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.
Per chi è già ben avviato al livello intermediate (B1/B2)
Ecco la nuova frase:
Non chiederei aiuto a nessuno se non fosse per il fatto che il tempo stringe e devo avere tutto pronto entro la fine della settimana o il mio capo mi ucciderà!
Buon divertimento!

I wouldn’t ask anyone for help if it weren’t for the fact that the time is short and I have to have everything ready by the end of the week or my boss is going to kill me.
Thank you!
Very good.
The only thing that could be improved here is “the time is short”. A nice expression would be “time is running out”, but you could also just say, “I haven’t got much time.”

Got it, Tony.

Have a nice day
Almost perfect, Fede. Just a couple of things to sort out:
ask for help anyone → ask anyone for help
the time is running → time is running out

Very good, Claudio, except that you’ve made an inversion at the beginning which doesn’t work:
I wouldn’t ask help for anyone ❎
I wouldn’t ask anyone for help ✅

Good afternoon,
” I wouldn’ t ask anyone for help If It weren’t for the fact that time Is running out and I must have everything set(ready) by the end of the week or else my boss Will kill me”.
An alternative One : I wouldn’t ask anyone for help If I weren’t running out of time and everything must be ready by the end of the week or……
Very good, Roby.
I think your first version is clearer with “time” as the subject and then “I” rather than “I as the subject and then “everything”. 🙂
Thank you prof….👍
