The pavement was muddy; and although the unforeseen was encountered from place to place by the pedestrian's feet, it was only in the form of a puddle.
Les pavés étaient fangeux, et l’imprévu ne se présentait de loin en loin aux pieds du promeneur que sous la forme d’une flaque d’eau.

It glistened darkly in the wet, the dim lamps flickered with each gust, the rain splashed steadily into the puddles and trickled down the water- spouts into the running gutters.
Elle luisait obscurément sous l’averse, les réverbères à gaz clignotaient à chaque rafale de vent, la pluie crépitait dans les flaques, dégoulinait des gouttières, et les caniveaux dégorgeaient.

Then Chaine remained alone with Mathilde in the damp shop, amidst the heaps of clay and the puddles of water, while the chalky light from the whitened windows glared crudely over all the wretched untidiness.
Et Chaîne demeura seul avec Mathilde, dans la boutique humide, au milieu des tas de glaise et des flaques d’eau, sous le grand jour crayeux des vitres barbouillées, qui éclairait crûment ce coin de misère mal tenu.

Right behind, the ten mourners took short and careful steps, trying to avoid the puddles, and being so occupied with the difficulty of the descent that they refrained from speaking.
À la suite, les dix piétinaient, se retenaient parmi les flaques, si occupés de cette descente pénible, qu’ils ne causaient pas encore.

There was the bleak yard, now puddled with snow, and a blaze of light from the pavilion at the other end.
Nous vîmes la cour froide, couverte de neige, et à l’extrémité opposée, un éclat de lumière provenant du Pavillon.

But there was not a stick of wood, the bog-holes were little puddles, the stream was a slender trickle.
Mais il n'y avait pas la moindre brindille de bois; les trous marécageux n'étaient que des mares minuscules, le torrent, un simple filet d'eau.

With its slime-beds and puddles, the plain might be an endless gray sheet that floats on the sea and has here and there gone under.
Avec ses bancs de vase et ses flaques, on dirait une toile grise démesurée qui flotte sur la mer, immergée par endroits.

Rougon had halted, looking thoughtful, and his eyes followed the cortege as it hurried away through the splashing puddles, speckling even the lower leaves of the trees with all the mire it raised.
Rougon s'était arrêté, songeur, et suivait le cortège filant dans le jaillissement des flaques, mouchetant jusqu'aux feuilles basses des arbres.
