english to french translation

[pembroke]

Could anyone translate the following into French.

"I treasure the friendship that we have, and may it continue for a long time."

[gerry]

Je prise l'amiti� que nous avons, et peux il continuer pendant longtemps.

[IndieSinger]

Je tiens beaucoup � notre amiti�, et qu'elle continue pendant longtemps.

 

tenir beaucoup � qqch. = to value sthg. greatly;

que... [+ subj.] = [here] may it...;

pendant longtemps = for a long time (to come).

 

gerry's is OK, but it sounds very anglicised. Priser is just "to value", "que nous avons" is too English and using pouvoir gives a sense of being able to, rather than hoping/letting something happen.

[maximo]

Je ch�ris notre amiti�; puisse-t'elle durer longtemps.
