Déprime ou dépression_dictée_transcription

DÉPRIME OU DÉPRESSION ?

Dictée

On confond souvent la déprime et la dépression. En effet, il est important de différencier ces deux termes.
La déprime est un état passager qui se manifeste par une mauvaise humeur, de la tristesse, de la fatigue, des insomnies, une baisse de motivation, ou encore une perte d'appétit sur le court terme. On peut etre déprimé quand on fait face à des événements difficiles, tels que crise de couple, conflits professionnels, soucis de santé, etc.
En revanche, la dépression est une maladie mentale qui dure. Sur le long terme, la dépression entraîne une vision négative de soi et du monde, accompagnée du sentiment de désespoir et de détresse.

The Step Pyramid of Djoser

A

The pyramids are the most famous monuments of ancient Egypt and still hold enormous interest for people in the present day. These grand, impressive tributes to the memory of the Egyptian kings have become linked with the country even though other cultures, such as the Chinese and Mayan, also built pyramids. The evolution of the pyramid form has been written and argued about for centuries. However, there is no question that, as far as Egypt is concerned, it began with one monument to one king designed by one brilliant architect: the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.

B

Djoser was the first king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt and the first to build in stone. Prior to Djoser’s reign, tombs were rectangular monuments made of dried clay brick, which covered underground passages where the deceased person was buried. For reasons which remain unclear, Djoser’s main official, whose name was Imhotep, conceived of building a taller, more impressive tomb for his king by stacking stone slabs on top of one another, progressively making them smaller, to form the shape now known as the Step Pyramid. Djoser is thought to have reigned for 19 years, but some historians and scholars attribute a much longer time for his rule, owing to the number and size of the monuments he built.

C

The Step Pyramid has been thoroughly examined and investigated over the last century, and it is now known that the building process went through many different stages. Historian Marc Van de Mieroop comments on this, writing ‘Much experimentation was involved, which is especially clear in the construction of the pyramid in the center of the complex. It had several plans … before it became the first Step Pyramid in history, piling six levels on top of one another … The weight of the enormous mass was a challenge for the builders, who placed the stones at an inward incline in order to prevent the monument breaking up.’

Part 2 will be added later today. Stay tuned.
