There was an audible sigh of disappointment as Narcissus stepped out of the litter, rose to his feet and greeted the general.

Hubo un audible suspiro de decepción cuando quien apareció fue Narciso, que se puso en pie y saludó al general.

According to María, when I turned to her in growing disappointment, this was normal. Mexican literature, probably more than any other Latin American literature, was like that, a strict sect. Forgiveness was hard to come by.

Según María, a quien acudía cada vez más desanimada, eso era lo normal, la literatura mexicana, probablemente todas las literaturas latinoamericanas, eran así, una secta rígida en donde el perdón era costoso de conseguir.

You’d planned to be a washed-up junkie and a disappointment to your brothers, and now that you’ve succeeded you’re getting cheeky.

Habías hecho planes para convertirte en un drogadicto y en una desilusión para tus hermanos, y ahora que has tenido éxito te vuelves descarado.

We can actively prepare for setbacks and disappointments: We can accept that for things to get better, it will take time, lots of effort and energy.

Podemos eficazmente prepararnos para recaídas y malestar: podemos aceptar de que para que las cosas mejoren tomará tiempo, mucho esfuerzo y energía.

The man had talked about his achievements and disappointments in the same breath, as if treating them each with a sort of restrained and equal dignity.

Aquel hombre hablaba de sus triunfos y sus fracasos con una especie de moderada y equitativa dignidad.
