Examples from texts

With my brown face, my old tweeds, and my slouch, I was the very model of one of the hill farmers who were crowding into the third-class carriages.
Avec ma figure basanée, ma vieille défroque et ma dégaine pesante, je ressemblais comme deux gouttes d'eau à l'un de ces paysans de la montagne qui s'entassaient dans les voitures de troisième.

Swarthy, ill-favoured faces appear behind the folds of dingy rebozos. Fierce glances lower under the slouch of broad sombreros.

It was funny to see Peter in a Turkish army-saddle, riding with the long Boer stirrup and the slouch of the backveld.
C’était amusant de voir ce dernier perché sur une selle réglementaire de l’armée turque, chevauchant avec les étriers très bas à la boer, et tout ramassé sur lui-même à la manière de l’arrière-veldt.

The men become caricatures of what physical men ought to be, and their women and children are pale and anaemic, with eyes ringed darkly, who stoop and slouch, and are early twisted out of all shapeliness and beauty.
Les hommes ne sont plus que des caricatures d'eux-mêmes, leurs femmes et leurs enfants sont pâles et anémiés, leurs yeux sont cerclés de noir, ils ont le dos voûté et traînent la savate, et deviennent très vite rachitiques, sans grâce et sans beauté.

The eye, if I saw it aright under the shadow of a slouched brim, was blue and mild; the hair brown and wavy, with here and there a strand of silver.
L'œil, autant que je pus le voir sous l'ombre d'un chapeau rabattu, était bleu et doux. Les cheveux noirs et ondulés, marqués çà et là d'un fil d'argent.

Il y a un certain nombre de voyous des rives qui se font de coquettes rentes pendant l’été, en rôdant sur les berges et en rançonnant de cette façon les pauvres nigauds.
