French to English: Les Fonctionnements limites
Source text - French Le fonctionnement limite ne présente pas de caractère spécifique et les symptômes peuvent être très variables et prendre des allures tantôt névrotiques, tantôt psychotiques. On retiendra pourtant que c'est le champ des dépressions, avec un sentiment souvent de vide intérieur et d'ennui, qui laisse émerger une grande angoisse. Pour calmer celle-ci et pouir combler ce vide interne, le sujet va déveloper des stratégies. Il peut se servir des autres, dont il devient très dépendant, ou de certaines addictions comme la nourriture (boulimie), l'alcool, la drogue et le sexe. Le sujet fait inconsciemment un travail de vidage de sa pensée pour ne pas la laisser venir dans sa psyché. Il a une grande peur de son monde interne, mal sécondarisé, qu'il fuit sans cesse. Il fait donc preuve d'une faible capacité de mentalisation et de réflexion sur soi. Impulsif, il laisse libre court à ses pulsions à travers de multiples passages à l'acte.
Translation - English Borderline personality disorders have no characteristics which are specific to them. Their symptoms vary a great deal. Sometimes these symptoms are neurotic in nature and at others, psychotic. It is worth noting however, that sufferers experience depression, often accompanied by feelings of emptiness and of boredom, leading to intense anxiety. Subjects will often develop strategies to relieve their anxiety and to fill their inner void. These may involve using other people as a crutch, thereby becoming very dependent on them, or the development of addictions to food (bulimia), alcohol, drugs or sex. Boderline subjects unconsciously empty their minds of thoughts in order to prevent these thoughts from impinging on their psyches. They have a great fear of their inner world which they have trouble getting into perspective and they are forever running away from it. They therefore have a limited capacity to conceptualise things and to engage in self-reflexion. They are impulsive and often act out.

English to French: Text about monetary policy
Source text - English Monetary policy is one of the two principal means (the other being fiscal policy) by which government authorities in a market economy regularly influence the pace and direction of overall economic activity, importantly including not only the level of aggregate output and employment but also the general rate at which prices rise or fall. The ability of central bankso carry out monetary policy stems from their monopoly position as suppliers of their own liabilities, which banks in turn need (either as legally required reserves or as balances for settling interbank claims) in order to create the money and credit used by the public in everyday economic transactions. Important developments both in research and in the actual conduct of monetary policy in recent decades have revolved around (...)

Monetary Policy

Translation - French La politique monétaire constitue un des moyens principaux (l’autre étant la politique budgétaire) grâce à laquelle les autorités gouvernementales d’une économie du marché influent sur l’intensité de l’activité économique ainsi que sur sa direction. Il est important de noter que ceci comprend non seulement l’ensemble de la production et l’emploi mais aussi le taux général de l’augmentation ou de la chute des prix. La capacité des banques centrales de décider la politique monétaire d’un pays, découle de leur monopole en tant que fournisseurs de leurs propres passifs, dont dépendent les banques (soit sous forme de réserves imposées par la loi, soit sous forme de montants destinés à la liquidation de dettes interbancaires) pour générer les fonds et les crédits dont le public a besoin pour effectuer ses transactions quotidiennes. Des développements importants, et dans le domaine de la recherche, et dans le domaine de l’application de la politique monétaire, tournant autour (...)
