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:
Da dove sono spuntate all’improvviso tutte queste persone? Là fuori, nel cortile, fino a circa dieci minuti fa non c’era proprio nessuno!
Buon divertimento!
Hi
Where did those people pop up from? There was absolutely no one, outside, in the countyard, until ten minutes ago!
Very good.
It should be “these people” (not a big problem) and I think I would use “pop out” from in this context as it gives more the idea of “uscire fuori”. Otherwise it’s all good.
🙂
Where have all these people appeared suddenly from? Out there, in the courtyard, there was absolutely nobody until about ten minutes ago.
Thanks!
Very good, folks, but you must put “suddenly” before the verb and not after. 🙂
Where have all these people so suddenly turned up from ? Out there, in the yard, until ten minutes ago there was absolutely nobody.
Very good, Carla.
Just one detail: it should be “about ten minutes ago” – but it’s nothing serious. 🙂
I’m not sure that I would use that “so” before “suddenly”, but it’s all right. I think “so suddenly” works better when it’s added at the end of a statement.
🙂
thank you so much
My pleasure 🙂
Where have all these people suddenly showed up from? Out there, in the yard, there wasn’t anybody until ten minutes ago!
Thank you!
Your version is great, Lenora. You could improve the second part slightly by saying, “there wasn’t anybody at all until about ten minutes ago”.
🙂
Thank you 👍
Where have all these people suddenly come /sprouted /popped from?
Thanks 👍
“Suddenly” is in the right place now and sounds much better.
I’m afraid “popped” needs “out” – but you didn’t use that in your previous version!
🙂
Ciao!
Where have suddenly all these people come(sprout)out from?
Out there, in the yard,there was nobody at all until ten minutes ago!
A good effort, Davide.
I think you need to change the position of “suddenly” which doesn’t sound great there.
If you use “sprout”, it should be “sprouted” and I wouldn’t add “out”, just “from”.
