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:
Non gliene frega niente della mia malattia, si aspetta che continui a lavorare.
Buon divertimento!

You’ve mixed things up a bit in the first part, Roby. “Anything” is unnecessary here so your first version should be, “He doesn’t care at all about…” The version in brackets is actually better (more typical) but the preposition should still be “about”. The second part is fine. 🙂

Hi Luigi. Two little problems here:
1) anything ➝ at all
2) to work ➝ working
However, the expression, “He couldn’t care less” would be the most typical here.

Hi Nadia.
The second part of your version is fine but the first part needs attention.
“He cares nothing” doesn’t sound very natural – remember that “nothing” is a pronoun.
You could say, “He cares little” or “He cares very little” or “He cares not”, but the best alternative here would be, “He doesn’t care at all” or “He couldn’t care less”.
Also, I would use “illness” rather than “disease”.

Hi Gaetano.
Well, the first part is spot on. “Give a damn” is a strong but not vulgar expression.
In the second part you need to distinguish between:
aspettare = to wait
aspettarsi = to expect.
In this second case, the construction you need is:
to expect (somebody) to do (something).
LikeLike
Thanks Tony
he expects me to keep working.
Wait for = aspettare / expect = aspettarsi. Quest’ultimo è un pronominal verb?
La costruzione di uno o dell’altro è comunque uguale giusto? Ti ringrazio anche per avermi segnalato il tuo utilissimo post!

Si, la costruzione è uguale. L’unica differenza è che “wait” vuole “for”:
to wait for somebody to do something
to expect somebody to do something

Very good Rachele. If you use the “I’m sick” version then it would be clearer with “that” (he couldn’t care less that I’m sick). Otherwise the “about my illness” version is spot on. 🙂

Well, Anita, you’ve avoided your problem every well. It’s not perfect as a translation, but the meaning still comes over very clearly.
The verb that you needed here was “expect”, with the construction: to expect (somebody) to do (something).
I think I would use “illness” rather than “disease”.

That’s all good, Dani, except for that “anything”. In your first version, the most typical (‘polite’) expression would be, “He doesn’t care at all….” However, your second version (the one in brackets) is spot on (and still ‘polite’).
Don’t forget, of course, “He couldn’t care less about…” – very common!

Is there any difference between “to keep” and ‘to keep on” ?

Not really when you use “keep” in the sense of “continuare”.
