Hola colegas!
Me pregunto si "sábana de tela" es una buena traducción para este término que aparece en el texto siguiente:
"He has a bag with him. He holds the handle of that bag in his hand.
In the bag is a large sheet of cloth."

Comment: "Gracias Sol, por aclararme la duda. Aunque todas las sugerencias han sido buenas y correctas, pienso que la tuya es la mas aceptable. Como tu dices, a sheet of cloth no necesariamente es una sabana. Y en este caso es muy cierto ya que lo que llevaba en la bolsa era un paracaidas, (de esto ultimo me he enterado despues.
De todas maneras gracias a todos por sus sugerencias."
