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:
Buon divertimento!
Stava diventando sempre più pericoloso continuare a salire ancora più in alto, quindi alla fine abbiamo deciso che la cosa migliore da fare era fermarci e tornare giù ai piedi della montagna.
It was getting more and more dangerous keeping on rising higher, so we eventually decided that the best thing to do was stopping and come back from mountain.
There are a few things that need sorting out here, Luca:
Better luck next time! 🙂

It was getting more and more dangerous to keep on climbing even higher, so in the end we decided that the best thing to do was to stop and go back down to the foot of the mountain.
Spot on, Claudio. Well done. 🙂
Goog evening, Teacher, this is my best option…even if I’m not sure about the -ing form

It was getting (becoming) more and more dangerous to continue going higher and higher, so in the end we’ve decided that the best thing to do was stopping and getting back from the mountain on foot
Hi Anita. A good effort but you’ve made some similar mistakes to Fede (below):
There’s no place for the “present perfect” here. This is pure story-telling: “In the end we decided…”
was stopping ➝ was to stop
getting back ➝ go back down
from the mountain on foot ➝ to the foot of the mountain (I think you misinterpreted here!)
🙂
Hi
It was becoming more and more dangerous to keep on climbing even higher, so in the end we have decided that the best thing to do was to stop us and to come back down on foot from the mountain.
A good effort, Fede, but there’s no place for the “present perfect” here. This is pure story-telling: “In the end we decided…”
to stop us ➝ to stop (‘us’ is unnecessary; it’s implicit if there’s no object)
to come back down ➝ to go back down
on foot from the mountain ➝ to the foot of the mountain (I think you misinterpreted here!)
🙂
Good evening,
It was getting more and more dangerous tò keep on climbing even higher,so in the end we decided that stopping there and going back down tò the foot of the Mountain was the best thing tò be done.
That’s a very nice version, Roby. I think the only thing I would change is the ending: “the best thing to do”. There’s no real need for the passive infinitive there. 🙂
ok…I Just wanted tò be ” originale”🤣🤣🤣🤣
thank you😁👍 I am glad you liked It.
The one and only! 😀👍

Going on climbing higher and higher was getting more and more ( increasingly) dangerous. Therefore , in the end, we decided that the best thing to do was to stop and go down to the foot of the mountain .
Very good, Carla. I’m not sure why you inverted the beginning. It’s all right, but I think it would be more natural to start with an impersonal: “It was getting… Still, it’s a small point.
I would add “back” after “go” for a slightly more typical combination.
🙂
I inverted the sentence just to see what your comments were. .Back was absolutely fine..there..I felt something was missing..I was thinking of ..as far as..but was not sure about it

It was getting harder and harder to keep climbing even higher, so, in the end, we decided that the best thing to do was to stop and go back to the foot of the mountain.
Very good, Paolo. The only think I would add there (although it’s not strictly necessary) is “down” after “back”. 🙂
It was getting more and more dangerous to keep climbing even higher , so at the end we decided the best thing to do was to stop and to come back down on the feet of the mountain.
Thanks!

Thanks!
Hi folks! That’s very close to perfect.
🙂
Hi
It was becoming more and more dangerous keep climbing higher and higher so in the end we decided that the best thing to do was stopping and coming back down at the bottom of the mountain.
Thank you!
Hi there. I’m not sure if I would repeat the ‘double comparative’ here although it’s all right. In any case you need the full infinitive of “keep” – …to keep climbing…
How about “even higher”?
“Stopping” should also be a full infinitive and not a gerund: …was to stop and go back down to the bottom…
🙂

Keep going higher was becoming more and more dangerous, so in the end we decided that the best thing to do was stop and go back down to the mountain base.
Why did you invert the beginning, Renato? I tried to give you the more typical English form with my Italian. In any case, if you want to start like that you need a full infinitive: To keep going even higher…
mountain base (okay) ➝ foot of the mountain (more typical)
The inverted phrase sounded better in my head… 🙁 No more errors? Great! 🙂
Thank you Tony!
Then you should have listened to it in MY head! 😂
(Actually, it’s fine, just perhaps not as typical as an impersonal start with “it”.)
ciao!
It was gettin ‘ more and more dangerous to keep on going up (climbing up)even higher, so,in the end,we decided that the best thing to do was to stop and go back down to the feet of the mountain
Very good, Davide! 🙂
Just remember that English mountains only have ONE (large) foot! 😂
😄😄 you’re right!
😉👍
