Plural Orages

Question

Bonjour RON.
I referenced this lesson because I was looking for an answer for the text in the Week 78 B1 writing challenge 'Weather Forcast"  'after a rough night which will likely be punctuated by thunderstorms' =
après une nuit agitée qui devrait être ponctuée d’orages,'.
I thought it might be from the ponctuée  but I think its followed by par not de, I don't see any adjectives or negative sentences.

Accepted Answer

Hi Michael, after conferring with a native speaker, both options are indeed correct:  1) Une nuit ponctuée par des orages 2) Une nuit ponctueée d'orages.  Greetings, -- Chris (not a native speaker).

Answer

Sorry , the above goes with the q&a  'article contractions' on the 15 October.

Answer

Bonsoir Michael,
So I ran the English phrase through Collins-Robert online translator as well as google translate.  Here are the results, in order:
1)  après une nuit agitée qui va probablement être ponctuée d’orages 
2)  après une nuit difficile qui sera probablement ponctuée par des orages
I do not typically use online translation except to get a sense in phrase that I am totally unfamiliar with.  One can see from these two phrases the variations in the sense of the phrase as well as the point in question: d'orages, par des orages.  
I agree with your observation, there is no negation so to me the d'orages doesn't fit.  I like the second though, but I am still uncertain if this would be a correct reflection of the translation.
Of course, it is possible that both translations are acceptable.
Bonne chance et merci.
