Translations for tick in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
Challenger sprang into the air bellowing like a bull, and tore frantically at his coat and shirt to get them off. Summerlee and I laughed so that we could hardly help him. At last we exposed that monstrous torso (fifty-four inches, by the tailor's tape). His body was all matted with black hair, out of which jungle we picked the wandering tick before it had bitten him. But the bushes round were full of the horrible pests, and it was clear that we must shift our camp. | Challenger bondit, meuglant comme un taureau, arrachant son veston, déchirant sa chemise pour s’en dépouiller plus vite. Summerlee et moi riions si fort que nous n’arrivions pas à l’aider. Nous finîmes cependant par mettre à nu son torse monstrueux (cinquante-quatre pouces, mesure du tailleur) ; et de la jungle noire qui le hérissait nous extirpâmes, avant qu’elle l’eût mordu, la tique vagabonde. Mais la broussaille, autour de nous, était infestée de ces horribles bêtes, et nous n’avions contre elles d’autre ressource que de lever le camp. |
