Answer 1

Las actividades en la piscina siempre son fascinantes. Hoy estamos embelesados.

The activities at the swimming pool are always fascinating. Today we’re spellbound.

Muy bueno Raj. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 13, 2016

Gracias, Nick! :) - Raja-jani, Jan 13, 2016

'Embelesado' new word for me :D - Pablo064, Jan 14, 2016

Pablo, I knew you were learning English, but I am glad you are learning Spanish too! :D - Raja-jani, Jan 14, 2016

Excellent. Thanks amigos. :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Raj, even native speakers in any language need to keep learning ;) - FELIZ77, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 2

I'm runnin' with the pack

Never lookin' back

You try to keep me in cages

But baby, you got to catch me first

You think your law is contagious

I'll do my best, you can do your worst

Ando con la manada

Y nunca miro hacia atrás

Tratas de guardarme en jaulas

Pero nena, tienes que atraparme antes

Piensas que tus reglas son contagiosas

Haré mi mejor esfuerzo (para hacer lo que me da la gana), puedes hacer lo que quieras (para tratar de impedirlo)

Once again the English is not mine, but the Spanish is. I tried to get to the root meaning of the last sentence.

¡Muy impresionante, Bosque! :) - FELIZ77, Jan 13, 2016

Gracias, Feliz. :) - bosquederoble, Jan 13, 2016

Gracias a Bosque por esta idea:

Pequeñito, tenemos que salir de este lugar, ,si es así sea la última cosa que tengamos que hacer.

Tenemos que salir de este lugar, Chico, ahí fuera, hay una vida mejor para nosotros y para

tú. ti.

Kid, we've got to get out of this place; if it's the last thing we ever do. We've got to get out

this place. Kid, out side, there's a better life for us and you.

Thanks Pablo

Nadie está contento con su suerte.

Es verdad, Katy. How are you? - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 6

Oye cada unoOigan todos, miren que hay allí. No, gracias, lo he visto antes.

Hey everybody, look at that over there. No thanks, I've seen it before.

'Oigan todos' instead of 'oye cada uno' ;)..miren que hay allí.. ;) - Pablo064, Jan 14, 2016

Ha ha, how true, Esteban. Thanks Pablo :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 7

Por suppuesto da lo mismo que se trate de un chico o de cachorros. Un niño es niño.

Of course it does not matter that it is a human boy or puppies. A child is a child.

"Da lo mismo que se trate (subjunctive)" de un niño (we do not use "human" in the expresión because "un niño" is indeed a human) - Waidh, Jan 13, 2016

"o de cachorros" (we must repeat the preposition "de"; without the article (generalization) ) ;) But a good one! - Waidh, Jan 13, 2016

No matter how furry they are. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 13, 2016

Gracias Waidh - porcupine7, Jan 14, 2016

Very good, Kati and thank Waidh and Nick. :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

You are welcome, Porcupine :)) - Waidh, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 8

¿Lo Que está mal con nosotros? Ni siquiera comemos hierba. Aún, alguna fuerza inexplicable nos hace queremos querer lo que se encuentra al otro lado de la valla.

What's wrong with us? We don't even eat grass. Yet, some unexplained force draws us to want what is on the other side of the fence.

:-D - 00551866, Jan 13, 2016

Well the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. ;) - bosquederoble, Jan 13, 2016

¿Qué está...?..hace querer lo que. :) - Pablo064, Jan 14, 2016

Gracias, amigos. :) - jrschenk, Jan 14, 2016

Ain't it the truth :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 9

Puppy: I wonder what our mothers are doing?

la cachorra: Me pregunto lo que nuestras madres están haciendo?

Little boy : I do not know but I am glad to have you guys as my friends.

Niño: no sé, pero me alegro de que estés chicos como mis amigos.

Please tell me if I have made an error, and I will try to fix it as soon as possible , all help is highly appreciated.

Hi, Nickelbackfan, just a minor change: if you use "me pregunto" in Spanish, the sentences turns into an indirect question, so no questions signs are used in that case :)) - Waidh, Jan 13, 2016

"the sentence" "question signs" ;) So, or not signs or ¿Qué estarán haciendo nuestras madres? - Waidh, Jan 13, 2016

Gracias Ana. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 13, 2016

Good work, Nick and Ana :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 10

Todos ellos: Creo que podría ser. . . . Creo que es. . . ¡Es! ¡Es! ¡Es mamá!

All of them: I think it might be. . . . I believe it is. . . . It is! It is! It's Mommy!

'Creo que podría ser' would be better:) - Pablo064, Jan 14, 2016

Ah, yes, Very good, as always, Ann. Thanks so much for all your corrections, Pablo. :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Thanks, Pablo. What would I do without you? Could you come to Ecuador with me as my interpreter? ;>) - AnnRon, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 11

Young boy: "So (well) guys, what are we all looking at?"

The dogs answer at the same time (if dogs could talk) : "Can't you tell (guess correctly), friend? We are very excited to see all that (ie: so much) grass there, and the chance to chase all the neighbourhood cats....but please do not 'let the cat out of the bag'! (don't give the game away!) "

El niño pequeño: << Bueno, chicos (perros) ¿qué todos estamos mirando? >>

Los perros contestan al mismo tiempo (si los perros pudieran hablar): << ¿No puedes acertar, amiguito? ¡Estamos muy emocionados por ver tanta hierba ahí, y la oportunidad de (o a/para?) perseguir todos los gatos de la vecindad.... pero ....por favor, ¡no levanta la liebre! >> (o no describas el pastel! >> )

Editor's note/s: I am using the term 'guys' very loosely here as I realize that the boy is really (ie: literally) talking to dogs, not people, and so for this reason I have placed the correct word 'perros' in Spanish, in parenthesis! I wasn't sure if I could use chicos in this kind of way! ? Any guidance gratefully received

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

..perseguir a..no levantes la liebre.. ;) - Pablo064, Jan 14, 2016

Always fun to read your entries, Feliz. Thanks for all the help :) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Thank you very much for those kind words, Sanlee :) - FELIZ77, Jan 14, 2016

You are most welcome, I really enjoy using my Spanish to help people :) - FELIZ77, Jan 14, 2016

:) - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 14

Boy or dog, the desire to play with a ball is the same.

Niño o perro, el deseo de jugar con una pelota es igual.

Niño o perro, las ganas de jugar con una bola son iguales.

:) - Pablo064, Jan 14, 2016

Thanks Pablo. - 00551866, Jan 14, 2016

Yes, Andreknue, so true. - sanlee, Jan 14, 2016

Answer 15

Guys, when the man is asleep we go in and eat his breakfast.

Ray, entrEmos y comAmos etc....(You need the imperative/or command form here ) I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jan 14, 2016

Thanks Feliz, I never remember the command form. - ray76, Jan 14, 2016
