English term or phrase: I could see you were in pain.
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra due ospiti di una casa di riposo molto amici.

A: I had a heart attack. Did I tell you?
B: I know. It happened while we were playing tennis.
A: It hurt like hell.
B: Yes, I was there. I could see you were in pain.
A: You were there?
B: Yes. We were playing tennis.

La mia proposta:

A: Ho avuto un infarto. Te l’avevo detto?
B: Lo so. È successo mentre giocavamo a tennis.
A: Mi ha fatto un male cane.
B: Sì, ero lì. Potevo vedere che soffrivi.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
