Talk about breaking his jaw—I'd stave in his bread-pan, I'd—there was a whole Camembert in there, I'll go and look for it."
Tu parles que j’y casserais la gueule, que j’y défoncerais le bide, que j’y… Y avait dedans un camembert pas entamé. J’vas encore chercher.

Yes, it was Beauchene whom he resembled, and in so striking a manner, with his eyes of prey, his big jaw which proclaimed an enjoyer consumed by base voracity, that she was now astonished that she had not been able to name him at her first glance.
C’était à Beauchêne qu’il ressemblait, et d’une façon si frappante, avec ses yeux de proie, sa rude mâchoire de jouisseur tombé aux basses voracités, qu’elle s’étonnait maintenant de n’avoir pas crié son nom, à première vue.

But if they cut down a cobbler for laughing at a second lieutenant - which is what happened at Zabern - I calculated that hanging would be too good for a man that had broken a colonel's jaw.
Mais s’ils étaient capables de tuer un savetier qui s’était moqué d’un lieutenant (et cela était arrivé à Saverne), je me dis que la pendaison leur paraîtrait une trop belle mort pour un homme qui avait osé fracasser la mâchoire d’un colonel.

The distance was too great to distinguish the features very accurately; but Mabel fancied that the jaw had been depressed, as if to distort the mouth into a sort of horrible laugh.
La distance était trop grande pour distinguer exactement les traits du visage, mais Mabel crut s’apercevoir que les mâchoires avaient été déprimées, de manière à forcer la bouche à un horrible rire.
