forebear

Between these two royal visits there was the happy decision taken by your forebear in 1914 to establish diplomatic relations with the Holy See, the cordial nature of which has continued unfailingly to this day.
Et entre ces deux visites royales était venue s’insérer, en 1914, l’heureuse décision prise par votre aïeul de nouer avec le Saint-Siège des relations diplomatiques, dont la cordialité ne s’est pas démentie jusqu’à ce jour.
The two vary in exact correlation with each other: if citizen A's right expands or contracts, so too does citizen B's duty to perform, forebear or avoid within the context of the transaction.
Les variations de ces deux éléments sont en stricte corrélation : si le droit de A s'agrandit ou diminue, le devoir de B d'agir en conséquence — exécuter, supporter, ou éviter, selon le contexte de la transaction — fait de même.
Like its forebear, the 356 Speedster from 1954, the 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster from 1988 also provided a purist driving experience, with its low windscreen, spartan interior and emergency soft top.
911 Speedster Tout comme son ancêtre, la 356 Speedster de 1954, la 911 Carrera 3.2 Speedster de 1988, dotée d'un pare-brise abaissé, d'un intérieur rudimentaire et de la capote repliable de secours, offre des sensations de conduite épurées.
