Answer 2

El hombre en la parte inferior derecha o está intentando asustar un oso, o está a punto de recibir un disparo.

The man at the bottom right is either trying to scare a bear, or is about to get shot.

Answer 4

Prefiero estar de pie y mirarlos. Es mucho más seguro así.

I would rather stand and watch them. It is much safer this way.

:) - Pablo064, Dec 31, 2015

yo también, Ray. :) - sanlee, Jan 1, 2016

Answer 5

Los excursionistas perdidos trataron de usar sus cuerpos para señalar el avión para rescatarlos, pero sin darse cuenta deletrearon "Por favor, publique nuestra imagen en SpanishDict."

The lost hikers tried to use their bodies to signal the plane to rescue them, but they inadvertently spelled out "Please post our picture on Spanishdict."

Answer 7

We are trying to learn from the great, ancient Ninja warriors how to leap about quickly and silently and with agility and fight bravely so that we can master the element of surprise...and like our hero Robin Hood, we must protect our forest from invaders..so watch out all you frackers! (all you men who want to do fracking)

Con correcciones:

¡Estamos tratando de aprender de los grandes, ancianos Ninjas guerreros cómo saltar (o brincar) rápidamente, silenciosamente y con agilidad, y luchar valientemente para que podamos llegar a dominar el factor sorpresa, y como nuestro héroe Robin Hood, tenemos que proteger nuestro bosque contra los invasores, por eso tengan cuidado todos (ustedes) hombres que quieran hacer la fractura hidráulica! (o que quieren fracturar la tierra?)

..de los grandes, acianos Ninjas guerreros..para que podamos..todos los hombres que quierAn.. - Pablo064 Jan 1, 2016

Muchas gracias por tus correcciones, Pablo

Corrijan mi español, si es necesario, por favor

Answer 8

Guy at the top. Look out below!

El tipo de arriba. ¡Aguas!

mmm maybe 'aguas' - Pablo064, Dec 31, 2015

I make that typo all the time. Thanks Pablo y feliz año nuevo. - gringojrf, Dec 31, 2015

Happy New Year, Jim and Pablo - sanlee, Jan 1, 2016

Answer 9

La primavera está en el aire, y ellos también son el aire..

¿Hormigas en sus pantalones, tal vez?

Spring is in the air , and they are also up in the air.

Ants in their pants perhaps ?

y también ellos "están" (position, so estar not ser) en el aire, Ray :) - FELIZ77, Jan 1, 2016

Ray, I don't think that you (one) can translate this or any other idiom literally between languages I would translate: 'Ants in your pants' in your sentence as: perhaps they are agitated/restless I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jan 1, 2016

When translating idioms you have to translate the core idea or the heart of the message/idea, rather than the exact words, because natives have different ways of expressing the core message in their own languages which will seldom ever be the same! - FELIZ77, Jan 1, 2016

in any language! ;) - FELIZ77, Jan 1, 2016

jajajaj, They may really have ants in their pants. Good, Ray and Feliz - sanlee, Jan 1, 2016

:) - Pablo064, Jan 1, 2016

jajaja there is an idiom for this in Spanish with ants too but they aren't in the pants but in the ****' ;) ;) - Pablo064, Jan 1, 2016

Hi Pablo , thanks could you send me a PM to explain the frase. - ray76, Jan 4, 2016

Answer 10

You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin.

Well can't you see me standing here,

I've got my back against the record machine

I ain't the worst that you've seen.

Oh can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump!

Go ahead, jump.

Dices que no sabes, que no sabrás hasta que empieces

Bueno, ¿No puedes verme parado aquí?

Tengo la espalda contra el tocadiscos

No soy el peor que has visto

¡Ay! ¿No puedes ver lo que quiero decir?

Más vale que saltes. íSalta!

Sigue adelante, Salta.

Once again, not my English, but I am solely responsible for the Spanish. I am not sure if salta really works, but I did not want to change it that drastically. Really what it is trying to say is most like "dame una oportunidad".

Hey Bosque. You slipped this one in. Good job! - sanlee, Jan 13, 2016
