Bonjour
Après quelques hésitations, je me lance...
Jane wants to do some shopping and she needs particularly vegetable and fruit. She sees beautiful lettuce but she wanders how much they cost there isn’t price.
Even so she takes one, so tomatoes, carrots, peaches, grape, and one melon.
At the cash-box she takes one banknote of £ fifty because she has no cash and she hasn’t her credit-card.
Home coming she goes to post office and buys some stamps.
She puts her shopping in the fridge except melon which will be too cold to her taste.
Merci à toutes les personnes qui font vivre ce site.

Bonjour,
Merci pour cet intéressant exercice.
Jane wants to run errands and what she needs most are fruit and vegetables. She notices beautiful lettuces but wonders how much they cost because they aren’t priced. Still, she picks one up along with tomatoes, carrots, peaches, grapes as well as one melon.
At the checkout she pays with a 50 pound note for she has no change and didn’t take her credit card. On her way home she stops by at the post office to buy stamps. Then, she stores what she has bought into the fridge, except the melon which would be too chill to her taste.

Hello Lucile,
This is my answer :
Jane wants to go shopping and vegetables and fruits are what she needs the most. She sees beautiful lettuces but she wonders how much they cost because there is no price.She still takes one, as well as tomatoes, cartots, peaches, grapes and melon.
At the checkout, she gives a 50-pound note because she does not have any change and she has not taken her credit card. On the return, she stops at the post office to buy stamps. She puts away her purchases in the fridge, except the melon which would be too cold for her.

Hello,
Jane wants to go to shopping and what she needs most are vegetables and fruit. She sees beautiful salads but she wonders how mush do they cost because there is no price. She takes one anyway, along with tomatoes, carrots, peaches, grapes, and a melon.
On the checkout, she gives £50 because she doesn't have money and she didn't take his credit card.
On the way back she goes to the post-office and buys some stamps. She stores what she bought in the fridge, except the melon that would be then too cold to her liking.

Hello Lucile,
Jane wants to do some shopping ; what she needs most are fruit and vegetables. She glances at some beautiful
lettuces but wonders how much they cost since the price is not indicated. However, she takes one plus tomatoes, carrots, peaches, grapes and a melon too.
At the cash desk she pays with a 50 pounds note because she hasn't got any change and has forgotten her credit card. On her way back, she stops at the post office to buy some stamps.
She puts all her shopping into the fridge except the melon that would be too cold to her taste.
Thank you Lucile for this summer exercise so good to prepare us to the new term.Hope you have nice holidays.

