Ah! that lie which he, prompted by affection and charity, had told, that error in which he had from that moment suffered her to remain, with what a weight did it oppress his heart!
Ah ! ce mensonge, ce mensonge d’affection et de charité, l’erreur ou il la laissait depuis ce moment, de quel poids il lui écrasait le cœur !

Between the folds of the pelisse they gazed upon the fields stretching on both sides of the road, without experiencing that crushing feeling with which far-stretching callous vistas oppress the human affections.
Ils regardaient, à travers les plis de la pelisse, les champs qui s’étendaient aux deux bords de la route, sans éprouver cet écrasement que les larges horizons indifférents font peser sur les tendresses humaines.

A free Russia would no longer be a unified Russia, and the greater the number of the oppressed races contained in it, the more must the Empire be a veritable imperialistic product, in which oppression is an urgent and organic necessity.
Une Russie libre cesserait d'être une Russie unifiée, et plus le nombre des races opprimées est grand, plus l'empire doit être une véritable création impérialiste, où l'oppression devient une impérieuse nécessité organique. ...

He tried to say what was the matter with him, but could only repeat, "There are too many of them!" oppressed and panting. He swallowed a pulpy mouthful of bread as if there went with it the disordered and suffocating mass of his memories.
Il essayait de dire ce qu’il y avait. Il ne pouvait que répéter : « Y en a trop » ; il était oppressé et soufflait, et il avala une bouchée déliquescente de pain, et il ravala aussi la masse désordonnée et étouffante de ses souvenirs.

On the other hand, Marie, who sat near her, embroidering, shifted her position a score of times, broke her thread, and grew impatient, feeling strangely nervous, a prey to unaccountable anxiety, which oppressed her heart.
Et, vingt fois déjà, Marie, qui brodait en face d’elle, s’était dérangée, cassant son fil, s’impatientant, en proie à une nervosité singulière, un inexplicable malaise, une inquiétude sans cause, disait-elle, dont le poids lui étouffait le cœur.
