Esercizio di traduzione intermediate in inglese • 133

Sei in grado tu di rendere la frase di oggi in inglese?

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:

Stamattina mi affido a voi per scoprire qual è il problema e per sistemare questa situazione alquanto delicata senza che nessuno si offenda.

Buon divertimento!

Puoi esercitarti quanto vuoiQUI.

  1. Stamattina mi affido a voi per scoprire qual è il problema e per sistemare questa situazione alquanto delicata senza che nessuno si offenda.

    This morning I’m trusting in you to find out what the problem is and to manage this quite delicate situation without anybody getting offended.

    1. Very good, Paolo. A few small suggestions for improvement (not corrections):

      1. I’m relying on you
      2. manage ➝ sort out/fix/resolve
      3. quite ➝ somewhat/rather

      1. i KNOW, TEACHER.. but, in many books I read, this formula is not followed as the authors use it even in the affirmative. I wrote to you just to learn what your opinion is.. Merry Xmas

    1. Very good, Claudio, except for “I’m confident in you” which doesn’t really work well followed by an infinitive. You could say, “I’m confident that you will find out…” which would be an acceptable solution here. The expression I was looking for, however, is a different one. 🙂

    1. A very good effort, Dany. May I make just one or two suggestions:

      1. I am relying on you (improvement)
      2. this rather delicate situation (correction)
      3. without offending anyone (improvement)

    1. Another great version, Giovanna, but I’m not sure why you added that final “not wanting to offend anyone” which doesn’t really work very well in my view.

    1. That’s a very good version, Roby. Well done. I think the only thing I would be tempted to change is “being”. It’s not wrong, but perhaps “getting” would be more appropriate here. 🙂

    1. Hi Anita. A good effort and comprehensible but with a few things that need sorting out:

      1. Can you think of a more suitable verb here than “trust”? The real meaning here is a bit different.
      2. “What is the problem” is an interrogative form and here there is no question!
      3. “without no one” is a double negative (“without” ha una connotazione negativa)
      4. “Without” is a preposition and the following verb should be a present participle.

      Follow my suggestions and try again?

  8. hi!

    This morning I entrust you to find out what the problem is and figure out this quite a delicate situation without anyone takes it as an offence. (Or without anyone gets offended?)

    1. A good effort, Davide, but there are a few problems here. You need to find a more suitable verb for “mi affido” and for “sistemare”, first of all.

      1. quite delicate situation (no article)
      2. without anyone getting offended

      🙂

      1. Ok tony…an alternative version (if it ‘s still wrong I’ll wait for the other’s that may be better than mine😁)

        This morning I count on you to find out what the problem is and settle this quite delicate situation without anyone getting offended.

        1. That’s much much better, Davide! “Count on” works very well here, but I think it should be a present continuous and not a present simple.

  9. This morning I am confident in you to discover what is the problem and to sort out this quite sensitive circumstance without anybody hurt

    But I’m not sure

    1. I’m afraid your version today is somewhat ‘approximate’, Luca. It’s comprehensible, but far from what is really needed here. Keep an eye on other people’s versions and we’ll come up with one or two good final versions eventually.
