Answer 1

Me voy a cerrar los ojos, cuando los abra, ojalá que esté en un témpano de hielo, rodeado por de focas, en vez de este infierno muy caluroso de una jaula.

I am going to close my eyes, when I open them, I hope to God that I am on an ice floe, surrounded by seals, instead of this very hot hellhole of a cage.

¡Me encanta! - jrschenk, Jan 11, 2016

That's why he drinks so much vodka. - annierats, Jan 11, 2016

:) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Or tequila. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

Have to have some antifreeze in the system, eh. ;) - bosquederoble, Jan 11, 2016

not 'me' unless you say 'me voy a tapar los ojos'...rodeado de...would be better; 'rodeado por' sounds like 'intimidated by' - Pablo064, Jan 12, 2016

Thanks, Pablo- I don't think a polar bear would see the seals as anything but dinner. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 12, 2016

jajaj yep - Pablo064, Jan 13, 2016

Answer 2

Polar Bear: Ay! My head hurts.

Polar Bear's wife (not in picture): How many times do I have to tell you not to drink so much?

El Oso Polar: ¡Ay! Me duele la cabeza.

La esposa de Oso Polar (no en foto): ¿Cuántas veces tengo que decirte que no tomas tanto?

You sound like someone experienced in this. :D - jrschenk, Jan 11, 2016

I like it, Gringo :) oso and polar do not need to be capitalised ;) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

I know. But I wanted to so I did. - gringojrf, Jan 11, 2016

beer bottle laying on the kitchen floor if we take'm all back we can by some more, drink up we fall down and we do it all again - Nickelback - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

That gringo, he's a rebel. :D - jrschenk, Jan 11, 2016

Actually my best friend called this morning. "Gringo, gringo, estoy crudo. Vamos a comer birria de El Chivo de Oro. So it was perfect timing. - gringojrf, Jan 11, 2016

:D - jrschenk, Jan 11, 2016

:) - Pablo064, Jan 12, 2016

¿Dónde están mis gafas de sol?. ¿Las has visto, cariño?

Where are my sunglasses? Have you seen them, dear?

Thanks, Feliz

I bet the sun is bright out on the ice. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

¿Las has visto, cariño? - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Good one, Sandy. You forgot to translate the word 'them' (las gafas = the sunglasses) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Thanks, Feliz. :) - sanlee, Jan 11, 2016

And yet another one dear Sandy. - ray76, Jan 11, 2016

Answer 4

Jesus, John, put some clothes on. There are little kids on here on the Iceberg.

Jesús, Juan, ponte la ropa. Hay niños pequeños de aquí sobre el iceberg

Please tell me of any errors and I will try to fix them as soon as possible, all help is highly appreciated.

Good Nick. You need some punctuation. Jesus, John, put some clothes on. There are little kids on here. The punctiation us usually the same in the Spanish, too. :) - sanlee, Jan 11, 2016

Gracias Sandy. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

Nickel, whenever you are making a character/person give a command you nearly always use the imperative indicative: In this case, "Juan, ponte la ropa - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

One of the few exceptions is when notices are written for the general public. For example, notice written next to a lift in Spain: No usar el ascensor en caso de incendio. = Do not use the lift in case of fire. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Si Feliz it helps a lot thanks mate. :). - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

Nickel, you are welcome as always :) "Juan, ponte la ropa. (you need a full stop after ropa) Hay etc...niños pequeños - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Nickel, you are welcome :) "Juan, ponte la ropa.(you need a full stop after ropa) Hay niños pequeños I don't understand what you mean "on here" (what do you mean by "here", Nickel.Do you mean, on the iceberg?) You would need sobre el iceberg - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Gracias Feliz I could not get a clear translation for that. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

There is also another/ better translation for iceberg but I cannot remember it :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

I wonder if Dani knows ? - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 11, 2016

Great explanation Feliz :) if you want to translate 'some clothes' then 'ponte algo de ropa'..hay niños pequeños aquí..(not 'de') :) - Pablo064, Jan 12, 2016

I had an argument with a guy sobre "iceberg" I told him it's the same in both languages. The RAE backs me up. - Daniela2041, Jan 12, 2016

Thank you, Daniela :) - FELIZ77, Jan 12, 2016

gracias Dani :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 12, 2016

Ojalá que no hubiera tomado tanto vodka con mi hielo anoche..

Oh God, if only I hadn't partaken of so much vodka with my ice last night..

Hi Kati, Do not leave me alone in the global warming. Look! Here we do not have a fistful of snow either. What do other people think? - sanlee, Jan 11, 2016

Sandy, Yes that's good but I can't help wondering whether it should be "with" the global warming :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

It might be "In" the global warming that makes sense to. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 12, 2016

:) - Pablo064, Jan 12, 2016

Answer 7

Polar bear talking to his oldest daughter!: "Oh, I really can't believe it! What do you mean, you forgot to defrost the fridge, sweetheart? We don't even have a fridge...we get (ie: obtain) all our fish, fresh every day from 'Iceland' !" I only wanted you to put the fish on the table! Is Is it any wonder (ie: Are you surprised that...) we have so many problems with global warming when so many people can't even follow simple instructions! Now, where did I leave the instructions for the new radiator?"

El oso polar está hablando con su hija mayor: << ¡Ah, de verdad, no lo creo! ¿Qué querías decir que has olvidado descongelar (o deshelar) la nevera, cielo! ¡No tenemos ni siquiera una nevera .... cada día obtenemos todo nuestro pescado fresco de 'Iceland'! ¡Sólo quería que pusieras el pescado en la mesa! ¿Te sorprende que tengamos tantas problemas de (o con?) calentamiento de global cuando tantas personas no puedan ni seguir instrucciones sencillas! Bueno, ¿dónde dejé las instrucciones para el nuevo radiador? >>

Answer 10

Esto es muy vergonzoso embarazoso. No creo que nunca voy a ser capaz de mostrar mi cara por aquí de nuevo. ¿Y para qué? ¿Cómo iba yo a saber que alguien me estaba filmando?

This is so embarrassing. I don't believe I will ever be able to show my face around here again. And for what? How was I to know that someone was filming me?

Great one, Jr :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Or, you can say: Esto es muy embarazoso :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Gracias, Feliz! That's what I started with but I changed it because I confused it with 'embarazada' (pregnant)... close but not the same. Again, Thanks! - jrschenk, Jan 11, 2016

Yes, Jr, The word for pregnant is embarrazada.(estoy embarrazada) I know because I made the embarrassing but funny mistake of saying it in Spanish and we guys canot be pregnant as far as I know lol ;) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

The polar bear: This is disgusting… so much wait for breakfast! Good service is hard to find these days.

Es verdad, Raj - sanlee, Jan 11, 2016

:) - jrschenk, Jan 11, 2016

Raj, I love the post :) "such a long wait for breakfast" sounds better. I do not know if it is okay to say: "so much wait" in U.S.A. but we wouldn't say it that way in UK - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

or, you can also say: I have to wait so long for breakfast I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

Gracias, Feliz :) - Raja-jani, Jan 11, 2016

Answer 13

Yes, you should be ashamed for not capitalizing your i.

Sí, usted debería avergonzarse por no capitalizar su i.

Si, usted debería estar avergonzado por no poner la i en mayúscula.

Andre, I would say: Sí, usted debería ser avergonzado I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jan 11, 2016

It is good as is ;) it should be 'debería 'estar' avergonzado..' ;) (We'd say 'por no poner la i en mayúscula) - Pablo064, Jan 12, 2016
