salpicar

EN To pursue truth with such astonishing lack of consideration for other people's feelings, to rend the thin veils of civilization so wantonly, so brutally, was to her so horrible an outrage of human decency that, without replying, dazed and blinded, she bent her head as if to let the pelt of jagged hail, the drench of dirty water, bespatter her unrebuked.
GL Andar en procura da verdade con aquela incrible falta de consideración cos sentimentos do resto da xente, esgaza-lo sutil veo da civilización de xeito tan brutal e desconsiderado, significaba para ela unha aldraxe tan espantosa contra o decoro humano que, sen poder responder, cega e abraiada, baixou a cabeza como para deixar que a sarabiada, o trebón de auga sucia, a salpicase en silencio.
