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:
Ti piace l’idea di andare in un posto dove non sei mai stato prima?
Buon divertimento!

Good morning prof
– Do you like the idea of going somewhere you have not ever been before?
Really thank you
Have a nice day

Good Nadia, but it would sound more natural to use “never” here: “…where you have never been…”
Also, if you omit “where” then it might be better to add “to” after “been”: “…you have never been to…”

It would be better if I used: ‘would you like’?…

No, Dino, “Do you like” is closer to the Italian original in this case.
If you omit “where” then it might be better to add “to” after “been”.

Hi Gaetano. Both your versions are good but are you fully aware of the possible difference in meaning between them?
The second version is closer to the original Italian in that it sounds more speculative and less propositional.
The first version gives more the idea of something collocated in time, an actual proposal for the present/future.

Hi Tony you’re right, I wasn’t aware. Another opportunity to get better my knowledge of English (still poor). Thank so much and see you soon!

Hello, Teacher

Do you fancy going in a place where you’ve never been before?

Almost perfect, Anita.
“Fancy” works very well here as an alternative to “like”, but we are talking about “movement” so you should use the preposition “to” and not “in”: “Do you fancy going to a place…”

Definitely better, Luca. In fact, you can’t say, “were never been” in English!
“Enjoy” doesn’t really work here as you can’t really “enjoy an idea” in English. The verb “enjoy” is really “godere” although it is often translated with “piacere”.
Best to use “like” here.

A good effort, Luigi. Just one problem:
about to go ➝ of going

Is “about to go” a serious mistake? Sometime i don’t know when to put “of+ verb+ ing”

Tricky question, Luigi. One important factor to remember is that in English, when you follow a preposition with a verb, the verb is always in the -ing form. This is perhaps one of the most consistent rules in English. So your “about” should be followed by “going”.
The difficulty is choosing between “of” and “about”. Here “about” sounds strange, but pèrobably not “serious”. Why don’t you have a look at my article on verbs which work well with “about”?IT might help you to get orientated.

“Like” and “fancy” are both good, Roby, but I would not use “enjoy” in this context. You can’t really “enjoy an idea”.
Also, if you want to omit “where”, it would be better if you put “to” after “been”.
