• Il avait une figure grasse aux traits fins, des yeux tranquilles et doux, des mains blanches; la tête un peu de côté, il souriait poliment, sans ironie ni gêne, sous les regards braqués.He had a greasy figure with fine strokes, quiet and gentle eyes, white hands; his head a little sided, he smiled politely, without irony or discomfort, under the pointed gazes.B1Maria Chapdelaine
• Mais puisqu’il vous gêne, ce jeune fou…But since he's bothering you, this young fool...B2Les Trois Mousquetaires
• Mornac et sa femme, qui savaient que Jolliet était quelque peu timide, et qui ne s'étaient jamais doutés un instant de l'amour du jeune homme, crurent que c'était un reste de gêne qui le faisait rougir ainsi, et tous les deux rivalisèrent d'entrain pour le mettre à son aise.Mornac and his wife, who knew that Jolliet was somewhat shy, and who had never doubted for a moment the young man's love, believed that it was a remnant of embarrassment that made him blush like this, and both competed with each other to make him feel at ease.B2Le Chevalier de Mornac
• Dès que les enfans pouvaient marcher, on les affranchissait de toute gêne; on les abandonnait à leur jeune et capricieuse volonté[69].As soon as the children could walk, they were freed from any embarrassment; they were abandoned to their young and capricious will.[69]C1Histoire du Canada, tome I
