Examples from texts

To know manhood never, to be too late for it, that thought filled him with terror.
Ne plus pouvoir, ne plus pouvoir, cela le hantait d’une terreur dont il craignait d’être paralysé.

I stood in the period between puberty and manhood,-- the one prolonged by my excessive study, the other tardily developing its living shoots.
J’étais entre ma puberté prolongée par mes travaux et ma virilité qui poussait tardivement ses rameaux verts.

It would not have been easy to find a more noble specimen of vigorous manhood than was offered in the person of him who called himself Hurry Harry.
Il aurait été difficile de trouver un plus noble échantillon de l’âge viril dans toute sa vigueur que celui qu’offrait en sa personne l’individu qui s’était donné le nom de Hurry Harry.

On the contrary, all his energies were aroused in order to meet his expected fate, with a calmness that should do credit to his colour and his manhood; one equally removed from recreant alarm, and savage boasting.
Il s’armait de toute son énergie pour subir son destin avec un calme qui fit honneur à sa couleur et à son courage, sans montrer de lâches alarmes ni s’abaisser à une jactance sauvage.

The illegal route was even more dangerous. It would simply have meant -the lessons of 1923 plainly recalled - standing 'the prime of the nation's manhood' (das beste Mannestum der Nation) in front of the machine-guns of the police and army.
La route illégale était encore plus dangereuse : c'eût été exposer la « fine fleur des hommes de la nation » (das beste Mannestum der Nation) aux fusils-mitrailleurs de la police et de l'armée. A l'évidence, il n'avait pas oublié les leçons de 1923.

"Nay, nay, Hurry, there's little manhood in killing a doe, and that too out of season; though there might be some in bringing down a painter or a catamount," returned the other, disposing himself to comply.
– Un homme n’a guère à se vanter pour avoir tué une daine, et surtout hors de saison, Hurry, répondit son compagnon en se disposant à l’imiter ; à la bonne heure s’il avait abattu une panthère ou un chat sauvage.

Even I, who love you so much, and have given myself to you, I dare not at all times call on you, for I would not let you come in contact with the impurities of my manhood.
Moi-même, qui vous aime tant, qui me suis donné à vous, je n'ose à toute heure vous appeler, ne voulant pas vous faire rencontrer avec mes impuretés d'homme.

Then, squeezing the other's hand, he said calmly, like one whose manhood has overcome all other sensations, "I would lose an arm, Pathfinder, to be able to make an offering of that calash to Mabel Dunham."
et enfin, serrant la main de son compagnon, il lui dit d’un ton calme, comme si la fermeté l’avait emporté sur toutes autres sensations : – Je donnerais un de mes bras, Pathfinder, pour pouvoir offrir cette calèche à Mabel Dunham.
