The canoe adrift being directed by no such intelligence, pursued its proper way, and grounded on a small sunken rock, at the distance of three or four yards from the shore.
La pirogue abandonnée à elle-même continua à dériver, et toucha sur un petit rocher à fleur d’eau à vingt ou vint-cinq pieds du rivage.

And, finally, the Peeping Toms, professionals in the pay of arms manufacturers, specialists who observed the fighting from a reasonable distance, took photos, noted the performance of weapons, filmed death.
Enfin, les «voyeurs», ces professionnels engagés par les entreprises d'armement, des spécialistes qui, d'une distance raisonnable, suivaient les combats, prenaient des photos, notaient les performances des armes, filmaient la mort.

He bore her away; her sobs were lost in the distance, and I fancied I saw them both-he, tall and strong, pressing her to his breast; she, fainting, powerless and conquered, following him wherever he listed.
Il l'emporta, les sanglots se perdirent, et je m'imaginais les voir, lui grand et solide, l'emmenant sur sa poitrine, à son cou, et elle, éplorée, brisée, s'abandonnant, le suivant désormais partout où il voudrait la conduire.

To convince oneself of this, it is sufficient to reduce the intensity of the waves emitted by the radiator by using a smaller induction coil—which comes to exactly the same thing as if the distance were increased with a higher source of radiation.
Pour s'en convaincre, il suffit de réduire l'intensité des ondes émises par le radiateur en se servant d'une bobine d'induction plus petite, ce qui revient au même que si l'on augmentait la distance avec une source de radiation plus forte.

Les hommes serrés là, dos à dos, formaient, de loin, comme une vaste éponge grouillante.

At intervals the flashes of lightning showed the mule tracks in the mud, and the white peak that beckoned us in the distance.
De temps en temps la lueur d'un éclair nous montrait les pas des mules marqués dans la boue, et le pic blanc qui nous servait de point de mire.

Sidoine was very busy keeping the wolves at a distance; right and left he distributed kicks which would have over thrown a mountain.
Sidoine avait fort à faire pour tenir les loups à distance ; il lançait à droite et à gauche des coups de pied à renverser une montagne.

At length the keen eye of Chingachgook caught a glimpse of this important guide. It was glimmering at a distance among the trunks of trees.
À la fin, l’œil perçant de Chingachgook entrevit un indice de ce guide important : c’était une faible lueur qu’on apercevait à travers les arbres, à quelque distance.

For my part, I can do without their confessions; I watch them from a distance; I have got their records at home among my botanical specimens and medical notes.
Moi, je n'ai pas besoin qu'ils se confessent, je les suis de loin, j'ai leurs dossiers chez moi, avec mes herbiers et mes notes de praticien.

In the energy of cohesion we have therefore a force which is very great, but which has the characteristic of only acting upon the particles of bodies when they are a very small distance apart.
Nous avons donc dans l'énergie de cohésion une force très grande, mais dont le caractère est de n'agir sur les particules des corps que lorsqu'ils ne sont séparés que par des distances très petites.

"I wish," cried John, with impatience, when at the distance of a couple of miles from the parsonage, "that gentleman had driven his gig out of the road."
À deux mille du presbytère ils prirent une avenue assez étroite, dont un cabriolet, qui était arrêté, tenait le milieu. – Peste soit du cabriolet ! s’écria John avec impatience, il devrait bien au moins se mettre sur le côté.
