La traduzione, come metodo di esercizio nell’apprendimento di una lingua, farà sicuramente parte della vecchia scuola, però, inserita in un contesto più vario di apprendimento, soprattutto con feedback in tempo reale, può sempre essere un utile esercizio di allenamento.
Consiglio una partecipazione attiva e visibile postando la tua versione tra i commenti in fondo a questa pagina. In questo modo riceverai un mio commento o suggerimento in tempo più o meno reale. Ma per chi non se la sente, si può semplicemente annotare la propria versione e controllarla attraverso i miei commenti lasciati per gli altri.
Ecco la nuova frase:
Se siete tutti seduti comodamente vorrei che chiudeste gli occhi e faceste un respiro profondo. La seduta di oggi sta per cominciare.
Buon divertimento!
Puoi esercitarti quanto vuoiQUI
Your comments are always very welcome.

Very good, Giuseppe.
“All” should come after “are”.
“Going to” is a good choice, but you could perhaps make a slight improvement to make the future sound even more imminent.

Very nice, Paolo. However, I think I would put “ladies and gentlemen” either at the very beginning or after “comfortably” and not in the middle.

Got it, Tony.
If I had written “guys and gals”, would it have been the same thing?
It’s because I have sometimes heard “and you guys bla bla bla…”.

I think so, Paolo. I mean you can break the sentence as you did, but it gives a very dramatic, literary feel to the sentence and not a natural spoken feel. Also, you should use commas:
“If you, ladies and gentlemen, are all sitting comfortably….”

“Comfortably seated” is correct, Manu, but “sitting comfortably” is more natural.

Hi Prof welcome back haha so that’s mine ” If you all are easily/comfortably seated (on your chairs) I would rather you closed your eyes and took a deep breath. Today’s session it’s about to start ( or it’s coming next).”
LikeLike
1) “If you are all comfortably seated” is correct, but not as natural as “…sitting comfortably”.
2) “Would rather” is “preferirei” which isn’t the same thing as “vorrei”.
3) In the last part you have a double subject.
LikeLike
ok so ” If you all are comfortably/easily sitting I would like you to close your eyes and take a deep breath. Today’s session’s is about to start.”
LikeLike
Anyway Prof when the object is different from the subject I can’t see much difference between ” I would like you to do something and I would rather you did something” they both urge you to do something the second about the choice of doing or not doing it. Anyway thanks a lot.
LikeLike
“I would rather you…” implies that the other person was perhaps thinking of doing it differently. There is a clear question of preference (or choice). With “I would like you to…” there is not this question of preference or choice, it is simply an invitation to do something. For me, the difference is significant.