Hello,
et merci à toutes et tous pour vos efforts
Vous avez réalisé de bonnes traductions dans l'ensemble, certaines très bonnes, d'autre moins bonnes, mais j'ai vu aussi que des nouveaux venus se sont lancés dans l'aventure, ce qui est courageux.
Je vous laisse faire votre auto-correction, sachant que si vous avez des questions vous pouvez me contacter.
Quelques commentaires d'abord:
-avoir besoin de = to need qui est transitif en anglais ( you need something), intransitif en français ( on a besoin de quelque chose). C’est pourquoi ‘ce dont’ se traduit simplement par ‘what’. Ce dont elle a besoin= what she needs.
-Le plus est un superlatif à valeur d’adverbe ici = most sans article ou the most avec article
-La façon de dire la plus courante est ‘fruit and vegetables’, même si j’ai inversé l’ordre des mots en français
-On peut employer fruit ou fruits ; cela n’a pas trop d’importance en fait et c’est une ‘bataille’ de grammairiens
-On the checkout/at the checkout/at checkout au choix
-To her taste/for her taste sont corrects tous les 2
-50 pound note/fifty-pound note/fifty pound note/£50 note mais pas 50 livres note
-Attention au style indirect après ‘she wonders how much’…ce n’est pas une question directe
-Après le verbe ‘go’ on emploie une préposition de mouvement ‘to/into’ mais pas ‘at’
-Lettuce peut être dénombrable ou indénombrable
En prime quelques commentaires d'un de nos chers amis américains
pour qui c'est aussi un exercice de traduction:-le plus besoin: well, do we say "most" or "mostly"? That is the question...
-salades: do we mean "lettuce" or "salad" (of which lettuce is often an ingredient).
-For some reason that I don't know the answer to, we say "fruit and vegetables" instead of "vegetables and fruit". It's not wrong to say vegetables and fruit, but the other is more common. I looked up the word "fruit" in 5 different BE dictionaries and the examples given all said "fruit and vegetables", so it appears to be the same in Britain.
-Jane veut aller faire des courses et ce dont elle a le plus besoin ce sont des légumes et des fruits. Elle voit de belles salades mais elle se demande combien elles coûtent car il n’y a pas de prix. Elle en prend une quand même, ainsi que des tomates, des carottes, des pêches, du raisin et un melon.
Jane wants to go shopping and mostly what she needs are fruit and vegetables.
Jane wants to go shopping and fruit and vegetables are what she needs most (of all).
Jane wants to go shopping and she needs fruit and vegetables the most.
-It seems like "salades" might be referring to "lettuce" rather than "salads".She sees some beautiful (heads of) lettuce ... (In the United States, when we talk about "lettuce" we usually refer to them as "heads of lettuce". Look at the beautiful heads of lettuce.
I tried to search "lettuce" and "BBC" to see what the Brits might say and only turned up this article: "Lettuce nose-stuffer avoids jail" -It looks like "At the checkout" or "At checkout" is most common in BE when I looked it up. I prefer "At checkout" because this has more a sense of "while checking out" and "At the checkout" has more the sense of "At the checkout counter/location". But either is OK.
At checkout she pays with...
-She puts what she has bought in the fridge, except the melon ...for her taste.
to my taste/for my taste. I would choose "for my taste" in this instance. I found this article on the web:
Lien Internet
Note that the person who answers (Dozy) is from the UK, so it appears to be OK in BE.

Suite....
-It seems as there is some disagreement as to whether the word "fruits" is correct. Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries do not include it. Macmillan and Longman do. Collins and Chambers include it for expressions like "the fruits of their labour/labor", but chambers gives the example "the fruit of his labour" without the "s". I only bring it up because several of your online participants have used "fruits".
Lien Internet
-I also found this response from "Alan" in the UK:
'Fruit' is the overall description and 'fruits' refers to individual types/names of fruit. We can say: Fruit is good for your health but We have a wide selection of fruits on the menu - apples, bananas, grapes, melons ....
Alan
Lien Internet
-Personally, I think you could easily say "we have a wide selection of fruit on the menu..."
But there doesn't seem to be any consensus. Both forms are common in AE, but in our supermarkets, the signs usually say "Fruits and Vegetables". The choice could partly be because it just looks more uniform for them both to have the 's'. I haven't found any definitive rule about it, however.
-There is also this discussion:

Comme vous voyez les discussions sont parfois lancées sur des détails, mais toujours très intéressantes;
thanks a lot dear
Voici ma proposition:
Jane wants to go shopping, and fruit and vegetables are what she needs most. She can see beautiful lettuces but she wonders how much they are as there is no price for them. She still takes one of them, as well as tomatoes, carrots, peaches, grapes and a melon.
On the checkout she pays with a 50 pound note because she hasn’t got any change and has not taken her credit card with her. On her way back home she pops into the post office and buys some stamps. She puts what she has bought in the fridge, except the melon which would then be too cold for her taste.
A bientôt peut-être pour une nouvelle aventure!

Jane wants to go shopping and what she needs the most are fruits and vegetables. She notices nice salads but she wonders how much they cost because there is no price on them. She still takes one of them, along with tomatoes, carrots, peaches, grapes and one melon.
At the check-out, she gives a £50 note as she doesn't have neither spare coins nor her credit card. On her way back, she goes down to the postoffice and buys some stamps. She puts all her purchases into the fridge, except the melon which would be too cold to her taste.
