Examples from texts

As Figure 3 illustrates, the fabled "pyramid" is really shaped more like a tall diamond—in India at least— with a newly bulging middle class and a relatively slim "stem" of very poor people.
Comme l'illustre la figure 3, la « pyramide » des âges ressemble davantage à un diamant étiré à la base, du moins en Inde, la classe moyenne formant un renflement au centre et les plus démunis une « tige » étroite.

For at first, when Sidoine was quietly resting on the pyramid, he could not be clearly distinguished from the blocks of granite.
Car, au premier abord, quand Sidoine se reposait tranquillement sur la pyramide, rien ne le distinguait nettement des blocs de granit.

The greater number no doubt thought when dying, that the pyramid was falling down upon them, for they could not conceive that a man's fists could bear such a striking resemblance to hewn stones.
La plupart pensèrent sans doute, en expirant, que la pyramide s’écroulait sur eux, ne pouvant s’imaginer que des poings d’homme eussent autant de ressemblance avec des pierres de taille.

Conversely, the female side of the pyramid will remain fairly constant for some time to come, as close to half of the lowest age group (<35 years) is made up of females.
Contrairement, les pourcentages des femmes restent assez constants pendant un temps, puis se rapprochent jusqu'à constituer la moitié du groupe d'âge le plus jeune (moins de 35 ans).

Sidoine, who had made use of a pyramid for a stool, showed by an expressive gesture how restricted he considered this dwelling.
Sidoine, qui se servait d’une pyramide en guise d’escabeau, témoigna par un geste expressif combien il trouvait le logis insuffisant.

During the affray, the Blues, amazed at this reinforcement which came to them from the top of one of the great pyramids, had had time to realise that this was not an avalanche of paving-stones, but a man in flesh and bone.
Durant l’affaire, les Bleus, stupéfaits de ce renfort qui leur tombait du haut d’une des grandes pyramides, avaient eu le temps de reconnaître que ce n’était pas là un éboulement de pavés, mais un homme en chair et en os.

But his native land remains deaf: "The mustachioed grenadiers are all asleep now, on the plain where the Elbe's waters flow, beneath the snows of cold Russia, in the burning sands of the pyramids."
Mais la patrie y reste sourde: «Les grenadiers moustachus dorment dans la plaine où ruisselle l'Elbe, sous la neige de la froide Russie, dans les sables brûlants des pyramides.»

But, in truth, he was gaping with weariness, gazing in despair on the Nile, the Sphinx, Memphis, the pyramids, and even doing his utmost to think of the mummies, although without any satisfactory result
Mais, à la vérité, il s’ennuyait de toute la largeur de ses mâchoires, regardant d’un œil désespéré le Nil, les sphinx, Memphis, les pyramides, s’efforçant même de penser aux momies, sans grands résultats.
