I had some French in high school, oh so long ago, but could only make out about a third of what you wrote (I never was any good at it). babelfish.altavista.com didn't have any trouble though:

"I would give a dollar for that!"
"I would buy that for a dollar!"

Which to choose? Which to choose? "to give", if generous. "to buy", very commercial. Thank you very much!

"to write in English I must initially include/understand in French. To include/understand French, I must initially think of in Arabic." (the complaint of one of my Syrian colleagues)
