семилетнему Юре...развращенному
Russian to English
Art/Literary
Poetry & Literature
Seems kind of a strange thing to say about a 7 year old...unless it's just a repetition of "spoiled"?
Ире предстояло заменить мать семилетнему Юре, мальчишке испорченному и развращенному, к тому же обожавшему мать, которая всегда ему давала взятки за молчание.
A woman has just learned her cousin is getting marrried in 1940s Bessarabia.

seven-years-old Yura... ruined
I don't think "spoiled rotten" is enough here. I think that the boy is ruined beyond hope of repair, while "spoiled rotten" is a rather more common, and less dramatic, condition.

...seven year old Yura, spoiled rotten...
I think it's ok to leave it at just 'spoiled rotten'
Something went wrong...
