Carlos Pablo MIGUES-LABANCA, B.A. (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:	English > Spanish
Subject:	General
Level of diffculty:	Difficult / demanding
Word or term in question:	cleared his throat
Context:	Noting the Duke´s discomfiture, the doctor stepped forward with a sideways glance to check that no one was within hearing distance, and cleared his throat nervously. Literary piece of writing. Again, I am desperately looking for a NATURAL way of conveying this in Spanish. I even figure out the movements in the doctor´s mouth. However, I need the exact words in Spanish for this. A literal translation wouldn´t work, as usual. Thank you all very much in advance.

carraspeó nerviosamente

My comment:

también se dice "aclararse la garganta" o incluso "carraspear para aclararse la garganta (o: aclarar la voz)"
