The sparrows were doubtless crouching for shelter under the tiles, and the rowan-tree's deserted branches showed but indistinctly in the veiling, drenching downpour.
Les moineaux devaient s'être blottis sous les tuiles, le sorbier dressait des branches vagues, noyées dans la poussière d'eau.

The edifice built by science which has so long sheltered our uncertainty now appears like a fragile shelter, of which the entire foundations have to be set up anew.

Il s’était présenté le soir, mais il n’y avait plus de place ; car, chose horrible, cet enfer était encore un lieu d’élection.

They did not feel the need of him, they considered the step a mere formality, and perhaps a shrewd way to shelter their liberty beneath the wing of monarchy.
Ils n’en sentaient pas le besoin ; ils ne virent dans cette mesure qu’une simple formalité, même un moyen ingénieux d’abriter leur liberté à l’ombre d’une monarchie.

They conquered the savage spot or rested beneath the lofty canes and reeds, which seemed to grow there expressly as shelter for shipwrecked adventurers.
Ils y débarquaient, ils y conquéraient des pays sauvages, ils s'y reposaient au milieu de grands joncs, de grands roseaux, qui semblaient bâtir exprès pour eux des huttes de naufragés.

The ecological function of the dunes is to shelter the wetlands and protect them from being encroached upon by blowing sand and by high energy wave action from Lake Ontario.
Les dunes jouent un rôle écologique, car elles protègent les milieux humides en empêchant que le sable balayé par le vent ne les envahisse et en faisant obstacle à l'action des fortes vagues du lac Ontario.
We come out of the uninhabitable shelter; the weather has bettered a little; the snow has melted, and all is soiled anew.
On sort de l’abri inhabitable. Le temps s’est un peu adouci : la neige a fondu et tout s’est resali.

But even as the soul may be wherein it seeks shelter, so will the event become joyous or sad, become tender or hateful, become deadly or quick with life.
Il devient beau ou triste, doux ou amer, mortel ou vivifiant, selon la qualité de l'âme qui le recueille.

The only adequate shelter they could find was in the trenches, which were accordingly dug along the whole extent of the Front until the armies which faced one another were stopped by the sea.
Les tranchées seules procurant un abri suffisant, il en fut creusé sur tout le front jusqu'au moment où les armées en présence arrivèrent à la mer.
