Examples from texts

Never had paler and more callous light entered by the large glazed doors, behind which one espied the little slumberous garden with its meagre, wintry lawns.
Jamais clarté plus blême, plus indifférente, n’était entrée par les grandes portes-fenêtres, derrière lesquelles on apercevait le petit jardin endormi, avec ses maigres gazons d’hiver.

The callous indifference was gone; there was now sensibility, hope, desire, and the striving for good, – a strife irregular, interrupted, suspended oft, but yet renewed again.
Son insouciance opiniâtre avait disparu. La sensibilité, l’espoir, le désir d’arriver au bien s’étaient éveillés. La lutte était maintenant commencée; lutte irrégulière, inégale, suspendue souvent, mais toujours reprise.

The whole object of the training to which the negro is put, from the time he is sold in the northern market till he arrives south, is systematically directed towards making him callous, unthinking, and brutal.

In many cases, it is a gradual hardening process on both sides, – the owner growing more and more cruel, as the servant more and more callous.
– Ce n’est la plupart du temps qu’un endurcissement progressif des deux parts. – Le propriétaire devient cruel à proportion que l’esclave devient insensible.

Oh my friend! you, my glory!" she wrote, farther on, "you must indeed love me well to love me still; to love me callous, ungrateful, turned to stone by grief."
O mon ami, vous ma gloire; m’écrivait-elle plus loin, vous devez bien m’aimer pour m’aimer encore, pour m’aimer inerte, ingrate, et pétrifiée par la douleur.

Harris, who is callous in his nature, and not prone to pity, said: "Ah! and now you are going to have a hard time on the river for a change; change is good for everyone.
Harris, qui n’est pas précisément un tendre, lui répondit : « Eh bien ! pour changer tu vas avoir une dure journée sur la rivière. Le changement n’a jamais fait de mal à personne.

Between the folds of the pelisse they gazed upon the fields stretching on both sides of the road, without experiencing that crushing feeling with which far-stretching callous vistas oppress the human affections.
Ils regardaient, à travers les plis de la pelisse, les champs qui s’étendaient aux deux bords de la route, sans éprouver cet écrasement que les larges horizons indifférents font peser sur les tendresses humaines.

And they would fall back into their trance, striving to become callous, and'musing from mom till night on trivial matters, on the fire that refused to bum, on the weather, or on what they were going to have for dinner.
Et ils se rendormaient cherchant à s’hébéter, rêvant vaguement du matin au soir à des puérilités, au feu qui ne brûlait pas, au temps qu’il faisait, à ce qu’ils mangeraient à dîner.

The secret intrigues of men who desire above all things to avoid noise requires special shrewdness, a special aptitude for dealing with small matters, and a patient endurance such as one only finds in persons callous to all passions.
Ces luttes secrètes d’hommes qui veulent avant tout éviter le bruit, demandent une finesse particulière, une aptitude aux petites choses, une patience de gens privés de passions.

Of him her brother thus wrote, speaking of visiting his plantation, on a collecting tour; "He actually made me feel of his fist, which was like a blacksmith's hammer, or a nodule of iron, telling me that it was'calloused with knocking down niggers.'
En parlant de ce misérable, que dans sa tournée de recettes il venait de visiter, il m’écrivait: «Il m’a fait tâter son poing, tout semblable à un marteau de forge ou à une masse de fer, en se vantant qu’il l’avait endurci à terrasser des nègres.

When she saw, on the back and shoulders of the child, great welts and calloused spots, ineffaceable marks of the system under which she had grown up thus far, her heart became pitiful within her.
