Me refiero a todos los que no fueran ya de antemano talidomídicos deformes, o imbéciles gangrenosos, o degradantemente pobres, o irredimiblemente feos, puesto que los que entran dentro de estos apartados ya tienen motivos sobrados y evidentes en torno a los que centrar sus preocupaciones. Si, efectivamente, lo mío era corriente, el concepto de «tener problemas» —o el de «mi vida es más dura que la de la mayoría de la gente»— era espúreo.
Was this the case with everyone - everyone, that is, who wasn't already a thalidomide baked-bean, or a gangrenous imbecile, or degradingly poor, or irretrievably ugly, and would therefore have pretty obvious targets for their worries ? If so, the notion of 'having problems' - or 'having a harder life than most people', or 'having a harder life than you usually had' -was spurious.
