Excerpt from short story 'Touch' by Alexi Zetner
"Mama," she asked again, "why didn't you love Dad?"
"I always loved him, sweetheart," she replied, pouring hot water from the dish tub.
She leaned in toward the steam, letting it wash over her face.
"I just didn't know it yet."
French Translation :-
"Mama," demande-elle encore, "pourquoi vous n'avez pas aimé Papa?"
" Je l'ai aimé toujours, ma cherie," elle a repondu, versant l'eau chaude d'un pot.
Elle a penché dans vers la vapeur, le laissant se laver à travers son visage.
"Je ne l'ai pas su encore."
This is my favourite part in this short story. I've tried translating it in french.
Comments regarding improvement in french translation are welcome. : )
