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.
Ricorda l’importanza di immaginare un contesto reale nel quale la frase in questione avrebbe senso, prima di procedere con la traduzione.
Ecco la nuova frase:
Nessuno dei miei amici si sognerebbe mai di fare una cosa del genere.
Buon divertimento!
Good morning prof
1)No one of my friends would never dream of doing such that thing
2)No one of my friends would never dream of doing a thing like it
Thank you
Have a nice weekend
Hi Nadia. There’s a bit of confusion here.
First of all, may I suggest that you read my article here:
https://ingliando.net/2017/01/20/and-then-there-were-none/
Secondly, you must eliminate that ‘double negative’ by using ‘ever’ instead of ‘never’.
Lastly, your two possibilities at the end are:
1) doing such a thing
2) doing a thing like that
🙂
I have completely forgotten the rule…
Really thank you
😀👍
Nobody of my friends, would ever dream of making a thing like this.
“Nobody” qui non va, Nadia. dai un’occhiata qui:
https://ingliando.net/2017/01/20/and-then-there-were-none/
“Making” è possibile se si riferisce a qualcosa di manufatto, altrimenti userei “doing”.
N.B. La virgola non serve.
Nessuno dei miei amici si sognerebbe mai di fare una cosa del genere.
None of friends of mine could ever dream to do a thing like that
There are a few things to consider here, Manu:
1) With ‘none’ you can’t use the ‘friends of mine’ formula; you need to say, “none of my friends.”
2) could ➝ would
3) dream + of + -ing
Thanks Tony
😀👍
Nessuno dei miei amici si sognerebbe mai di fare una cosa del genere.
None of my friends wouldn’t ever dare to do these kind/sort of things
A good effort, Anita. Just two considerations:
1) why the negative “wouldn’t”?
2) why the plural “these kind of things”?
1) Oh, just realized that I should have used the positive form
2) because I’ve linked “these” to “things”…maybe is “this kind of”
I suppose I was wrong 🤷♀️
What about using the verb dare? Is this suitable in the context?
Thank you, Teacher, wish you a good evening
It’s all singular, Anita: “this kind of thing”.
“Dare” is fine, but it’s not the same as dream.

Hi prof,
None of my friends would ever dream of doing such a thing.
Great, Roby. Well done. 🙂
Thank you prof😁
Sorry for my late answer.
😘
None of my friends would ever dream of doing something like this.
Very good, Dino.
It would be a bit more natural to say “something like that” at the end.
It didn’t want to come back to my mind at all and I didn’t want to look at the notes. I thought about it for at least half an hour and then I gave up. thanks
😀👍
Ehmmm, the old age? Perhaps!
😂😂😂

Well done, Paolo. Another very good version. 🙂

Well done, Rachele, that’s another very good version. 🙂

Wow, you’re quick off the mark today, Dani! And spot on too! Well done 🙂
I have learnt a lot from you 🙏
