Esercizio di traduzione intermediate in inglese • 83

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:

Credo che la vecchia casa di Kate non sia stata venduta ancora. Ti interessa?

Buon divertimento!

  1. Good evening, Teacher,
    Credo che la vecchia casa di Kate non sia stata venduta ancora. Ti interessa?
    I don’t think Kate’s old house has been sold yet. Are you interested in it?

    1. Dani, start with the negative element, use a full passive form for the main verb, and use “yet” rather than “still”. It will sound a lot more natural. 🙂

    1. All good, except at the end.
      If you use “in” then you also need “it”.
      The alternative is just to stop after “interested”.
      Happy New Year to you too. 🙂

    1. Definitely with the saxon genititve, Luca, and probably better with “yet” at the end.

        1. Sorry, Luca, I forgot to say on your first version that it’s generally better to get the negative element in right at the beginning (non credo…)
          Also, no article with the proper names and the Saxon genitive: “Kate’s old house”.

          1. I simply copy the old version and left the article; my mistake.
            Take a note as usual for what concern the negative form.

    1. The second part is good, Gaetano, but in the first part you need a complete passive form for the verb and “yet” (at the end) rather than still. Try again?

    1. Definitely your first version, Francesca.
      As a rule it’s better to get the negative element in right at the beginning.
      Well done. 🙂
