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:
Magari riuscissi a togliere il coperchio a questo barattolo. Ho provato in tutti i modi possibili ma sembra che sia incastrato.
Buon divertimento!
Several days in late…
If only I could pull the lid off of the can.
I tried ion all the possible way but it seems to be stuck.
Non usare “off of” mai.
➝ If only I could get the lid off this jar
➝ I have tried every way possible/every possible way

Magari riuscissi a togliere il coperchio a questo barattolo. Ho provato in tutti i modi possibili ma sembra che sia incastrato.
I wish I could remove the lid of this jar. I tried in every possible ways but it looks as if it got stuck.
The only “serious” problem here, Claudio is that you didn’t use the present perfect in the second part. There is still a very strong connection with the present. Other smaller points are:
🙂
I got everything, Tony! Thanks!
A bad performance this time!

Hi Dino.
There are a few things to sort out here:
🙂

(Surely in this way….. will be more correct…. I am sure.)

A few things improvements can be made here:

Nice effort, Nadia. Think about this:

🙂

If only I could take the lid off this jar. I’ve tried any way I can but it seems to be stuck!
Very good, Paolo, but I would make two small alterations:
🙂
After reading the other translations, I’ll try again.

I wish I was able to take off the lid of this jar. I tried any possible way but it seems to be stuck.
A good effort, Dani, but we need to make a couple of alterations to your version:
🙂
I wish I could get the lid off this jar. I have tried every possible way but it seems to be stuck.
Sorry, Dani, I forgot “in” (“in” every possible way). 🙂
I think I have to learn the sentences by heart.
I wish I could get the lid off this jar. I have tried in every possible way but it seems to be stuck.
Thank you very much.
There’s no point trying to learn things by heart, Dani. Just make a mental note and hope that you will remember the next time! 😉
Have a good weekend! 🙂
I Wish I could take the lid off this jar. I’ve tried in every way possible but it seems to be stuck/everything I could but it seems to be stuck
Very good, Giovanna.
“Take” is all right, but I think I would use “get” here as it gives more the idea of “riuscire” a togliere.
Both your versions are good in the second part. 🙂
I Wish I could get the lid off this jar.
tanks Tony
😀👍
N.B. “Thanks”
Hi Tony, this is my version:
I wish I could get the lid off this jar. I have been trying all sorts of possible ways, but it seems to be jammed.
Very good, Gaetano.
The only addition I would make to your version is, “in all sorts of possible ways”.
However, bear in mind, that if the person speaking has effectively given up trying, then he/she would probably use a present perfect simple rather than a present perfect continuous.
You could also use the expression, “In every possible way” or “in every way possible”.
Ok Tony. I have to confess to you that I was undecided whether use the phrasal take out instead get off or not. Then I decided on “get off” but I don’t know well why.
Accumulated instinct! 😉
N.B.
1. Instead of
2. …but I don’t really know why.
hi tony
I wish I could take this lid off the jar.
I tried all possible ways but it seems to be stuck
Hi Davide.
Your version is pretty good but there are a few things that need addressing:
