I doubt if he would have recognized me even in the clothes I had worn in Stumm's company, for his eyesight was wretched.

Je doute qu’il m’eût reconnu, même dans les vêtements que je portais lorsque je le vis en compagnie de Stumm, car il avait une très mauvaise vue.

"If you can't see it, you don't want the dentist to look after your grinders, you want the vet to clean your eyesight."

Si tu ne le vois pas, c’est pas l’dentiste qu’il faut demander pour te soigner les piloches, c’est le vétérinaire pour te torcher la vue.

As for her husband, whose eyesight was failing more and more, he had been obliged to relinquish painting altogether, and he dragged out his days in morose desolation, his life wrecked, annihilated.

Quant au mari, la vue de plus en plus malade, il avait dû cesser tout travail de peinture, il ne vivait plus que dans la désolation morose de sa vie gâtée, tombée au néant.

"Partly that, lad, and partly eyesight," returned the good-natured giant, laughing; "there was a large gang of us in the lake, the summer the old fellow built, and we helped him along with the job.

– Partie cela, partie mes yeux, répondit le colosse en riant. – J’étais en compagnie assez nombreuse sur les bords du lac, l’été pendant lequel le vieux Tom bâtit sa maison, et nous l’aidâmes à la construire.
