Answer 1

"Sir, you don't have to say anything but if you do say something no one will believe you."

"Señor, no tienes que decir nada, pero si dices algo nadie va a creerte."

I think he has waived his rights :) - 00ffada9, Sep 25, 2014

'pero si dices algo nadie va a creerte.' :) - 003e54f5, Sep 26, 2014

I deleted the "que" Pablo - ian-hill, Sep 26, 2014

Question: IF the English is .."if you do say something "then" no one will believe you." what is the Spanish? - ian-hill, Sep 26, 2014

'Si dices algo después nadie te creerá'' - 003e54f5, Sep 26, 2014

Gracias amigo. - ian-hill, Sep 26, 2014

I think Pablo is thinking of "later" in his comment. "Then" would actually be "entonces" in this senario - 005faa61, Sep 26, 2014

Answer 2

Police officer: " Right, you're 'grounded' now, (my) son...for the whole of next week, this time! How many times have I told you not to follow me to work! (Spoken with disbelief) You want me to give you, pocket money?!..You're having a laugh, now, aren't you!? Wait 'til (until) your mother hears about this!"

Con correcciones: El agente de policía: << ¡Bueno, esta vez, (error sintáctico) tienes que quedarte en casa, hijo mío, durante toda la semana que viene! ¿Cuántas veces te he dicho ... no tienes que seguirme a mi lugar de trabajo! (Hablado con incredulidad) ¿Quieres que te dé dinero?.¡Tú.debes estar loco ¿no! ¡Espera hasta que tu madre tenga noticias de este asunto!

Espera hasta que tu madre tenga noticias de este asunto! Bueno,esta vez tienes que quedarte en casa, hijo mío, toda la semana que viene! 'pocket money=dinero' ..'¿Quieres que te dé dinero?' - pablo064 21 hrs ago

Muchas gracias, Pablo

error sintáctico/Syntactical error: I simply positioned the correct words 'esta vez' in the wrong position (order): at the end, rather than near the beginning of the sentence!

Editor's note/s:The idiom to be 'grounded' is an american idiom or expression that has become accepted into English conversation and widely used in the UK. It means to have to stay in one place, which, when spoken by parents directly to their child, usually means the child must stay at home because of some inappropriate behaviour eg they have been disobedient or done something naughty! eg You are 'grounded' as from now! (You must stay at home) = ¡Tienes que quedarte en casa a partir de ahora! = You're 'grounded', starting from now!

Original caption (Spanish only) : El agente de policía: << ¡Bueno, tienes que quedarte en casa, hijo mío, durante toda la semana que viene, esta vez! ¿Cuántas veces te he dicho ... no tienes que seguirme a mi lugar de trabajo! (Hablado con incredulidad) ¿Quieres que te (yo) dé dinero de bolsillo?.¡Tú.debes estar loco! ¡Espera hasta a que tu madre tiene noticias de este asunto!

Espera hasta que tu madre tenga noticias de este asunto! Bueno,esta vez tienes que quedarte en casa, hijo mío, toda la semana que viene! 'pocket money=dinero' ..'¿Quieres que te dé dinero?' - 003e54f5, Sep 26, 2014

Gracias por la explicación de 'you're grounded', es de mucha ayuda para mi :) - 003e54f5, Sep 26, 2014

Answer 5

Me parece que el tipo confundió la dirección porque corría directamente sobre el coche de la policía.

It seems to me that the guy confused which direction to take, because he run straight into the car of the police.

Porcu, great sentence :) English correction: "that the guy was confused about which direction to go/or confused about his sense of direction " etc...I hope this helps .:) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2014

Answer 6

A veces puedes correr más rápido que un policía a pie, pero si ellos usan un coche de policía también, los policías van a pescarte cada vez.

At times you can run faster than a policeman on foot, but if they use a police car as well, the police are going to nab you every time.

:) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2014

Answer 7

Try to remember that when trying to escape from the police it is best not to bash your head into the windshield of the police car.

Trata de recorder que al tratar de escapar de la polícia es mejor no golpear tu cabeza en el parabrisas del coche de la polícia.

This one made me chuckle. Well done! - 00ffada9, Sep 25, 2014

Puedes correr pero no para siempre.

You can run but not forever.

Hombre, yo creo que tu quiere decir una mentira

Hkeeler Creo que trata de decirme una mentira You don't need the personal pronoun 'yo; here as Creo can only refer to I think (1st person singular ) and no one else I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2014

You could also say; Creo que (Ud) está tratando de decirme una mentira You can use the present progressive tense to indicate/refer to actions that are actually taking place at the time - - FELIZ77, Sep 25, 2014
