For a while all I heard was the noise Arturo made as he drank his tea, muffled sounds from the street, the elevator going up and down a few times.
Durante un rato lo único que escuché fue el ruido que hacía Arturo al beber su infusión, sonidos apagados provenientes de la calle, el ascensor que subió y bajó un par de veces.

As Phury kept going down the hall toward the busted elevator, he thought, yeah, his parents had probably known right from the beginning that two healthy sons would lead to a lifetime of misery.
Mientras Phury seguía su camino por el pasillo hacia el ascensor estropeado, pensaba que sí, que sus padres probablemente habían sabido desde el principio que el nacimiento de dos hijos sanos llevaría a una vida de miseria.

I parked in the subterranean garage, walked through double glass doors into a lobby that was silent save for Muzak and rode the elevator to the sixth floor.
Aparqué en el garaje subterráneo, atravesé las dobles puertas de cristal para entrar en un vestíbulo que estaba en silencio, si no contamos la música ambiental, y subí en el ascensor hasta el sexto piso.

We were still by the elevator; I didn't dare tip my eyes up, lest I give away the presence of the people on the floor above.
Seguíamos junto al ascensor; no me atrevía a levantar la vista, no fuese a descubrir la presencia de personas en el piso superior.
