Answer 1

Lo que no se puede ver en esta foto es el globo de pescador grande que está cazando el tiburón.

What you can't see in this picture is the giant fisherman balloon that is hunting the shark.

Hi Echoline! Maybe you mean "Lo que no se puede ver o lo que usted no puede ver " ... ;) - 00376109, Jul 2, 2017

“Hey, Mr. Shark guy, go pick on someone your own size.”

Answer 3

Primero teníamos que preocuparnos por tiburones en el océano, luego teníamos que preocuparnos por tiburones terrestres, no me digas que ahora hay tiburones aéreos.

First we had to worry about sharks in the ocean, then we had to worry about land sharks, don't tell me that now there are have aerial sharks.

Answer 12

El gato merecía bien este gran asusto. Intento comer el pez pequeño en su pecera .

The cat deserved this great scare. He was trying to eat the small fish in its fish bowl.

Porcu, I think that the imperfect indicative: intentaba comer works better here! I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jul 1, 2017

was trying / used to do something = imperfect:) - FELIZ77, Jul 1, 2017

Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, Jul 2, 2017

Answer 13

No te preocupes. Este tiburón es como un pez a fuera de agua. gallina en corral ajeno.

Do not worry. This shark is like a fish out of water.

Fish out of water is someone who is out of his or her normal environment or range of activities.

Thanks for the interesting correction, Feliz

Note that como pez fuera del agua might work as well.

Sassette, Este tiburón es como gallina en coral ajeno. I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Jul 1, 2017

Wow, thanks for the info, Feliz. I didn't know that. It's very interesting how it's put in Spanish. I'll make the correction.:) - Sassette, Jul 1, 2017

I suspect it is corral, not coral. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 1, 2017

But I do think: como pez fuera del agua works. - bosquederoble, Jul 1, 2017

Right Bosquederobl! It's corral and I think it works But I'll wait for the experts. ;) - 00376109, Jul 2, 2017

Answer 14

The cat: "What the heck was that?!!! And I was just on the point of working out how to get the fish out of the bowl! Life is not fair for all us cats!"

La gata: "¿Qué diablos fue eso!¡Y yo estaba a punto de resolver (o solucionar) cómo sacar el pez de la pecera! ¡La vida no es justa para todos nosotros...los gatos!"

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Hi Feliz! Just a typo "justa" y maybe "los gatos" Sounds more natural Your Spanish is great! - 00376109, Jul 2, 2017

Muchas gracias por tu corrección y tu palabra de ánimo, Coffee :) - FELIZ77, Jul 2, 2017
