4. Now, translate this short paragraph into English :

 

 Il y a quelques mois, je me sentais piιgι (trapped) et j’ιtais malheureux. Mais je me sens libre depuis deux mois ! Braling 2 me remplace ΰ chaque fois que j’ai besoin de lui, c’est mieux qu’un frθre jumeau, un peu comme un clone. Quand je reviendrai de voyage, je le remettrai dans sa boξte et la vie poursuivra son cours. Ma femme ne remarquera rien car elle ne remarque jamais rien. Voilΰ des annιes que je souffre et que j’attends ce moment, personne ne m’empκchera de partir seul maintenant ! Je n’ai jamais ιtι aussi heureux de ma vie !
