Esercizio di traduzione intermediate in inglese • 227

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

Switch on your English - intermediate.

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:

Mi piacerebbe davvero tanto che veniste tutti a vedere cosa è stato fatto con il denaro che abbiamo raccolto durante la mostra di frutta e verdura della scorsa settimana.

Buon divertimento!

  1. I’d really love it if you all came to see what we have done with the money we raised at last week’s fruit and vegetable fair

    1. That’s a great version, Fede. You’ve chosen an active rather than the passive construction in the middle, but I don’t think that’s a problem. The message is the same 🙂

          1. That’s fair enough! As I said, the message is the same which is the only important thing. 🙂

  2. Good afternoon prof,

    “I would really appreciate if you all came and saw what had been done with the money we raised during last week ‘s fruit and vegetables exhibition.”

    1. Very good, Roberta, but if you use “appreciate” you need an object: “it”
      Why “what had been done” and not “what has been done”? I see a strong connection to the present.

      🙂

      1. Thanks prof 👍🙏

        So….it should be: I would really appreciate It if you…..

  3. I would really like a lot you to come and see what it has been done with the money we collected during last week exhibition of fruits and vegetables

    1. You’ve come very close, here, Luca but there are a few things that need adjusting:
      1. Take out “a lot” as you already have “really” and “a lot” separates ‘you’ from ‘like’ which is confusing.
      2. Take out “it” because you already have a subject: “what”.
      3. “Last week” needs to be a Saxon genitive (not an adjective) if you use it in this position: “last week’s”
      4. “Fruit” is always uncountable in this kind of context, so no ‘s’.
      🙂

      1. I’ll take a note as usual. Do you have a list of those uncountable names? I often mistake it

    Mi piacerebbe davvero tanto che veniste tutti a vedere cosa è stato fatto con il denaro che abbiamo raccolto durante la mostra di frutta e verdura della scorsa settimana.

    I’d really love for you all to come and see what has been done with the money we raised during last week’s fruit and vegetable exhibition.

    1. And Claudio rolls in with a “for you all to come” version which is another interesting alternative. 😄

          1. Not at all, boss!

            I wrote what I wrote “Unequal is today’s hashtag” because my translation is different from the others.

              1. I don’t know why I chose unequal instead of different!

                Do you think different is more appropriate?

  5. Mi piacerebbe davvero tanto che veniste tutti a vedere cosa è stato fatto con il denaro che abbiamo raccolto durante la mostra di frutta e verdura della scorsa settimana.

    I’d really love you all to come and see what has been done with the money we collected at last week’s Fruit and Vegetable Exhibition.

  6. Ciao!

    I’d really like you all to come and see what has been done by the money we raised during last week’s fruit and vegetable exibithion.

    1. That’s a great version, Davide. Well done.
      Just one small point:
      by the money → with the money (“by” would imply that the money acted autonomously!)
      (I think your thumbs got in the way when you were typing “exhibition”.)
      🙂

      1. I was undecided between by and with…as often happens, I get it wrong🤣🤣🤣
