Esercizio di traduzione intermediate in inglese • 65

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:

L’escursione sull’Etna fu l’esperienza più incredibile che chiunque di noi avesse mai vissuto.

Buon divertimento!

    1. Very good, Paolo. Remember, though, that “anyone” is a pronoun and can’t be used with “of us”. In this case you need “any of us”. You could use “anyone” on its own: “…that anyone had ever…” But the meaning would be more general.
      One other small point, we don’t have the expression “to LIVE an experience” in English. We use the expression “to HAVE an experience.”

    Good morning prof,
    The excursion to Etna was the most amazing experience that any of us had ever had(lived).

    P. S i have a doubt prof…. None or any. As you see I opted for the second one.

    1. Definitely ‘any’ here, Roby, ‘none’ would give it a negative connotation.
      I would say ‘the excursion ON Etna’ in this case. ‘To’ focuses more on the journey towards the mountain whereas ‘on’ focuses more on actually being ‘on’ the mountain.
      🙂

      2) everybody of us ❎ any of us ✅
      3) had ever done ❎ had ever had ✅

    1. Anita, hai messo il secondo verbo al ‘past perfect’ è ci sta bene, ma il primo non può essere ‘present perfect’ nel momenti in cui questo è chiaramente un ‘racconto’, sconnesso dal presente. Ci sta il ‘past simple’ all’inizio: ‘was’.
      1) The excursion ON Etna…
      2) any of us
      3) In inglese non c’è l’espressione to ‘live’ an experience. Qualche altro verbo?

  5. Etna hike was the most incredible experience that anybody (of us ?? ) have ever experienced ??

    Like

    1. Hi Luca. You need the definite article at the beginning: ‘The Etna hike’.
      chiunque di noi = any of us
      The last verb must be a ‘past perfect’, not ‘present perfect’.
      Perhaps you can think of a different verb to avoid that repetition?

    The Etna excursion was the more incredible experience than whoever of us had ever lived

      1. Hi Gaetano.
        All good up to “experience”, then you got a bit confused. You left “than” which was presumably from your original “comparative” form, but it isn’t needed with the superlative. You just need a simple “that” and then “any” (chiunque).
        Also, in English, you can’t use the verb “live” with “experience. You’ll need to find another verb.
        Try again. 🙂

          Tony posso chiederti come mai il verbo live non va bene con esperienza? Grazie

          1. We simply don’t have the expression “to live an experience”. What we do have, and what would be best here, is “to have an experience”.
            I would avoid “gone through” because it tends to sound ‘negative’ (tipo: subire).
