engelska-svenska översättning av curtain

gardinenMen den verkliga tvångsprostitutionen och det verkliga sexuella utnyttjandet av barn sker bakom fördragna gardiner.Yet the real enforced prostitution and child sex abuse take place in quiet streets, behind drawn curtains. Anta att någon skulle tala om för mig i dag att många människor skadar sig vid fall från stegar när de hänger upp gardiner.Say someone were to tell me today that many people are injured falling off ladders whilst hanging curtains.
