Hola,
En el siguiente contexto, cómo se podría traducir en inglés "atravesado por el dolor"?
"(...)Una guía gastronómica que dibuja entre platillo y platillo la silueta de un México atravesado por el dolor.(...)"
Había pensado "the silouette of Mexico tainted with stabbing pain"?
Saludos

crossed by pain
México es un territorio, un país. Yo utilizaría crossed, para dar la idea de que el dolor atraviesa a todo México. Es un México cruzado (atravesado) por el dolor. Me parece más accurate que wracked, que es más como desvastado, como derrumbado por el dolor. Creo que la idea no es la del derrumbe o la devastación sino la de un país que está profundamente dolorido, de lado a lado (o de costa a costa)

: This is just wrong. We don't use "crossed by" like this in English; therefore, no English speaker will understand.
