EXERCISE 4. READ AND TRANSLATE THE TEXT INTO YOUR LANGUAGE. Leed y traducid el texto a vuestro idioma.
(from "The Spy who came in from the Cold" by John Le Carré)
... Leamas was a short man with close, iron-grey hair, and the physique of a swimmer. He was very strong. This strengh was discernible in his back and shoulders, in his neck, and in the stubby formation of his hands and fingers.
He had a utilitarian approach to clothes, as he did to most other things, and even the spectacles he occasionally wore had steel rims. Most of his suits were of artificial fibre, none of them had waistcoats. He favoured shirts of the American kind with buttons on the points of the collars, and suede shoes with rubber soles.
He had an attractive face, muscular, and a stubborn line to his thin mouth. His eyes were brown and small; Irish, some said. He looked like a man who could make a trouble, a man who looked after his money, a man who was not quite a gentleman.
The air hostess thought he was interesting. She guessed he was North Country, which he might have been, and rich, which he was not. She put his age at about fifty, which was about right. She guessed he was single, which was half true. Somewhere long ago there had been a divorce; somewhere there were children, now in their teens.
"If you want another whisky," said the air hostess, "you'd better hurry. We will be at London Airport in twenty minutes."
"No more." He didn't look at her; he was looking out of the window at the grey-green field of Kent.
