Then, between the church and the heavy Altieri palace which the "improvers" had not dared to demolish, the street became narrower, and one entered into cold, damp shade.
Puis, entre l’église et le lourd palais Altieri, qu’on n’avait point osé jeter bas, la rue s’étranglait, on entrait dans une ombre humide, glaciale.

It is very dangerous to capture a trench, but to defend it afterwards is sometimes even more perilous, for as a matter of fact it is usually more or less demolished by the howitzer shells and must be repaired under the enemy's fire.
Prendre une tranchée est fort périlleux; la défendre après l'avoir prise l'est parfois davantage. Elle se trouve généralement, en effet, plus ou moins démolie par les obus et il faut la réparer sous le feu de l'ennemi.

Hardly anything is left visible in the night, but at the exit from the hole we see a disorder of beams which flounder in the widened trench—some demolished dug-out.
On n’y voit guère dans la nuit. On voit cependant, à la sortie du trou, un désordre de poutres qui se débattent dans la tranchée élargie : quelque abri démoli.

Had this occurred in Germany the offending stories would have been demolished within twenty-four hours, if by some unlikely chance they had been allowed to be built.
En Allemagne, les étages non réglementaires eussent été démolis dans les vingt-quatre heures si, par un invraisemblable hasard, ils avaient pu être construits.

Encore, dans Rome, les sociétés qui s’étaient formées pour la construction des grandes voies, au travers des vieux quartiers malsains abattus, vendaient ou louaient leurs immeubles, réalisaient de gros bénéfices.

But little by little, despite himself, the light of science dawned upon him, an ensemble of proven phenomena, which demolished dogmas and left within him nothing of the things which as a priest he should have believed.
Mais, peu à peu, malgré lui la clarté scientifique se faisait, un ensemble de phénomènes prouvés qui démolissaient les dogmes, qui ne laissaient rien en lui des faits auxquels il devait croire.
