Translation of "Protracted" in French

Because of the protracted depression, many workers are unemployed.

À cause de la longue récession beaucoup de travailleurs sont sans travail.

- Saturn's daughter, fearing it, and remembering the protracted war which she had first waged at Troy on behalf of her beloved Argives -- the causes of her anger and her fierce grievances had still not died down in her soul.
- This feared she, mindful of the war beside / waged for her Argives on the Trojan plain; / nor even yet had from her memory died / the causes of her wrath, the pangs of wounded pride.

Tremblante pour sa gloire, et pour les Grecs qu'elle aime, / se rappelant encor tous ces fameux combats / que pour ces Grecs chéris avait livrés son bras, / une autre injure parle à son âme indignée.
