Answer 5

Lady speaking enthusiastically: " Well, this is the newest, crazy sport...surfboarding down waterfalls and it's so exciting! The only downside (drawback/disadvantage) is that you only get (have) one chance to 'get (do) it right' (ie: succeed)! Well, I hope to see you all later on the other side!"

Con correcciones:

La señora está hablando con estusiasmo: << ¡Bueno, este es el deporte loco y (lo?) más reciente.... practicar surf mientras bajando por la catarata. ....es muy emocionante! ¡La única desventaja es que sólo tienes una oportunidad para conseguirlo (o tener éxito)! ¡Bueno, espero veros después en el más allá! >>

"Espero verlos (or "veros") todos luego (o 'después') en el 'más allá.' " - Daniela2041 3 hrs ago

Let me add another suggestion 'surfear mientras bajas por la catarata..or..practicar surf bajando por la catarata' - Pablo064 10 hrs ago

Answer 8

La dama es una heroína o una estúpida. Nada al borde del precipicio; o desafía el peligro o no se da cuenta.

The lady is a heroine or a fool. Swims on the edge of the precipice; challenges the danger or do not realize it.

"...does (needs to be) not... (I would say recognize / recognise instead of realize / realise - American / British spellings) - Jubilado, Dec 29, 2015

I agree with Jubilado I believe that both spellings of this word are considered correct / accepted by British standards ;) - FELIZ77, Dec 29, 2015

. . . although "realize" is okay too. - AnnRon, Dec 29, 2015

..nada al borde.. ;) - Pablo064, Dec 30, 2015

Gracias amigos - porcupine7, Dec 30, 2015

Answer 9

¡Ay! ¡Toma la foto deprisa! No sabía que habría alga en las rocas cuando acepté hacer esto- no es tan fácil como parece.

Ay! Take the picture quickly! I did not know there would be algae on the rocks when I agreed to do this- it is not as easy as it looks.

we would say ..no sabía que 'había'... but it is okay I think - Pablo064, Dec 30, 2015

I haven't gotten used to using imperfect that way yet, so I was choosing between iba a haber and habría- I think they are both technically correct as well. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 30, 2015

well I can tell you that it is very very used and I can assure you that nobody would use conditional in this case altough you say it is correct - Pablo064, Dec 30, 2015

*as you say - Pablo064, Dec 30, 2015

Thanks, I will just have to practice with it. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 30, 2015

You should follow your dreams or die trying to. Life is to short for you to wait.

Great minds think alike.. - annierats, Dec 29, 2015

I have to agree with Feliz....lol. - rac1, Dec 29, 2015
