Examples from texts

Shall the church of Christ hear in silence the taunt that is thrown at them, and shrink away from the helpless hand that they stretch out; and, by her silence, encourage the cruelty that would chase them from our borders?
L’Église chrétienne laissera-t-elle jeter l’injure et l’opprobre à la face des humbles et des souffrants? Se reculera-t-elle devant la faible main qui l’implore, et son silence encouragera-t-il la cruauté qui les chasse de nos frontières?

No taunt, no smile mingled with their surprise, for Hetty had a character and a manner too saintly to subject her infirmity to the mockings of the rude and ferocious.
Nul sarcasme, nul sourire ne se mêlèrent à leur surprise, car Hetty était à leurs yeux un être trop sacré pour que ces hommes grossiers et féroces osassent se moquer de sa faiblesse d’esprit.

The cruel taunt was more than hunger and cold and nakedness. Tom was silent.
Le cruel sarcasme était pis que la faim, le froid, le dénûment: Tom se tut.

But we had no boast to make, no taunt to urge, nothing before our minds but the fixed dark purpose of murdering one another!
Notre seule pensée, notre seul but était de nous débarrasser l'un de l'autre, et il fallait absolument, pour cela, que l'un de nous deux fût tué.

The woman took no notice of these taunts, but walked on, with the same expression of angry scorn, as if she heard nothing.

Rougon, losing his head, took to flight, pursued by those taunting cries, whose bitterness seemed to increase amidst the gloom.
Rougon, la tête perdue, s’enfuit, poursuivi par ces ricanements qui sanglotaient plus cruels dans l’ombre.

The atheistic taunts of his cruel master sunk his before dejected soul to the lowest ebb; and, though the hand of faith still held to the eternal rock, it was a numb, despairing grasp.
Les railleries impies de son maître avaient fait reculer son âme lassée, jusqu’au point le plus bas: si la main de la foi le rattachait encore à l’impérissable roc, c’était avec l’étreinte glacée du désespoir.

There were some who, while taunting France with her cowardice, flung away their arms, and sat down by the roadside, declaring that they would there await the bullets of the troops, and show how Republicans could die.
Il y en eut qui, en injuriant la France entière de sa lâcheté, jetèrent leurs armes et allèrent s’asseoir sur le bord des routes; ils disaient qu’ils attendraient là les balles de la troupe, pour montrer comment mouraient des républicains.
