engelska-holländska översättning av rope

touw
Hij stond erop zelf het touw rond haar nek te leggen. He insisted upon placing the rope around her neck himself. De deuren werden ontgrendeld en het touw waarmee deze aan elkaar vastzaten werd weggenomen. Twintig minuten later zaten de deuren weer op slot en zat het touw weer op zijn plaats. They unlocked them, took off the rope that was binding them and then 20 minutes later they were locked and bound again. Het is evident dat we op dit vlak, als op zovele andere vlakken, vaak bereid zijn genoeg touw om onze nek binden zodat we onszelf kunnen ophangen. It is clear that in this area, as in many others, we are often ready to give ourselves enough rope to hang ourselves.
