Rob solía robarme mi periódico—que él pensaba que era muy divertido—hasta que me robé su esposa. Sí, amigos, la frase anterior es algo despreciable, y enteramente ficticios.

Rob used to steal my newspaper—which he thought was very funny—until I robbed him of his wife. Yes, amigos, the preceding sentence is dispicable, and entirely fictitious.

This suit is a steal, but I did not steal it, only bought it cheap

Entró sigilosamente en el escenario para robarle un beso de la cantante famosa, entiendo que el resultado más probable sería algún tiempo en una cárcel, pero una sonrisa se le escapó de los labios de ella y una lágrima se deslizó por su mejilla, y él terminó robándole su el corazón y acaparando la atención de todos. Por lo menos en sus sueños.

He stole onto the stage to steal a kiss from the famous singer, understanding that the most likely result would be some time in a jail, but a smile stole across her lips and a tear stole down her cheek, and he ended up stealing her heart and stealing the show. At least in his dreams.

Gracias. Those were not easy ones. Unlike some of the dumb ones I have made lately (like forgetting to conjugate a verb). :) - bosquederoble, Dec 1, 2015
