Examples from texts

He lay perfectly quiet for two or three minutes, trusting to the single sense of hearing, confident that the noise in the lake would reach his ears, did any one venture to approach by swimming.

The Crown, however, did not gain this title until it asserted sovereignty and it makes no sense to speak of a burden on the underlying title before that title existed.
Cependant, celle-ci n'a acquis ce titre qu'à compter du moment où elle a affirmé sa souveraineté sur le territoire en question et il serait absurde de parler d'une charge grevant le titre sous-jacent avant que celui-ci ait existé.
From his perspective, the appellant's institution, however meritorious, put him in the intimate care of Mr. Curry and in a very real sense enhanced the risk of his being abused.
Du point de vue de ce dernier, l'établissement de l'appelante, si louable soit-il, l'a confié aux soins personnels de M. Curry et a donc vraiment accru le risque qu'il soit agressé.
Muir wanted not for personal courage, nor for a certain sense of personal honor.

Here and there I got the sense of it, all at once, and it came back all fresh to me, and melted away again, just as if it was talking to me.
Je l’sentais par-ci par-là tout d’un coup qui s’refaisait et se fondait dans moi comme si il s’mettait à m’parler.

This minute of silence (in reality six or seven seconds) was very likely involuntary, but it altered the whole sense of the ceremony.

What she had said to her aunt was true enough-she was afraid of him; and in saying that she had no sense of weakness she meant that she was not afraid of herself.
Ce qu'elle avait dit à sa tante était bien vrai : elle avait peur de lui ; et en déclarant qu'on ne pouvait l'accuser de faiblesse, ce n'était pas à lui, mais à elle seule qu'elle pensait.

Had the word lost its power, or could the failing eye and weary sense no longer answer to the touch of that mighty inspiration?
La Parole avait-elle donc perdu de sa force? ses yeux défaillants, ses sens émoussés, ne répondaient-ils plus à l’appel de cette inspiration puissante?

"O, ridiculous, Emily! You are the finest woman in Kentucky; but still you haven't sense to know that you don't understand business; – women never do, and never can.
