- L'avoine et le blé jaunirent avant d'avoir atteint leur croissance; le soleil incessant brûla l'herbe et les regains de trèfle, et du matin au soir les vaches affamées beuglèrent, la tête appuyée sur les clôtures.The oats and the wheat yellowed before they grew; the unceasing sun burned the grass and the clover bursts, and from morning to evening the hungry cows stewed, with their heads leaning on the fences.B1Maria Chapdelaine
- Ah çà! n'allons pas nous fâcher encore, et reprendre ces façons d'ogre affamé.That's it! Don't get angry again, and take back those hungry ogre ways.B2Le Chevalier de Mornac
- Il continua de faire élever la fameuse digue qui devait affamer La Rochelle; en attendant, il jeta les yeux sur cette malheureuse ville, qui renfermait tant de misère profonde et tant d’héroïques vertus, et, se rappelant le mot de Louis XI, son prédécesseur politique, comme lui-même était le prédécesseur de Robespierre, il murmura cette maxime du compère de Tristan: «Diviser pour régner.»He continued to raise the famous dike that was to starve La Rochelle; in the meantime, he looked at this unfortunate city, which contained so much deep misery and so much heroic virtues, and, remembering the word of Louis XI, his political predecessor, as he himself was Robespierre's predecessor, he murmured this maxim of Tristan's companion: "Dividing to rule."B2Les Trois Mousquetaires
- Les Sauvages dans les bois disaient que c'étaient les âmes de leurs ancêtres qui voulaient revenir sur la terre; et ils prenaient leurs fusils et faisaient des décharges en l'air comme pour les effrayer et les faire rentrer dans leur céleste demeure, craignant que leur nombre, s'ils descendaient ici-bas, n'épuisât le gibier et n'affamât le pays.The Indians in the woods said that it was the souls of their forefathers who wanted to return to the earth; and they took their rifles and made discharges in the air as if to scare them and to bring them into their heavenly habitation, fearing that their number, if they went down here, would exhaust the game and starve the land.C1Histoire du Canada, tome I
