Hola

En el texto se habla de un soldado muy enfermo y se está discutiendo sobre qué hacer con él. Rebuscanen sus bolsillos y ven que tiene un monedero lleno, pero ven difícil que lo acepten en la posada "despite his blunt". ¿Puede ser a pesar de su dinero, plata...? Gracias.

Perdonad porno haberos contestado antes. Lo siento, pero no hay más contexto. De todos modos, acabo de ver el comentario de Jack y está claro que es a lo que se refiere. Gracias a todos.
Correcto. Falta la frase en sí. Sin ella poco podemos hacer...
Bárbara Oliver Sep 12, 2008:
Con Lydia y BeaRH, a la vista de todas las respuestas, me doy cuenta de que lo correcto depende del contexto.

a pesar de sus heridas contusas

May it be 'blunt trauma'???


In medical terminology, blunt trauma, blunt injury, non-penetrating trauma or blunt force trauma refers to a type of physical trauma caused to a body part, either by impact, injury or physical attack; the latter usually being referred to as blunt force trauma. The term itself is used to refer to the precursory trauma, from which there is further development of more specific types of trauma, such as concussions, abrasions, lacerations, and/or bone fracturing. Blunt trauma is contrasted with penetrating trauma, in which an object such as a bullet enters the body.

I think the only way would be for me to post the same information as an answer, so I have done that.
