Examples from texts

The stream, after meandering over a shallow, shingly channel, entered the canon through a vast gate-like gap, between two giant portals.
La rivière, après avoir décrit de nombreux détours en suivant un canal sinueux et peu profond, entrait dans le cañon par une vaste ouverture semblable à une porte bordée de deux piliers gigantesques.

Twilight was falling and we were still in an unfeatured waste, crossing the shallow glen of a stream.
Le crépuscule tombait et nous étions toujours au milieu d’une désolation monotone que traversait le vallon creux d’une rivière.

We took the same road, but pushed west of the trench-digging parties and got to a shallow valley with a white village among the cypresses.
Nous prîmes la route même que j’avais suivie la veille, mais nous tenant à l’ouest des escouades occupées à creuser les tranchées. Nous parvînmes enfin à une vallée peu profonde où un village blanc se pelotonnait au milieu des cyprès.

I ran up the burnside, crawling over the open places, and for a large part wading in the shallow stream.
Je courais le long du torrent, me baissant aux endroits découverts, et la plupart du temps à gué dans l'eau peu profonde.

We set the Companions to guard, and with infinite slowness, using our hands and our knives, we made a shallow grave below the eastern parapet.
Nous dîmes aux Compagnons de monter la garde. Puis nous creusâmes une tombe peu profonde, avec une lenteur infinie, nous servant de nos couteaux et de nos doigts.

Here, to my surprise, I found myself on the banks of a broad arroyo, whose water, clear and shallow, ran slowly over a bed of sand and gypsum.
Là, à ma grande surprise, je me trouvai au bord d'un large arroyo, dont l'eau, claire et peu profonde, coulait doucement sur un lit de sable et de gypse.

The latter was shallow. During freshets it became a torrent; and then the valley was inaccessible from the east, but that was a rare occurrence in these rainless regions.
Celle-ci était peu profonde; mais dans les moments de grandes eaux, elle se transformait en torrent, et alors la vallée devenait inaccessible par l'est. Cela arrivait rarement dans ces régions sans pluies.

C'était là qu'il avait éprouvé un véritable penchant pour ce bel homme, en le trouvant adorablement sot, creux et superbe.

The Minister of State, a man of very shrewd mind and great experience, was particularly flattering. He had an idea that it was lucky to have a shallow-pated fellow for a friend.

They tie a fishing line to it and fly it beyond the shallow waters, so it doesn’t cast a shadow and scare the fish.
Us y attachent une ligne avec un hameçon et les font voler au-delà des eaux peu profondes pour que leur ombre n'effraie pas les poissons.

I saw in front of me a sea of hills, rising very high towards the south, but northwards breaking down into broad ridges which separated wide and shallow dales.
Je voyais devant moi une mer de montagnes, s'élevant très haut dans le sud, mais vers le nord s'abaissant par vastes ondulations entrecoupées de vaux larges et peu profonds.

Il eût été beaucoup plus dans son élément à se frayer un chemin à travers les barres de l’embouchure de l’Ems ou à lutter contre le norois dans la Baltique.

We took refuge in the shallow cave, but some wild shooting from the east side brought us back to the parapets, for we feared an attack.
