As far as we knew, he had no family Explanation: Maybe there is a better way to translate it, but this is the meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2020-11-19 12:24:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Concerning the "el negro Juan Miguel", you can check this issue has already been discussed here: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/general-conver... "alto y fornido" > tall and strapping You can leave it in Spanish ("El negro Juan Miguel was tall and strapping") if you think the reader would be puzzled as you. In fact, in Spanish "el negro" is very often used in an affective way (I suppose this is the case here), but this is very different in English. Anyway, check the discussion above, it may help you. |
