contingency
noun
continxencia
EN At the risk of exciting a somewhat derisive smile on the reader's part, I may affirm that with regard to the women who had hitherto interested him it very often seemed to Winterbourne among the possibilities that, given certain contingencies, he should be afraid --literally afraid-- of these ladies.
GL Co risco de excitar no lector un sorriso un tanto burlón, debo afirmar que, con respecto ás mulleres que ata agora lle interesaran a Winterbourne, con moita frecuencia lle parecía, xuzgando por experiencias pasadas que, dadas certas continxencias, debería terlles medo --medo literalmente-- a estas mulleres.
