Some - the merest ripple of humanitarianism in the unrelenting sea of cruelty - took pity on the prisoners, offering them titbits of food (which the guards prevented them from accepting).
Certains -infime ride d'humanitarisme dans un inexorable océan de cruauté - prenaient pitié des prisonniers et leur tendaient des morceaux de nourriture (que les gardes les empêchaient d'accepter).

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.

To him the figure seemed to be moving; a quiver like the ripple of a wavelet crossed her stomach, and her left hip became straightened, as if the right leg were about to step out.
La Baigneuse bougeait, le ventre avait frémi d’une onde légère, la hanche gauche s’était tendue encore, comme si la jambe droite allait se mettre en marche.

Not a breath stirred; there was nought but the silent ripple of the river past the willows.
Pas un souffle ne passait, il n’y avait, le long des saules, que le glissement muet de la rivière.

Both father and mother laughed together with content at the sight of that infantile smile, vague and fleeting, like a faint ripple on the pure water of some spring.
Et la mère, et le père riaient d’aise, riaient ensemble, devant ce rire de l’enfant, à peine sensible, fugitif, tel qu’un léger frisson sur l’eau pure d’une source.

I was sitting on the brick balustrade when the sound of her footsteps blending with the undulating ripple of her flowing gown stirred the calm air of the night.
J’étais assis sur la balustrade en briques, quand le retentissement de son pas mêlé au bruit onduleux de la robe flottante anima l’air calme du soir.

On some mornings, Miette, who by nature could not long maintain a contemplative attitude, began to tease; she would shake the rope, and make drops of water fall in order to ripple the mirrors and deface the reflections.
Certains matins, Miette, dont le tempérament ne s’accommodait pas d’une longue contemplation, se montrait taquine; elle remuait la corde, elle faisait tomber exprès des gouttes d’eau qui ridaient les clairs miroirs et déformaient les images.

From the parterre, from the orchard, from the meadow-lands, from the forest, from the great rocks, from the spreading heavens, came back a ripple of voluptuous joy.
Du parterre, du verger, des prairies, de la forêt, des grandes roches, du vaste ciel, arrivait de nouveau un rire de volupté, un vent qui semait sur son passage une poussière de fécondation.

Just at this moment a dull, heavy sound swept up the avenue formed by the trees, borne along by a light air that hardly produced a ripple on the water.
Précisément en cet instant un bruit sourd arriva par une avenue formée par les arbres, porté par un vent léger qui rida à peine la surface de la rivière.

Between the willows and poplars on both banks the little river flowed on peacefully, scarce murmuring as it coursed among the water plants which made it ripple.
La petite rivière était d’une paix infinie, entre les saules et les peupliers des deux rives à peine murmurante, parmi les plantes d’eau qui en moiraient le cristal.

The canopy overhead was heavy and dense, promising another night of darkness, but the surface of the lake was scarcely disturbed by a ripple.
Le ciel était lourd et chargé ; il présageait une autre nuit ténébreuse ; mais la surface du lac était à peine ridée.

The repeated tinklings even roused them into liveliness, and they answered back with little chirps which crossed amid the Latin words of prayer, like the rippling laughs of free urchins.
Les tintements répétés les avaient même mis en joie. Ils répondirent par de petits cris, qui coupaient les paroles latines d'un rire perlé de gamins libres.

You could now only see his back, his poor painful back which swayed and swelled, mottled by the rippling of a shiver.
On ne voyait plus que son dos, un pauvre dos de douleur, qui se balançait, se gonflait, se moirait d’un frisson.

One after another, the voices of business or pleasure died away; all on the boat were sleeping, and the ripples at the prow were plainly heard.
Les voix qui causaient d’affaires ou de plaisir, se turent l’une après l’autre. Tout dormait à bord, et l’on entendait bouillonner l’eau sous la proue.
