Esercizio di traduzione elementary in inglese • 33

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

Switch on your English - elementary

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:


Lucy e i suoi amici vanno sempre a ballare dopo cena il sabato sera?

Buon divertimento!

Puoi esercitarti quanto vuoiQUI.

    1. Hi Davide.

      I would exclude your first version for two reasons. Firstly, “always” and “to be used to” don’t really work very well together. But perhaps more importantly, this isn’t the kind of statement where a Brit would use “to be used to”. I’ve had this problem before with other students and it’s not easy to explain. Perhaps if I say that the tendency is to use “to be used to” for something to which you have to “get used to”. This generally means something that isn’t normally part of your typical lifestyle. Does that make sense?

      Your second version is fine except that a native would typically say, “always go dancing”.

      🙂
