Chapitre 4 - Commentaires d'images On observe dans l'illustration, les conséquences du Brexit : - entirely without immigrant labour : fabriqué sans aucun travail d'immigrés - le client a l'air horrifié, à la fois par le plat et les propos du serveur : the client looks horrified by the dish and the waiter's words - le plat servi est seulement l'image d'un plat : the dish served is only the image of a dish - la pénurie de travailleurs : labour shortage - il est plus difficile pour les étrangers de venir travailler au Royaume-Uni : it is more difficult for foreigners to work in the UK than it was before Brexit - la pénurie de travailleurs entraîne une pénurie des biens essentiels : shortage of workers leads to shortage of essential goods. À noter que le mot shortage peut passer de la catégorie indénombrable à dénombrable et peut donc prendre le pluriel - une pénurie de savoir-faire : shortage of know-how - des conséquences désastreuses : dire consequences - le Premier ministre lui-même remplace un serveur : British Prime Minister, himself, is compensating for the lack of waiters Proposition de commentaire The cartoon outlines some dire consequences of Brexit which have made it difficult for foreigners to work in the UK. The worst labour shortage has been felt since the late 1990s. Many US workers returned to their homeland following the Brexit vote. The Prime Minister himself, Boris Johnson, is personally compensating for the lack of waiters, serving a food order in an ordinary pub. However, the plate only contains a small piece of paper with only the image of a dish and not an actual dish. The customer is both extremely surprised to be facing Boris Johnson and horrified because there is no more real food to be eaten. The shortage of workers have led to shortage of essential goods and basic know-how. Furthermore, Boris Johnson certifies that the dish was " entirely made without immigrant labor " as it is stated in the speech bubble. The client cannot think there is anything marvelous about that. 153 mots 91
