Translation examples
Whether it was the life that was being snatched from him, the future that was being destroyed about him, the eternal unavailability of the sweetness he had tasted-whatever it was, no one had ever seemed to him to be so completely and devastatingly desirable.
Aunque le estuviesen arrebatando el futuro, aunque el futuro se estuviera desmoronando a su alrededor, aunque estuviese perdiendo para siempre la dulzura que había saboreado de una manera tan fugaz…, fuera lo que fuese lo que estuviera ocurriendo, ninguna mujer le había parecido nunca tan inmensa e irresistiblemente digna de ser deseada.
she used underhand means to set my pupils against me, and thereby render me unhappy while I held my place in her establishment, and she eventually deprived me of it by a masked and hypocritical manoeuvre, pretending that she was acting for my good, but really snatching from me my chief means of subsistence, at a crisis when not only my own life, but that of another, depended on my exertions: of her I will never more ask a favour.
Malquistó a mis alumnas contra mí mediante argucias, haciéndome la vida imposible mientras trabajaba en su centro, y finalmente me privó del puesto mediante una maniobra encubierta e hipócrita, fingiendo que lo hacía por mi bien, cuando en realidad me estaba arrebatando mi principal medio de subsistencia en un momento de crisis en el que no sólo mi vida, sino también la de otra persona, dependía de mi trabajo.
