Quench responses of these gases are proportional to their concentrations, and therefore require test techniques to determine the quench at the highest expected concentrations experienced during testing.
Les degrés d'atténuation de ces gaz sont proportionnels à leurs concentrations et nécessitent par conséquent des techniques d'essai pour déterminer l'effet d'atténuation aux concentrations les plus élevées prévues pendant l'essai.
How happy it will be to quench its thirst and live again!"
Vont-elles être heureuses, de boire à leur soif et de revivre ! »

He called for some iced lemonade and drank the glassful at one draught, gulping it down with the greedy eagerness of a man stricken with fever, who will never more be able to quench the burning fire within him.
Il se fit servir un verre de limonade glacée, il l’avala d’un trait, de l’air goulu d’un fiévreux qui jamais plus n’apaisera le feu intérieur dont il est brûlé.

The quench shall be calculated as follows:% CO2 quench = [1 ((C × A)/((D × A) (D × B)))] × 100
L'effet d'atténuation est calculé comme suit:% CO2 effet d'atténuation = [1 ((C × A)/((D × A) (D × B)))] × 100
Needs must Antoninus have wept as all men must weep; but tears can quench not one ray in the soul that shines with no borrowed light.
Antonin eût pleuré comme tous les hommes pleurent; mais les plus larges pleurs n'éteignent aucun rayon dans une âme qui n'a pas de rayons empruntés.

That thirst for the Divine, which nothing had quenched through the long, long ages, seemed to have returned with increased violence at the close of our century of science.
Cette soif du divin, que rien n’a pu étancher au travers des siècles, semblait renaître avec une violence nouvelle, au bout de notre siècle de science.

She had, of course, no faculty for quenching memory in dissipation; but she mingled freely in the usual gaieties of the town, and she became at last an inevitable figure at all respectable entertainments.
Ce n'était guère dans sa nature de chercher à s'étourdir, mais elle sortait très volontiers et ne dédaignait aucune des ressources de la ville; si bien qu'elle finit par devenir l'un des piliers de toutes les réunions de la bonne société.

Our water is out, and we chew the succulent slices of the cactus. These relieve our thirst without quenching it.
Notre eau est épuisée; nous suçons les feuilles succulentes du cactus, dont l'humidité trompe notre soif, sans pourtant l'apaiser.

Did I not see her the other evening, passing along the wall of the parsonage, her hair but half quenched by a mantilla, as she went obviously to a rendezvous? Did I not see that she began to hurry and to lean forward, already smiling?
Ne l’ai-je point vue passer, l’autre soir, le long du mur du presbytère, la chevelure mal éteinte par une mantille, allant visiblement à un rendez-vous, ne l’ai-je point vue, se hâtant, penchée et commençant déjà à sourire ?

Ah! that inextinguishable thirst for happiness which brought them all there, wounded either in body or in spirit; Pierre also felt it parching his throat, in an ardent desire to be quenched.
Ah ! cette soif inextinguible du bonheur qui les amenait tous là, ces blessés du corps et de l’âme, Pierre la sentait aussi qui lui séchait la gorge, dans l’ardent besoin de se satisfaire !

Yes, Legree; but who shall shut up that voice in thy soul? that soul, past repentance, past prayer, past hope, in whom the fire that never shall be quenched is already burning!
Oui, Legris; mais qui fera taire la voix qui crie au fond de ton âme? Cette âme fermée au repentir, à la prière, à l’espoir, et dans laquelle s’allume le feu qui jamais ne s’éteindra!
