It is well, at first, to know happiness as men conceive it, so that, later, we may have good reason for preferring the happiness of our choice.
Tâchons d'éprouver d'abord le bonheur selon les hommes, pour lui préférer ensuite, en connaissance de cause, le bonheur selon nous-mêmes.

It is indeed difficult to conceive of any fiduciary relationship where the right to confidentiality would not exist with respect to such information.

Physicists, however, have for a long time been led to conceive for heat a zero which does indeed deserve the name of absolute which is given to it, since the bodies brought to this temperature would no longer retain any calorific energy.
Les physiciens furent cependant conduits depuis longtemps à concevoir pour la température un zéro qui mériterait bien le nom d'absolu par lequel on le désigne, puisque les corps amenés à ce zéro ne contiendraient plus aucune énergie calorifique.

" Today," said he, you conceive beauty to consist in a long, slim, attenuated, almost angular figure; but at the time of the Renaissance the type of the beautiful was very different.
« Mais l’idée de beauté varie. Vous la mettez dans la stérilité de la femme, aux formes longues et grêles, aux flancs rétrécis. Pendant toute la Renaissance, elle a été dans la femme saine et forte, aux larges hanches, aux seins puissants.

It is necessary to have heard one of those malcontents who ill digest what they read, haranguing the company in some provincial taproom, in order to conceive the degree of hateful folly at which Macquart had arrived.
Il faut avoir entendu, en province, dans quelque estaminet, pérorer un de ces envieux qui ont mal digéré leurs lectures, pour s’imaginer à quel degré de sottise méchante en était arrivé Macquart.
