The way he got away was to pay his way aboard the ship.

La forma en que se escapó fue pagar su parte (los gastos?) en el (a bordo del?) barco.

Decir que una mujer tiene sobrepeso , no es el camino a su corazón.

Si usted no cree esto, usted está lejos con las hadas.

To say that a woman is overweight, is not the way to her heart.

If you do not believe this , you are away with the fairies.

Cuando yo era joven, me convirtió en entusiasmado entusiasmé con la idea de viajar muy lejos del lugar donde me crié, pero el tiempo tiene una manera de mostrar el camino de regreso a su al hogar de uno.

When I was young, I got carried away with the idea of getting "way away" from the place where I was raised, but time has a way of showing the way back home.

When I was young, I became enthusiastic about the idea of traveling far away from the place where I was raised (grew up), but time has a manner of showing the path back to one's home.
