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!
Non era niente di cui non avevano già parlato almeno cento volte prima e mi stavo annoiando da morire.
Puoi esercitarti quanto vuoiQUI.
Your comments are always very welcome.

Very good, Roby.
I’ll repeat to you what I said to davide:
The only thing that might sound a little more typical would be to say “a hundred” instead of “one hundred”, particularly as we are talking about something very approximate. I would only use “one” (rather than the article) when I really need to specify the number. For example: “Oh my God, there’s only ONE bedroom for the five of us!”

I see you’ve already corrected the beginning. In effect, here, the double negative is used intentionally to create a positive.
Your version 2 is better than version 1, but you do need “about” after “talked”.

Very good, Dany, although the subject in the first part should really be “they”.
Perhaps at the end “I was getting bored to death”?

Hi Carla.
This is an interesting case of an intentional double negative, designed to give a positive meaning! Therefore your second verb (parlare/discutere) needs to remain negative, as in the Italian.
The rest is all good. 🙂

Hi there!
This is an interesting case of an intentional double negative, designed to give a positive meaning! Therefore your second verb (parlare) needs to remain negative, as in the Italian. It should also really be a past perfect.
Also, you have left out “prima”. It’s not essential but it does help the meaning. Perhaps the most typical form in this case would be to say, “…at least a hundred times before…”
“I was getting bored to death” is perfect.
