Answer 1

El primer paso para preparar ardilla a la parilla es convencer a la ardilla para acercarse a la parilla.

The first step in making grilled squirrel is to convince the squirrel to approach the grill.

Then what? - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 31, 2016

Hmmm, maybe light the grill? - bosquederoble, Jan 31, 2016

¡Perfecto! - AnnRon, Jan 31, 2016

Your terrible Bos. - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 31, 2016

I wouldn't really barbecue a squirrel. Although I might be tempted with the one that ate huge holes in my lounge chair cushions. :D - bosquederoble, Feb 1, 2016

jaja muy bueno! - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

Gracias, Pablo. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 1, 2016

Any salt on that kind sir, or maybe a little bit of pepper, it is jolly good. - Nickelbackfan1, Jan 31, 2016

Answer 3

¡Qué mal servicio en este bosque! ¿Qué tiene que hacer una ardilla (rayada) para que le atiendan aquí?

What bad service in this forest! What does a chipmunk have to do to get served around here?

Amigos, tengo una duda acerca de la segunda oración que escribí. ¿No sería mejor "para que LA atiendan"? ¿O está bien escrita así? Si alguien me puede ayudar se lo agradecería. - earthlylove, Jan 31, 2016

Es lo mismo :) - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

Answer 4

¡Vaya, no debe escandalizarse ! ¡soy curioso y punto ! ¡ meto la nariz, donde yo quiero!

There is no need to be shocked! I'm curious and now! I put my nose there where I want!

Porcu, I would say: There's no need to be shocked and now I put etc... (the exclamation mark looks odd/out of place, after the word now Porcu ! ) - FELIZ77, Jan 31, 2016

'no debe escandalizarse' 'Soy curioso' 'Meto la nariz..donde yo quiero' ;) - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, Feb 1, 2016

Gracias Pablo - porcupine7, Feb 1, 2016

Answer 5

Nueces, nueces, semillas, ¿dónde están las papas tostadas?

Nuts, nuts, seeds, where are the potato chips?

'están' ;) - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

Fixed, thanks Pablo. - 00551866, Feb 1, 2016

Answer 6

Chestnuts roasting o'er an open fire?

¿Las Castañas asándose sobre una fogata?

'¿Castañas asándose sobre..? :) - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

Thanks Pablo. - katydew, Feb 1, 2016

Answer 7

The chipmunk sniffs: "That smells good ...tell me, what are you cooking? Nut roast? Hey, wait a minute, have you been stealing my nuts?!"

La ardilla listada olfatea: "¡Qué bien huele! Dime,¿qué estás cocinando? Nut roast?.¡Oye, espera un minuto, ¿has estado robando mis nueces?"

'Nut roast' es un plato vegetariano hecho al horno que consiste en verduras con frutos secos y hierbas

Editor's note: The chipmonk thinks that nut roast is made from nuts

Nota/s del editor: La ardilla listada cree que Nut roast es hecho de nueces

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

(: - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

You better give him his nuts before he starts getting nutty(crazy). - Nickelbackfan1, Feb 1, 2016

Muchas gracias, Pablo :) - FELIZ77, Feb 1, 2016

Answer 8

Said the cunning human to the chipmunk:
"Dear friend, what can I do
To prove the warm affection
I've always felt for you?
I have within my pantry good store of all that's nice;
I'm sure you're very welcome - will you please to take a slice?"
~Mary Howitt

Dijo la humana astuta a la ardilla:
"Querido amigo, ¿qué puedo hacer Para probar el afecto cálido
Que siempre he sentido por ti?
Tengo en mi despensa provisión de todo que es bonita;
Siéntete libre, estoy segura--¿por favor, le llevará una rebanada?"

(I don't "get" poetry in English, so I'd be shocked if my Spanish comes close, but I had to try.)

..la humana astuta..'sentido por ti' - Pablo064, Feb 1, 2016

Gracias, Pablo. - AnnRon, Feb 1, 2016

My dictionary gives both "astucia" and "astuto" for "cunning. - AnnRon, Feb 1, 2016

(Sorry. I keep hitting "return" when I mean to type a quotation mark.) I was wondering whether it's a regional difference or a distinction of meaning, but I checked back and saw that "astucia" is a noun. Duh. - AnnRon, Feb 1, 2016
