It seemed remarkable to Gregor that above all the various noises of eating their chewing teeth could still be heard, as if they had wanted to show Gregor that you need teeth in order to eat and it was not possible to perform anything with jaws that are toothless however nice they might be.
A Gregorio le parecía extraño el hecho de que, de todos los variados ruidos de la comida, una y otra vez se escuchasen los dientes al masticar, como si con ello quisieran mostrarle a Gregorio que para comer se necesitan los dientes y que, aún con las más hermosas mandíbulas, sin dientes no se podía conseguir nada.
