vitabu vinavyopatikana. George also likes spending time in bookstores and libraries, just to see what kinds of books are available. Yeshua aime aussi passer du temps dans les librairies et les bibliothèques, juste pour voir quels types de livres sont disponibles.

Yeshua anaelekea kununua vitabu, lakini Maria anaandika tu majina ya vitabu vinavyovutia, ili aweze kuagiza toleo la kitabu pepe mtandaoni na kulisoma kwenye kifaa chake kinachobebeka. George tends to buy books, but Mary just takes note of the names of interesting books, so that she can order the ebook version online and read it on her portable device.

Hapa kuna hadithi sawa iliyosimuliwa kwa njia tofauti. Here is the same story told in a different way. Voici la même histoire racontée d’une manière différente.

Kwa miaka mingi, nilisoma vitabu vya karatasi tu. For many years, I only read paper books.

Kwa muda mrefu wa maisha yangu wazo la kitabu cha kielektroniki halikuwepo hata. For most of my life the idea of an electronic book didn't even exist.

Nyenzo zote za kusoma zilichapishwa kwenye karatasi. All reading materials were printed on paper. Tous les supports d'étude ont été imprimés sur papier.

Hata hivyo, miaka michache iliyopita, niligundua njia mpya za kusoma. However, a few years ago, I discovered new ways to read.

Niligundua kuwa watu zaidi na zaidi walikuwa wanaanza kusoma vitabu kwenye vifaa vya rununu. I noticed that more and more people were starting to read books on mobile devices.

Niliona watu wakisoma kwenye simu zao, tarakilishi zao za mkononi, au visomaji vilivyojitolea vya vitabu pepe kama vile Kindle. I saw people reading on their phones, their tablets, or on dedicated ebook readers like Kindle. J'ai vu des gens lire sur leur téléphone, leur ordinateur portable ou des liseuses de livres électroniques dédiées comme le Kindle.

Lazima niseme kwamba sasa napendelea urahisi wa kusoma kwenye kifaa cha rununu, kwa sababu mimi huwa na nyenzo zangu za kusoma kila wakati. I must say that I now prefer the convenience of reading on a mobile device, because I always have my reading material with me.

Nimegundua kwamba vitabu pepe ni rahisi sana wakati wa kusafiri, kwa kuwa kubeba vitabu kwenye mizigo yangu inaweza kuwa vigumu. I have found that e-books are especially handy when traveling, since carrying books in my luggage can be inconvenient.

Anasema kwamba kunampa uzoefu wa kusoma vizuri zaidi na unaokubalika. He says that he finds them a more comfortable and agreeable reading experience.

Yeye ni wa kizamani tu kwa maoni yangu. He is just old-fashioned in my view.

Yeshua hutumia muda mwingi katika maduka ya vitabu na maktaba, ili tu kuona ni aina gani ya vitabu vinavyopatikana. George spends too much time in bookstores and libraries, just to see what kinds of books are available.

Anaweza kununua kitabu dukani baada ya kuvinjari. He might buy a book in the store after browsing. Il peut acheter un livre dans le magasin après l'avoir parcouru.

Walakini, napendelea kuandika tu majina ya vitabu vya kupendeza. However, I prefer to just write down the names of interesting books.
