mute verb

Al volver la cabeza para poner sordina a esta confesión, leyó el gran titular del periódico que había quedado doblado junto al lugar vacío de Ken: DIEM DERROCADO.
In turning her head to mute this admission she read the banner headline of the newspaper left neatly folded at Ken’s empty place: DIEM OVERTHROWN.

La pro tección de sus padres, la protección que le aportaba Walt, el hermano mayor que medía metro noventa, su propia confianza innata, su ingenio y encanto, su pericia como corredor ( «el chico más rápido de los Oranges»), incluso su color, que a veces pasaba desapercibido..., todo esto se combinaba, en el caso de Coleman, para poner sordina a los insultos que Walter consideraba intolerables. Luego existía una diferencia de personalidad: Walt era Walt, afirmaba con vigor su identidad, mientras que Coleman no tenía necesidad de hacerlo.
The protection of his parents, the protection provided by Walt as his older, six-foottwo-and-a-half-inch brother, his own innate confidence, his bright charm, his running prowess ("the fastest kid in the Oranges"), even his color, which made of him someone that people sometimes couldn't quite figure out—all this combined to mute for Coleman the insults that Walter found intolerable. Then there was the difference of personality: Walt was Walt, vigorously Walt, and Coleman was vigorously not.
