English-Dutch translations for rope

touw

De deuren werden ontgrendeld en het touw waarmee deze aan elkaar vastzaten werd weggenomen. Twintig minuten later zaten de deuren weer op slot en zat het touw weer op zijn plaats. They unlocked them, took off the rope that was binding them and then 20 minutes later they were locked and bound again.

It is clear that in this area, as in many others, we are often ready to give ourselves enough rope to hang ourselves.
