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:
Se ti fermi a parlare con Claire, non aspettarti di allontanarti da lei per almeno due ore e mezza.
Buon divertimento!
Puoi esercitarti quanto vuoiQUI.

Your comments are always very welcome.

Very impressive, Luca! 🙂
The only thing I would consider changing is the preposition ‘with’ after ‘talk’. It’s not wrong, and is used, but generally speaking the preposition ‘to’ is more common (also after ‘speak’).

No, Dani, ci sei cascata!
stop + gerundio = smettere
stop + infinito = fermarsi per
turn away ➝ get away
almost ➝ at least
“Buon divertimento” non faceva parte della frase, ma va bene lo stesso! 🙂

Generally I would recommend ‘to‘ after ‘talk’ and not ‘with‘.
Although ‘with‘ is perfectly alright I think you’ll find it is less common in spoken English than ‘to‘.
You’ve forgotten ‘hours‘ after ‘half‘. 😉

don’t expect to go away….
When can we use walk away tony?
perhaps its meaning is “scappare”and not” allontanarsi”from someone.

Well, the idea here is in fact more like “scappare” so there is the idea of “riuscire a” and consequently in comes our favourite little factotum verb GET (away from). The problem is that if I put “scappare” then people will use “escape from”, which is alright, but I really wanted to elicit the phrasal verb “to get away from”.
