Translation examples
noun
And yet did not gossip whisper that he was not his father’s son, and was there not, somewhere deep within him, an uneasy suspicion that there was a blot on his scutcheon, a freakish strain in his clear Norfolk blood?
¿Y sin embargo no corrían rumores de que no era hijo de su padre? ¿Y acaso no albergaba, en lo más hondo de su ser, la incómoda sospecha de que había una mancha en su escudo de armas, una cepa extraña en su diáfana sangre de Norfolk?
His claims, his pretensions, his dimensions, his assumptions and consumptions, above all the manner in which he causes every surrounding object (on my poor premises or within my poor range) to tell a dingy, or deplorable tale-all this makes him the very scourge of my life, the very blot on my scutcheon.
Sus reclamos, sus pretensiones, sus dimensiones, sus presunciones y sus destrucciones, sobre todo su manera de hacer que todos los objetos que nos rodean (en mi pobre vivienda o dentro de mi pobre alcance) cuenten una historia deslucida o deplorable…, todo esto lo convierte en el verdadero flagelo de mi vida, en la mancha en mi escudo de armas.
