"Erau interioare umile cu *dulapurile lor strunguite*, cu buchetele lor de flori artificiale aranjate pe comodă, cu statuetele lor de ghips bronzat şi fotografiile lor din America."

"their _______ cabinets"

Vă rog, ce înseamnă "strunguite"? Vine de la care cuvânt? (Nu l-am putut găsi nicăieri) Mulţumesc anticipat.

lathe-turned cabinetry
Explanation:
I think the root word might be "strung" => “strunguite” is just a variant of “strunjite”.

Mulţumesc tuturor! :)

Mulţumită ajutorului lui ProActive, am înţeles "strunguite". Şi am găsit toţi aceşti termeni folosiţi. Voi folosi "lathed cabinet" pentru că "lathe-turned" şi "lathe-worked" îmi sună un pic prea tehnici pentru context. Mersi din nou!
