fill up verb

Thorpe y su hijo, quienes al parecer sólo esperaban el consentimiento de Mr. Morland para considerar como el acontecimiento más feliz del mundo el noviazgo de su hija y hermana. Sus miradas significativas y sus frases misteriosas colmaron la curiosidad de las dos hermanas más pequeñas, excluidas, por el momento, de aquellos conciliábulos. Tan extraña reserva, cuya finalidad Catherine no atinaba a comprender, habría herido los bondadosos sentimientos de ésta y la habría impulsado a dar una explicación de los hechos a Anne y a María, si éstas no se hubieran apresurado a tranquilizar su conciencia tomando el asunto tan a broma y haciendo tal alarde de sagacidad, que al fin sospechó que debían de estar más al corriente de lo que parecía.
Thorpe and her son, who were acquainted with everything, and who seemed only to want Mr. Morland's consent, to consider Isabella's engagement as the most fortunate circumstance imaginable for their family, were allowed to join their counsels, and add their quota of significant looks and mysterious expressions to fill up the measure of curiosity to be raised in the unprivileged younger sisters. To Catherine's simple feelings, this odd sort of reserve seemed neither kindly meant, nor consistently supported; and its unkindness she would hardly have forborne pointing out, had its inconsistency been less their friend; but Anne and Maria soon set her heart at ease by the sagacity of their "I know what";

shower verb

¡La colmaron de pétalos, Bennet!
They showered petals on her, Bennet.

Del mismo modo que aquí lo esperaban a él con profecías, igual que lo colmaron de gloria, la gente de mi tierra me esperaba a mí.
Just as the people here awaited him with prophecy, just as they showered him with glory, the people of my land awaited me.

heap verb

Si alguna vez nos libramos de la opresión y los males que nos colmaron, debemos pagar por la remoción.
If we ever get free from the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for the removal.

Me animaron a interesarme por un puesto docente que acababa de quedar libre en su universidad, perfecto para alguien de mis conocimientos, y colmaron mi trabajo de cumplidos.
They urged me to inquire about a faculty position that had just become available at their university—exactly the thing for someone with my background—and heaped my work with compliments.

Entonces, por fin, me di cuenta del tétrico humorismo del método que habían adoptado para conferirme aquel gran honor; pero la idea que cruzo por mi mente de que aquel titulo fuese solamente una burla quedó prontamente refutada por la sinceridad de las felicitaciones con que me colmaron los jueces primero y los nobles después.
Now, at last, I saw the grim humor of the method they had adopted to do me this great honor, but that there was any hoax in the reality of the title they had conferred upon me was readily disproved by the sincerity of the congratulations that were heaped upon me by the judges first and then the nobles.
