También mi piel causaba la sensación que produce la húmeda piel de un pollo en el escaparate de una pollería;
My skin, too, felt like the damp chicken’s skin in the poulterer’s shop-window;
Estaba en un edificio estrecho de fachada amarilla en un callejón, enfrente de una pollería que por lo general estaba decorada con los pestilentes cadáveres de jabalís, que frecuentaban cada mañana señores mayores para olerlos profunda y ansiosamente, como sátiros decrépitos.
It was a narrow, yellow-faced house in a side street, looking out on to a poulterer's shop, generally decorated with reeking carcasses of wild boars, which old gentlemen like decrepit satyrs would visit every morning and sniff long and lovingly.
la amargura de su tono era como limón sobre hierro, y hablando, no a mí, sino para sí, musitó: «Tonterías, diría, esto es lo que todos dicen», y mientras hablaba rebullía como si la piel de su espalda fuera la de un ave desplumada en el escaparate de una pollería.
Ah, now we approached the catastrophe, “My sister-in-law”-the bitterness of her tone was like lemon on cold steel, and speaking, not to me, but to herself, she muttered, “nonsense, she would say-that’s what they all say,” and while she spoke she fidgeted as though the skin on her back were as a plucked fowl’s in a poulterer’s shop-window.
