Examples from texts

I may be permitted to recall the fact that in several of my works i have laid great stress upon the mistakes of the pacifists, and the necessity for a nation, which desires a continued existence, to go so well armed that it can defend its rights.
On me permettra de rappeler que dans plusieurs ouvrages j'ai fortement insisté sur l'erreur des pacifistes et la nécessité pour un peuple qui veut vivre d'être assez armé pour défendre son droit.

He has not been satisfied with taking advantage of our mistakes, as it was his right to do, but he has been as adroit in falsifying our history as in counterfeiting our products.
Il ne se contentait pas d'exploiter nos fautes, ce qui était son droit: il se montrait aussi habile à falsifier notre histoire qu'à contrefaire nos produits.

But the poor girl often made mistakes; she placed her own hands in others that were unworthy, and rapidly withdrew them in disgust.
Mais la pauvre fille se trompait souvent ; elle plaçait ses mains dans des mains indignes, et les retirait vite de dégoût.

Although primary responsibility for mishandling the war lies with Israel's leaders, the United States encouraged their mistakes by offering them unconditional support before and during the war.
Si la responsabilité première de la mauvaise gestion de la guerre incombe aux dirigeants israéliens, les États-Unis ont cautionné leurs erreurs en leur offrant un soutien inconditionnel avant et pendant la guerre.

You have committed nothing but mistakes : in going to lodge with my son-in-law, in persistently keeping yourself aloof from others, and in walking about in a cassock which makes the street-lads jeer at you.'
Vous n'avez commis que des fautes, en allant vous loger chez mon gendre, en vous claquemurant chez vous, en portant une soutane qui fait la joie des gamins dans les rues.

Of these mistakes one of the most serious was due to a lack of understanding on the part of the British Cabinet, which refused to sanction a Congress that would undoubtedly have prevented the annexations made by Prussia.
Parmi les plus lourdes, figure l'incompréhension des ministres anglais refusant l'ouverture d'un congrès qui eût certainement empêché les annexions de la Prusse.

We have succeeded in correcting! these mistakes, thanks to our adaptability, but we lost immense numbers of men first, and incurred several defeats.
Nous réussîmes, grâce à nos facultés d'adaptation, à nous corriger, mais seulement après avoir perdu un nombre immense d'hommes et essuyé plusieurs défaites.

Germany's psychological mistakes with regard to Italy were quite as great, for the arrogant bearing which she adopted towards this Ally ended by making a new enemy.
A l'égard de l'Italie, les fautes psychologiques de l'Allemagne ne furent pas moindres. Son allure arrogante vis-à-vis de cette alliée, aboutit à s'en faire une nouvelle ennemie.

Psychological errors are the most disastrous of all those that a statesman can commit, and his task is accordingly very difficult, for the destiny of a nation often depends upon his foresight or his mistakes.
Les erreurs de psychologie sont les plus funestes de celles qu'un homme d'Etat puisse commettre. Sa tâche est donc fort difficile. De ses prévisions ou de ses erreurs dépend souvent la destinée d'un peuple.

I cannot enumerate all the mistakes that have been made, and shall mention only a few of the most costly ones, which could have been avoided by a little foresight.
Ne pouvant énumérer toutes les erreurs commises, nous mentionnerons seulement quelques-unes de celles nous ayant coûté le plus cher et qu'un peu de prévision eût facilement évitées.
