Translation examples
Seine Vergnügungen waren meist harmlos, dabei aber kostspielig, von geblümten seidenen Morgenmänteln, teuren Maßanzügen im verwegenen Broadway-Stil, Seidenhemden, Fünfpfund-Schachteln Schokoladebonbons, nach denen er süchtig war, bis hin zu Wochenendausflügen nach New York, umwerfenden Banketten in einem teuren Chinarestaurant in Boston, Grammofonplatten, von denen er ausgesprochen viele besaß, und der Begleitung von «hübschen lunden Mädchen» – womit er sagen wollte, dass er seine Mädchen «rund» mochte, was anscheinend das Haupterfordernis sinnlicher Schönheit war.
His pleasures were for the most part simple, but they were also costly, running to flowered-silk dressing gowns, expensively tailored clothes cut in a rakish Broadway style, silk shirts, five-pound boxes of chocolate creams, of which he was inordinately fond, week-end trips to New York, stupendous banquets at an expensive Chinese restaurant in Boston, phonograph records, of which he had a great many, and the companionship of "nice flat girls"--by this he meant to say his women should be "fat," which apparently was the primary requisite for voluptuous pulchritude.
