Translation examples
According to Daniel Defoe, I read, the true-born Englishman hates “papers and papery.”
He leído que, según Daniel Defoe, el inglés de pura cepa detesta «los papeles y el papeleo».
Three decades of working with paper had left Mr. Hutchens rather papery himself, like a paid bill that has been tucked away for many years and is brittle and yellowed and flaking at the edges, when it is brought out to be examined.
Tres decenios de papeleo habían estampado su huella en míster Hutchens, que era como una de esas facturas pagadas que se guardan muchos años en un cajón y que, cuando salen de nuevo a la luz, aparecen amarillentas y gastadas por los bordes.
