Examples from texts

Another is a dried emptiness flat on its belly, the back in tatters that almost flutter, the hands, feet, and face enrooted in the soil.
L’autre, vide, sec, est aplati sur le ventre, le dos en loques quasi flottant, les mains, les pieds et la face enracinés dans le sol.

"Non, pas Kam'rad!" And in pantomime they drive a bayonet forward, at belly-height, drawing it back then with the help of a foot.
« Non, pas kam’rad ! » et ils exécutent la mimique de la baïonnette qu’on lance devant soi, à hauteur du ventre, puis qu’on retire, d’en bas, en s’aidant du pied.

Two obscure forms pass in the dark, several paces from us; they are talking together in low voices—"You bet, old chap, instead of listening to him, I shoved my bayonet into his belly so that I couldn't haul it out."
Deux êtres obscurs passent dans l’ombre, à quelques pas de nous ; ils s’entretiennent à demi-voix. – Tu parles, mon vieux, qu’au lieu de l’écouter, j’y ai foutu ma baïonnette dans l’ventre, que j’pouvais plus la déclouer.

We stride over the frigid remains, slimy and pale, that suggest the belly of a stranded crocodile; and it is difficult to do so, by reason of the soft and slippery ground.
On voit se bomber à travers ce voile humide la poitrine et le ventre couverts d’une chemise. On enjambe cette dépouille glacée, visqueuse et claire comme le ventre d’un vague saurien échoué – et cela est ardu à cause du terrain mou et glissant.

The man is on his belly; his loins are rent from hip to hip by a deep furrow; his head is half turned round; we see a sunken eye; and on temples, cheek and neck a kind of green moss is growing.
» L’homme est sur le ventre ; il a les reins fendus d’une hanche à l’autre par un profond sillon ; sa tête est à demi retournée ; on voit l’œil creux et sur la tempe, la joue et le cou, une sorte de mousse verte a poussé.

"I'm going to die." The echo came at that moment exactly from Paradis' neighbor, who no doubt had examined the wound in his belly. "I'm sorry on account of my children."
– J’vais mourir, fit en ce moment précis, comme un écho, le voisin de Paradis, qui sans doute avait regardé la blessure de son ventre, je l’regrette à cause de mes enfants.

Barque in his rigidity seems immoderately long, his arms lie closely to the body, his chest has sunk, his belly is hollow as a basin.
Barque, raidi, semble démesuré. Ses bras sont collés le long de son corps, sa poitrine est effondrée, son ventre creusé en cuvette.
