Sought

[Alpheratz]

Hello,

I would like confirmation of my translation. It's a headline :

PRETTY BOY FLOYD SOUGHT IN KANSAS CITY KILLINGS
=
LE BEAU FLOYD IMPLIQUé DANs LA TUERIE DE KANSAS CITY

Is that right ?

 

[Sbonke]

Isn't it "recherché" ?

 

[Shang Qin Li]

Yes, "recherché" (pour les meurtres à Kansas City...) (or: la série de meurtres...)

 

[sound shift]

"Sought" is the participle of "to seek". I would say "recherché" or "cherché" rather than "impliqué". The first two imply that the police want to question him, while the third implies that there is evidence against him.

Exactly.
But the French use "recherché", not "cherché" in this case.

Merci pour cette rectification, Shang Qin Li.
