Leaning over the granite parapet, he saw that a fishing-boat had glided in, without the sound of a voice or the splash of a ripple, or the plunge of an oar, softly borne in by its broad, tawny sail spread to the breeze from the open sea.
S'étant penché sur le parapet de granit, il vit une barque de pêche qui rentrait, sans un bruit de voix, sans un bruit de flot, sans un bruit d'aviron, doucement poussée par sa haute voile brune tendue à la brise du large.

At the moment when I plunge into the communication trenches they are visible a long way; they are still gloomily stirring, still filled by the crowd that overflows from the trenches and flows without end towards the refuges.
Au moment où je plonge dans les boyaux, je les vois, au loin, toujours mouvants et sombres, toujours emplis par la foule qui, débordant des tranchées, s’écoule sans fin vers les postes de secours.

The closing of the foreign markets would plunge millions of workmen into distress, for as a matter of fact only fifteen million Germans live by agriculture, out of the population of seventy millions.
Si leurs débouchés se fermaient, des millions d'ouvriers tomberaient dans la misère. Sur 70 millions d'Allemands, 15 millions seulement, en effet, vivent d'agriculture.

Laveuve's unkempt beard straggled over his features, suggesting an old horse that is no longer cropped; his toothless jaws were quite askew, his eyes were vitreous, and his nose seemed to plunge into his mouth.
La barbe inculte, embroussaillant les traits, l’air d’un vieux cheval qu’on ne tond plus, avec les mâchoires de travers, depuis que les dents étaient tombées. Des yeux vitreux, un nez qui sombrait dans la bouche.
