Translation examples

allow me to have

era algo real y nada más que eso, mi flujo menstrual; y supe de inmediato que, si no volvía a aparecer con regularidad cada cierto tiempo, significaría que iba a tener graves problemas. Quizá supe ya entonces que la niña que llevaba dentro nunca estaría lo bastante serena como para permitirme tener un hijo propio.
it was just its real self, my menstrual flow, and I knew immediately that its failure to appear regularly after a certain interval could only mean a great deal of trouble for me. Perhaps I knew then that the child in me would never be stilled enough to allow me to have a child of my own.

afford to have

No puedo permitirme tener la concentración dividida entre tú y nuestra hija.
I can’t afford to have my concentration split between you and our daughter.

No puedo permitirme tener otro asesinato sobre mi conciencia, aparte del de aquellas pobres criaturas.
I can’t afford to have any more things like those babies on my conscience.
