It's part of the exercises in the book! And I don't have to ever pronounce it, I just need literary fluency.

Fluency doesn't work that way lasdhfjdls, literary or not. You should start easier, like with a simple grammar French book if you don't know it very well, because French grammar is very finicky and has about a million exceptions to the rules, and if you don't know the grammar rules, it's basically useless to try and translate from English --> French.

I'd get the basics down before you tackled... molecular science.

XD;; Well, uh. I'm just going with the book that was recommended by 2nd year candidate who read it to pass the translation test. So. :F;;; The goal is to be able to translate French to English... And it's all about being able to read it. |D;

And the molecular science passage was at the end of Chapter 1 ;;
