Translation examples
The old horsehair-covered chair with the stuffing coming out of the seat was still unmended.
El viejo sillón tapizado, con el relleno saliéndose del asiento, seguía sin reparar.
The first unmended fence will mean the first snigger behind your back outside the chapel yard, an overrun garden will bring them grinning to the gate, and a roof left in visible disrepair will see them poaching your land in daylight, as now they poached ours, contemptuous not only of the law but even of my father's shotgun, which was no mean threat.
A la primera cerca sin reparar aparecerá la primera risita a tu espalda cuando salgas de la capilla, un jardín cubierto de maleza hará que sonrían en la verja de la iglesia, y un tejado en visible mal estado los impulsará a la caza furtiva en tus tierras a plena luz, como hacían ahora en las nuestras, despreciando no solo la ley, sino incluso la escopeta de mi padre, que no suponía ninguna amenaza.
