Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | English term or phrase: to put it nicely | The flies were hovring over what at firt apared to be a random mass of body parts atop a king-sized bed, but which I finally identified as the corpse of a man. To put it icely, it wasn't fresh.
Mi propuesta:
Las moscas estaban revoloteando sobre lo que al principio parecía ser una masa aleatoria de partes de cuerpo en lo alto de una cama de tamaño extra grande, pero que al finar resultó ser el cadáver de un hombre. Para decirlo de un modo más agradable, no estaba fresco. |

| | Spanish translation:Propuesta | Explanation:
Creo que de lo que se trata aquí es de reflejar la ironía del original y para ello me parece que hay que despegarse por completo del inglés. Yo pondría algo así:
"Digamos que llevaba un tiempo criando malvas."
Espero que te sirva...
