Translation examples
wide and tall
No la reconocí a ella ni al hombre que la acompañaba —que recordaba un poco a Bernie Ecclestone sin gafas y con mejor pelo—, aunque lo vi marcharse al cabo de una hora, sin ella pero con un tipo rubio tan ancho y alto que solo podía tratarse de un guardaespaldas.
I didn’t recognise her or the man at her side – who looked a bit like Bernie Ecclestone with no glasses and better hair – though I did see him leaving, an hour later, without her, but with a blond guy so wide and tall he just had to be a bodyguard.
No quiso volver la cara para mirarlo, se apartó un poco para observarlo con discreción, muy parcialmente: era un individuo corpulento y ancho y alto, mucho más alto que él y que el vanidoso, con una trenca o montgomery y en la cabeza una boina idéntica a la del célebre Mariscal Montgomery, que por entonces aún vivía, inclinada por un lado hacia abajo exactamente igual que la suya, pero sin los distintivos militares.
Not wanting to turn and look at this new arrival directly, he moved away slightly in order to observe him more discreetly, albeit partially: he was a burly individual, wide and tall, much taller than either him or the vain young man, and wearing a duffel coat and, on his head, a beret identical to that worn by Field Marshal Montgomery, who was still alive at the time, and, like Montgomery, he wore it pulled slightly down on one side, although minus the military badges.
