  2. A smile in pain,
    "Un sourire de douleur " ne veut rien dire.
    il s'agit surement de "sourire malgrés la peine (sorrow), dans le malheur"

  5. Thank you both for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Jean Paul has given you translations that concur more with what people might say. Remember my mentioning the problem with trying to tran slate literally? The word "malgré" does not have an "s" on it. When something doesn't seem to "flow" well, try saying the same thing another way, if you can.
