Exemples

“Quan el maig del mil noucents seixanta vuit, els estudiants de Paris cometeren desmesures —convé precisar⟳, per contrast, que no hi ha costum enlloc de qualificar⟳ de desmesura les desmesures legalitzades, i consti que n'hi ha— vaig sentir⟳ com un bon home s'exclamava: "Potser tindran raó en el que demanen, però la forma de fer-ho és totalment incorrecta".”

When, in May of nineteen sixty-eight, the students of Paris committed excesses--it should be noted, by contrast, that there is no custom of describing legalised excesses as excesses, and it's obvious these exist--I felt that simple souls exclaimed, "Maybe they are right in what they are asking but their way of going about it is all wrong."
