Buenas,
Les pido ayuda para traducir el término "desplomado", el cual es un sinónimo de tirado. La frase dice: "Es muy probable que encontremos al pasajero poquito despúes desplomado en un asiento de la terminal".
Esta frase es de un libro de un autor costarricense que habla sobre el estrés y el cansancio que pasan los pasajeros en los aeropuertos debido a las grandes esperas entre los vuelos y otros factores estresantes. La traducción es a inglés americano.
Muchas gracias por la ayuda.
