transitive or intransitive verb
fregar
EN Slowly and painfully, with broom and pail, mopping, scouring, Mrs McNab, Mrs Bast stayed the corruption and the rot; rescued from the pool of Time that was fast closing over them now a basin, now a cupboard; fetched up from oblivion all the Waverley novels and a tea-set one morning; in the afternoon restored to sun and air a brass fender and a set of steel fire-irons.
GL Pousada e traballosamente, coa vasoira e o balde, limpando, fregando, a señora McNab e maila señora Bast detiveron a degradación e a podremia; rescataron do abismo do Tempo que se lles ía botando enriba, primeiro unha almofía, logo un armario; nunha mañá salvaron do esquecemento tódalas novelas Waverley e un xogo de té; pola tarde sacaron ó sol para aireala un trasfogueiro de bronce e un xogo de zoscadoiros de cheminea.
