Answer 1

I'm gonna 'hot foot it' out of here.

Voy a huir rápidamente de este lugar.

[literally: I'm going to quickly escape from this place.]

lol :) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

or you could also finish with the words: 'de aquí', instead of este lugar (sitio) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

"hot foot" could really be quite literal if she doesn't hurry. lol - Findy, Apr 5, 2017

Answer 2

¡Eso es una barbacoa muy grande! Bueno ,espero que sea .!**

Esa parece ser una barbacoa muy grande. ¡Espero que sí! I

That is a very big BBQ Well I hope it is !

That seams to be very big barbecue . Well I hope so !

Ray, I would suggest: I hope that it's a very big barbecue = Espero que sea una gran barbacoa/ que sea una barbacoa muy grande - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

or ...That seems to be a very big barbecue. I hope so.=Esa parece ser una barbacoa muy grande. ¡Espero que sí! I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

Thanks Feliz , the second suggestion is closer to what I am trying to say. Thanks mate . - ray76, Apr 3, 2017

You are Welcome, Ray:) - FELIZ77, Apr 4, 2017

Answer 3

Evacuar es generalmente más fácil decirlo que hacerlo.

Evacuating is usually easier said than done.

Answer 4

The neighbours are having a barbeque again I see.

Los vecinos están teniendo una barbacoa otra vez que veo.

or

Veo que los vecinos están teniendo una barbacoa otra vez.

Ian, I think that the word veo would sound more natural at the beginning of your sentence: Veo que etc....:) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

I wondered about that Feliz. - ian-hill, Apr 3, 2017

haha Good one! Sometimes that what our yard looks like when I get the barbecue going! - Findy, Apr 5, 2017

Answer 5

Mmm, el último sacrificio no apaciguó a los dioses por mucho tiempo. Sé, esta vez debemos de ofrecerles un virgen masculino.

Hmm, that last sacrifice didn't appease the gods for very long. I know, this time we should offer a male virgin.

Good one. - AnnRon, Apr 3, 2017

Matt, you forgot to add the negativa to your Spanish sentence: "... esto último sacrificio no apaciguó....durante (o por) mucho tiempo .. - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

(No personal pronoun 'yo' necessary!) Sé que los deberíamos ofrecer un hombre virgen. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

Thanks, Feliz - mattb1of6, Apr 3, 2017

jejeje - Findy, Apr 5, 2017

Answer 7

The woman is pushing the wheelbarrow with a volcanic smoke in the background. La mujer está empujando la carretilla con humo volcánico en el fondo.

Answer 8

La mujer: "¡Ay, caray! ¡Creía que había recordado a mi esposo esta mañana no comenzar (o no comiences?) a cocinar hasta que le había enseñado cómo cocinar bien! ¡Me parece que ha quemado la cena de nuevo! ¿Por qué nunca escucha! (Da un suspiro) ¡Bueno, te he advertido ayer que la próxima vez que trates de cocinar la cena sinmigo, te abandonará!"

The woman: "Oh, heck! I thought (that) I had reminded my husband this morning not to start to cook until I had taught him how to cook properly (well)! It seems to me that he's burnt the dinner again! Why does he never listen?!" (The sighs!) Well, I warned him yesterday, the next time you try to cook dinner without me, I'm leaving!" (I will leave you!)

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Maybe he forgot to turn the oven off :) - ian-hill, Apr 3, 2017

Answer 9

La ceniza volcánica es buena para los cultivos, pero no para las personas. ¡Deje caer la carretilla y corra!

Volcanic ash is good for crops but not people. Drop the wheelbarrow and run!

Good one, Ann :) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

Answer 10

Espero que en la carretilla , ella lleve su nieto y ambos vayan deprisa hacia la seguridad.

I hope that in the wheelbarrow, she takes her grandson and they both go quickly to safety.

Porcu, it would sound more natural in English to say: I hope that she takes her grandson in the wheelbrrow and they both quickly escape to safety. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

wheelbarrow - FELIZ77, Apr 3, 2017

Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, Apr 4, 2017

You are welcome, Porcu :) - FELIZ77, Apr 4, 2017
