There is much to be learned from this humble life, and yet were it perhaps not well to hold it forth as an example to such as already incline overmuch to resignation, for these it might mislead.
Elle nous enseigne plus d'une chose, cette humble vie. Ce n'est pas qu'il la faille donner en exemple à ceux qui sont enclins à la résignation; ils pourraient s'y tromper.

They were slipping down a fatal incline, and would have ended by carting off all the furniture in the house and leaving nothing but the bare walls, if Mouret had not one day charged Rose with thieving and threatened to send for the police.
Elles étaient sur une pente fatale; elles auraient fini par enlever les gros meubles et ne laisser que les quatre murs, si Mouret n'avait traité Rose un jour de voleuse, en la menaçant du commissaire.

For to go down from the Basilica by the incline on the left, and climb up to it again by the incline on the right, could certainly not be called going to the Grotto in procession: it was simply so much revolving in a circle.
Ce n’était pas y aller en procession que de descendre de la Basilique par la rampe de gauche, puis d’y remonter par la rampe de droite : c’était tourner sur place.

I saw dimly in front of me men bowed and hunchbacked, mounting a slippery incline where mud held them back, and the wind and rain repelled them under a dome of cloudy lights.
J’entrevis devant moi des hommes fléchis et bossus gravissant une côte glissante où la boue les tirait en arrière, d’où les repoussaient le vent et la pluie, sous un dôme d’éclairs sourds.

The higher they the incline, the more did the Place du Rosaire and the avenues and paths of the gardens expand below them, black with the swarming multitude.
Plus on montait le long des rampes, et plus la place du Rosaire, les avenues, les allées des jardins s’élargissaient en dessous, se développaient aux regards, noires de monde.
