Translations for harm in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
“Your letter undeceived me; it showed me that you lacked the intelligence
of the heart; it did you more harm with me than anything you could
possibly have done. It was jealousy certainly, but ironical and
impertinent jealousy. I was already feeling sad when I received your
letter. I was looking forward to seeing you at twelve, to having lunch
with you, and wiping out, by seeing you, a thought which was with me
incessantly, and which, before I knew you, I had no difficulty in
tolerating.

«Ta lettre t'a démenti, elle m'a révélé que tu n'avais pas toutes les
intelligences du cœur, elle t'a fait plus de tort dans l'amour que
j'avais pour toi que tout ce que tu aurais pu me faire. C'était de la
jalousie, il est vrai, mais de la jalousie ironique et impertinente.
J'étais déjà triste, quand j'ai reçu cette lettre, je comptais te voir à
midi, déjeuner avec toi, effacer par ta vue une incessante pensée que
j'avais, et qu'avant de te connaître j'admettais sans effort.

"Well, it is very ingenious," said I, laughing; "but since, as you said just
now, there has been no crime committed, and no harm done, save the loss of a
goose, ail this seems to be rather a waste of energy."

— C’est fort ingénieux, dis-je en riant, mais
puisqu’il n’y a eu ni crime, ni dommage causé,
sauf la perte d’une oie, vous avez, ce me semble,
bien perdu votre temps.
