And a fissure was there, a scarcely perceptible crack that had rent the old, sworn friendships, and some day would make them crumble into a thousand pieces.
La fissure était là, la fente à peine visible, qui avait fêlé les vieilles amitiés jurées, et qui devait les faire craquer, un jour, en mille pièces.

As a teenager, in addition to marijuana, he used acid, mushrooms and alcohol, and eventually at the age of 17, he started using crack cocaine and developed a serious dependency.
À l’adolescence, il a consommé non seulement de la marijuana, mais aussi de l’acide, des champignons magiques et de l’alcool, et par la suite, lorsqu’il avait 17 ans, il a commencé à consommer du crack et a développé une grave dépendance.
The men looked at each other, and the "come" was repeated, with a smart crack of the whip which the driver carried in his hands.
Les hommes s’entre-regardèrent; le allons! fut répété, et Simon fit claquer le fouet qu’il tenait à la main.

Then I took a quarter of a lentonite brick, and buried it near the door below one of the sacks in a crack of the floor, fixing the detonator in it.
Puis je pris le quart d'un bloc de cheddite, y adaptai le détonateur, et l'enfouis sous l'un des sacs voisins de la porte, dans une fissure du plancher.

I guessed we could not be very far from the front, for the noise of guns sounded very near, both the sharp crack of the field-pieces, and the deeper boom of the howitzers.
Je devinai que nous n’étions pas très éloignés du front, car le grondement de l’artillerie paraissait tout proche – détonations brusques de pièces de campagne et celles plus profondes des howitzers.

I'll just make sartain of your rifle, and then come back and do you what sarvice I can. Though here I can't stay much longer, as the crack of three rifles will be apt to bring some of your devils down upon me."
Je vais m’assurer de votre mousquet, et je reviendrai vous rendre tous les services que je pourrai, quoique je ne puisse rester ici longtemps, car le bruit de trois coups de feu peut faire tomber sur moi quelques-uns de vos démons.

You must not think, girl, however, that the Pathfinder is in the habit of letting prowlers around the fort beat a retreat without hearing the crack of his rifle."
N’allez pourtant pas croire, Mabel, que Pathfinder soit dans l’habitude de laisser les drôles qui viennent rôder autour du fort battre en retraite sans avoir entendu le son de sa carabine.

' There was a big crack in the ceiling: this crack, which was oozing with damp, was bordered with rust-coloured spots, and the bare cold plaster was thus divided, from one end to the other, by a yellow-looking streak.
Une crevasse traversait le plafond; cette crevasse suintant d’humidité, se bordait de taches couleur de rouille, et le plâtre, nu et froid, se trouvait ainsi coupé, d’un bout à un autre, par une bande jaunâtre.
And now, having drained his body, and hearing its frame-work crack, they abandoned him like rats, whom instinct warns of the approaching collapse of a house, the foundations of which they have undermined.
Puis, aujourd'hui, l'ayant vidé, entendant le craquement de la charpente, ils filaient, pareils à ces rats que leur instinct avertit de l'éboulement prochain des maisons, dont ils ont émietté les murs.

I never see the nigger, yet, I couldn't bring down with one crack," said he, bringing his fist down so near to the face of Tom that he winked and drew back.
Je n’en ai pas encore vu un, que je n’aie pu jeter bas d’un seul coup. Il ramena ce redoutable poing si près du visage de Tom, que celui-ci sourcilla et se recula un peu.

And things are worse even at La Cauchois', for, as she has nobody at all to mind the children when she goes out working, she leaves them tied in their cradles, for fear lest they should tumble out and crack their skulls.
C’est encore mieux chez la Cauchois, qui, n’ayant personne pour les garder, les attache dans les berceaux, de peur qu’ils ne se cassent la tête en tombant par terre.

a slight crack is not considered a defect provided that the kernel is still protected.
une légère fissure n'est pas considérée comme un défaut si l'amande reste protégée.
Twice already had he failed to be ready for the Salon, for invariably, at the last moment, when he hoped to have finished in a few sittings, he found some void, felt his composition crack and crumble beneath his fingers.
Déjà deux fois, il n’avait pu être prêt pour le Salon; car toujours, au dernier moment, lorsqu’il espérait terminer en quelques séances, des trous se déclaraient, il sentait la composition craquer et crouler sous ses doigts.
