Translations for truck in French
Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:
He waited, keeping a sharp look-out. The vehicle was proceeding slowly along the boulevard Saint Michel. At the corner of Saint Germain it stopped. A truck horse had fallen. The traffic having been interrupted, a cast throng of fiacres and omnibuses had gathered there. Arsene Lupin looked out. Another prison-van had stopped close to the one he occupied. He moved the plate still farther, put his foot on one of the spokes of the wheel and leaped to the ground. A coachman saw him, roared with laughter, then tried to raise an outcry, but his voice was lost in the noise of the traffic that had commenced to move again. Moreover, Arsene Lupin was already far away. | Il attendit, l’œil aux aguets. La voiture monta au pas le boulevard Saint-Michel. Au carrefour Saint-Germain, elle s’arrêta. Le cheval d’un camion s’était abattu. La circulation étant interrompue, très vite ce fut un encombrement de fiacres et d’omnibus. Arsène Lupin passa la tête. Une autre voiture pénitentiaire stationnait le long de celle qu’il occupait. Il souleva davantage la tôle, mit le pied sur un des rayons de la grande roue et sauta à terre. Un cocher le vit, s’esclaffa de rire, puis voulut appeler. Mais sa voix se perdit dans le fracas des véhicules qui s’écoulaient de nouveau. D’ailleurs Arsène Lupin était loin déjà. |
