Examples from texts

Her hair was scanty and black, her eyes and cheeks hollow, her arms thin, her chest narrow, showing a battle between life and death, a duel without truce in which the mother had so far been victorious.
Ses cheveux rares et noirs, ses veux caves, ses joues creuses, ses bras amaigris, sa poitrine étroite annonçaient un débat entre la vie et la mort, duel sans trêve où jusqu’alors la comtesse était victorieuse.

Judith, the chest itself would buy your father's freedom, or Iroquois cur'osity isn't as strong as red-skin cur'osity, in general; especially in the matter of woods."
Judith, la caisse à elle seule paierait la rançon de votre père ; ou bien la curiosité de l’Iroquois n’est pas aussi grande que celle d’une Peau-Rouge en général, et surtout en fait de bois.

The rent pistol would have been the most likely to reveal the secret, but this was placed by the side of its fellow, and all were pressed down as before, some half a dozen packages in the bottom of the chest not having been opened at all.
Le pistolet crevé était ce qui aurait pu surtout révéler le secret ; mais il fut mis à côté de l’autre, et le tout fut placé, comme auparavant, dans le fond de la caisse où se trouvaient une demi-douzaine de paquets qui n’avaient pas été ouverts.

Affecting, however, not to notice the impression she had made, the girl seated herself with the stateliness of a queen, desiring that the chest might be looked into, further.

A head appeared, a chest was defined, the whole joined to two legs, which, though out of proportion, would nevertheless have been called legs in all languages, both ancient and modern.
Une tête surgit, une poitrine se dessina, le tout emmanché de deux jambes, qui, pour être démesurées, n’en auraient pas moins été des jambes dans toutes les langues, tant anciennes que modernes.

The huge Red Cross sergeant, in a hunter's chestnut waistcoat which gives him the chest of a gorilla, is detaching the pendent entrails twisted among the beams of the shattered woodwork.
Le vaste sergent infirmier, en gilet de chasse marron, ce qui lui donne un torse de gorille, ôte des boyaux et des viscères qui pendent, entortillés autour des poutres de la charpente défoncée.

Her dishevelled hair was twined round the leg of a chair, and her hands had so firmly gripped hold of the chest of drawers, that it was pulled from its place and now stood in front of the door.
