News article translation: Air Sarko One

The Guardian reports on Nicolas Sarkozy’s luxury spendings. Apparently not even multi-millionaires have ovens installed in their private planes.

So is France really that well off or is Nicolas Sarkozy off on one? ‘Planer‘ means to soar, which is what planes do and also to be highly disconnected from reality, which could be said about the French president on this occasion.

Here is the French translation of the David Mitchell’s article for the Guardian and few key-words:

• Avion: plane
• Milliard: billion
• Milliardaire: billionaire
• Atterissage: landing
• Mitonner: simmer
• Monnaie: currency or change
• Contribuable: tax payer
