Examples from texts

Her hair was scanty and black, her eyes and cheeks hollow, her arms thin, her chest narrow, showing a battle between life and death, a duel without truce in which the mother had so far been victorious.
Ses cheveux rares et noirs, ses veux caves, ses joues creuses, ses bras amaigris, sa poitrine étroite annonçaient un débat entre la vie et la mort, duel sans trêve où jusqu’alors la comtesse était victorieuse.

The sunshine blazes everywhere; it heats and roasts the hollow of the way, spreading blinding and burning whiteness in patches, and shimmers in the sky of faultless blue.
La lumière éclate partout, chauffe et cuit le creux du chemin, y étale d’aveuglantes et brûlantes blancheurs çà et là, et vibre dans le ciel parfaitement bleu.

This formidable fecundity springs from the vapour which constantly arises from the water under the parching action of the sun, whose rays accumulate in this hollow till it becomes like a furnace.
Cette fécondité formidable naît des continuelles vapeurs d’eau qui se dégagent, sous l’action torride du soleil, dont les rayons s’amassent dans ce creux, en un foyer de fournaise.

Choosing a place where the ground chanced to be slightly hollowed out, he led the mustang forward, until her fore feet rested in the hollow.
Choisissant une place où le terrain était un peu en pente, il y conduisit le mustang, et le plaça de manière à ce que ses pieds de devant fussent en contre-bas.

The young woman first opened her arms and wrung her hands whilst giving vent to a hollow moan, as if to relieve and exhale her grief; and then, leaning forward, she watched for some sign of life on that pale face whose eyes were closed.
Elle avait ouvert les bras, s’était tordu les mains, avec un gémissement sourd, dans un besoin de détendre et d’exhaler sa douleur. Puis, se penchant, elle guetta la vie sur ce visage pâle, aux yeux fermés.

And all the strangeness of the deep spring, the hollow tower over which they bent, trembling with fascination, added unconfessed and delightful fear to their merry laughter.
Et tout l’inconnu de cette source profonde, de cette tour creuse sur laquelle ils se courbaient, attirés, avec de petits frissons, ajoutait à leur joie de se sourire une peur inavouée et délicieuse.

At length the watch was told off, the lariats were shortened, the picket-pins driven home, and my comrades, rolling themselves up in their blankets, rested their heads in the hollow of their saddles, and went to sleep.
Enfin, la veillée se termina; on raccourcit les longes, on rapprocha les piquets; mes camarades, s'enveloppant dans leurs couvertures, posèrent leur tête sur le siège de leurs selles et s'abandonnèrent au sommeil.

I could barely reach the surface; and the little hollow I was able to make filled up almost as soon as it had been formed.
À peine pouvais-je en atteindre la surface, et le léger sillon que je traçais était aussitôt comblé que formé.

But suddenly one of the prone survivors rose to his knees, dark as a great bat ensnared, and as the mud dripped from his waving arms he cried in a hollow voice, "There must be no more war after this!"
Mais tout d’un coup, un des survivants couchés se dressa à genoux, secoua ses bras boueux et d’où tombait la boue, et, noir comme une grande chauve-souris engluée, il cria sourdement :– Il ne faut plus qu’il y ait de guerre après celle-là !

What startled her most of all, however, was the hollow of the stream, the deep gap in which the Seine flowed, black and turgid, from the heavy piles of the Pont Marie, to the light arches of the new Pont Louis Philippe.
Mais ce qui la suffoquait surtout, c’est l’encaissement de la rivière, la fosse profonde où la Seine coulait à cet endroit, noirâtre, des lourdes piles du pont Marie aux arches légères du nouveau pont Louis-Philippe.
