Examples from texts

If a man were desirous to study the nature of light, and began by extinguishing all the lights that were near, would not a few cinders, a smouldering wick, be all he would ever discover?
Tous ceux qui le tentèrent font songer à un homme qui éteindrait d'abord une lumière afin d'étudier la nature même de la lumière.

Smoke ascended from many of the houses; flames followed; and the greater part of the town was soon reduced to a smouldering ruin.
La fumée s'échappait de plus d'une maison, les flammes suivaient, et la plus grande partie de la ville ne montra bientôt plus que des monceaux de ruines fumantes.

The women went off to their cabins, and Tom sat alone, by the smouldering fire, that flickered up redly in his face.
Les femmes se rendirent à leurs cases, et Tom resta seul près du feu à demi éteint, qui éclairait d’un reflet rouge sa noire face.

Just before him was a little ruined building, with the sky seen through its rafters, for the smouldering ruin on the right gave a certain light.
Devant lui s’élevait un petit bâtiment en ruines dont les poutres démolies laissaient voir le ciel, car une vague lueur se dégageait encore de la ruine fumant sur sa gauche.

The ladies were gathered in a circle in front of the fire-place, where a huge log was smouldering. M. Bouchard and the colonel were busy with their everlasting piquet, while the other men had wheeled their chairs into a corner to isolate themselves.
Les dames faisaient un cercle devant la cheminée, où un gros tison se consumait en braise; M. Bouchard et le colonel jouaient leur éternel piquet: tandis que les hommes avaient roulé leurs fauteuils, dans un coin, pour s'isoler.

There was no blaze, but merely a single smouldering brand, as suited the hour; the savages usually retiring and rising with the revolutions of the sun.
On ne voyait pas de flamme, mais seulement un tison fumant, car il se faisait tard, et les sauvages se couchent et se lèvent avec le soleil.

The fires were still smouldering, and the wolves galloped through the ashes, raising them in yellow clouds.
Les feux continuaient à brûler, et les loups, galopant à travers les cendres, soulevaient des nuages jaunes.

The ladies had begun to chat before the smouldering fire; and when the servant, after clearing the table, reopened the door of the dining-room, they were left alone, the men repairing to the adjoining apartment to smoke and sip some beer.
Les dames, devant le feu mourant, s’étaient mises à causer; et, comme le domestique, après avoir ôté le couvert, rouvrait la salle voisine, elles restèrent seules, les hommes allèrent y fumer, en buvant de la bière.
