Below Therese, some tarts from the Latin Quarter were dancing in a ring on a patch of worn turf singing an infantine roundelay.
Au-dessous de Thérèse, des filles du quartier latin, sur un tapis de gazon usé, tournaient, en chantant une ronde enfantine.

While we taste the joy of eating at a table, a glimmer of light trickles through a vent-hole, and wraps in dusty dawn a piece of the atmosphere and a patch of the table, while its reflex lights up a plate, a cap's peak, an eye.
Pendant qu’on savoure la joie de le savourer assis, une lueur filtre par le soupirail et enveloppe d’une aube poussiéreuse un pan d’atmosphère et un carré de la table, allume d’un reflet un couvert, une visière, un œil.

Near them there was a large patch of heliotropes, whose vanilla-like breath permeated the air with velvety softness.

The heat of the sun, which was then great, brought them a feeling of languor, and they sauntered along gently, side by side, seeking every patch of sheltering shade.
Le soleil, déjà chaud, leur donnait une langueur, les faisait marcher lentement l'un près de l'autre, cherchant les filets d'ombre.

Oh! the garden--a mere patch of soil, sloping down abruptly, with a bed where four pear trees stand, and the rest taken up by a fowl-house, made out of green boards, old plaster, and wire network, held together with bits of string.'
le jardin, une lichette de terre en pente raide, plantée de quatre poiriers, encombrée de toute une basse-cour faite de planches verdies, de vieux plâtres, de grillages en fer consolidés de ficelles… »

The big bare room was in deep shadow; a small lamp which stood upon the table cast just a circular patch of light upon the floor, and the Abbé himself, who was writing, seemed like a big black stain in the midst of that yellow glare.
La grande pièce nue était pleine d'ombre, une petite lampe posée au bord de la table laissait tomber sur le carreau un rond étroit de clarté; le prêtre, qui écrivait, ne faisait lui-même qu'une tache noire, au milieu de cette lueur jaune.
