Q

Traduire la phrase suivante:

Mes écouteurs ne veulent pas fonctionner.

A

My earphones won’t work.

NOTE: “won’t” est la contraction de “will not” et est normalement utilisée comme négation au futur.

Cependant, dans ce cas, c’est utilisé pour dire que quelqu’un ou quelque chose refuse de faire ce que l’on attend d’eux.

Autres exemples:

I don’t know what the problem is but my car won’t start.
I told my boyfriend to take better care of his health but he won’t listen to me.
