    Default laid me under a debt of gratitude

    Hola. ¿Cómo se traduciría "laid me under a debt of gratitude" en la frase siguiente?: "You have laid me under a debt of gratitude I can never repay," she said.
    Gracias y un saludo.

    Antonio J.,

    Creo que la idea es la de estar en deuda con una persona por algo que hizo y que no tiene precio.

    Qué te parece?

    Yo creo que es correcto. Lo he traducido como "me has puesto bajo una deuda de gratitud."

    Antonio J.:

    Creo que si usaras algo como "Quedo en deuda contigo por un favor que jamás podré devolverte/compensarte", agregarías esa idea de "impagable" que tiene la frase original en inglés.

    Solo una sugerencia
