Examples from texts

She sat gazing on the letters until the characters swam before her eyes in undistinguished confusion; and with difficulty she rallied her thoughts to the point necessary for investigation.
Elle tint longtemps ces lettres fatales dans ses mains tremblantes ; elle regardait sans voir, et une angoisse inexprimable semblait avoir suspendu l’usage de toutes ses facultés.

All swam before him, and Clorinde's figure seemed to grow larger and larger till it appeared gigantic, and entirely hid the window from his sight.

The duck dove at the flash, as had been expected, and the bullet skipped harmlessly along the surface of the lake, first striking the water within a few inches of the spot where the bird had so lately swam.
L’oiseau plongea à la première lueur de l’amorce, comme Deerslayer s’y attendait, et la balle glissa sans le toucher sur la surface du lac, frappant d’abord l’eau à quelques pouces de l’endroit ou le plongeon nageait quelques instants auparavant.

As soon as he had conquered in that fearful strife, however, he swam to the eastern shore, landed with caution, and wound his way in amongst the Iroquois, concealed by the darkness, undetected, and, in the main, even unsuspected.
Dès qu’il fut vainqueur dans cette lutte terrible, il nagea vers la rive orientale ; il y aborda avec précaution, et, protégé par l’obscurité, il se mêla aux Iroquois sans être reconnu ni même soupçonné.

Events so great and awe-inspiring cannot have been dependent upon the will of any one man, but are rather due to deep-seated, remote, and varied causes which had been slowly piling up until the day when their effects swam suddenly into our ken.
Des événements d'une aussi formidable grandeur no, sauraient dépendre de la volonté d'un seul homme. Les causes en sont profondes, lointaines et variées. Elles s'accumulent lentement jusqu'au jour où leurs effets apparaissent brusquement.

As she and Silvere swam noiselessly along, she seemed to see the foliage of both banks thicken and hang over them, draping them round as with a huge curtain.
Quand tous deux ils nageaient sans bruit, Miette croyait voir, aux deux bords, les feuillages s’épaissir, se pencher vers eux, draper leur retraite de rideaux énormes.

When she swam against the current she was delighted to feel the stream flow rapidly against her bosom and limbs.
Elle éprouvait, quand elle remontait le courant, une grande jouissance à sentir le flot filer plus rapide contre sa poitrine et contre ses jambes; c’était un long chatouillement, très doux, qu’elle pouvait supporter sans rire nerveux.

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.
Il resta deux ou trois minutes sans oser faire aucun mouvement, se fiant à son oreille, et comptant que, si quelque Huron tentait d’approcher de lui à la nage, le bruit de l’eau le lui apprendrait.

The number of animals seen swimming in the water, floating on its surface, moving on the surface of the sediment, or emerged from the sediment but apparently dead, should be noted and recorded during each observation period.
Chaque fois, on devrait noter le nombre de sujets nageant dans l'eau, flottant à sa surface, se déplaçant à la surface du sédiment ou sortis de ce dernier, mais apparemment morts.
