You're welcome, amiga. :) - Nickelbackfan1, Jul 29, 2017

Hey, Heidi. I was talking about the amount of divers taking photos of the whale. - Nickelbackfan1, Jul 29, 2017

Heidi, which one is you? - billygoat, Jul 29, 2017

She's the one closest to the whale. lol - rac1, Jul 29, 2017

jejeje claro que sí Ambs :) - billygoat, Jul 29, 2017

lol, well, I have seen the whale shark...the largest fish on earth: 15 metres long! - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

Answer 1

Puede ser que esta foto es muy artística, pero no tengo mucha idea de que se trata. Tal vez es el profundo del mar, pero no puedo decir ¿si allí hay buceadores o renacuajos?

It may be that this photo is very artistic, but I have no idea what it is. Maybe it's the depth of the sea, but I cannot say if there are divers or tadpoles.?

Porcu: I would use sea instead of es here. Also "de qué se trata" Finally, I think you should omit "allí" ..... "Hay" translates as "there are" all my itself :) - DilKen, Jul 29, 2017

Actually I would not say "there are" in English, I would say "If they are divers or tadpoles" which would be ser (son) en español. :) - DilKen, Jul 29, 2017

Thanks DilKen - porcupine7, Jul 30, 2017

Answer 2

La vida es así, ¿no?.....cuando se piensa cree que tiene una foto del grupo junto, se recibe foto bombardeado por una ballena.

Life is like that, no? Just when you think you have a nice group photo together you get photobombed by a whale!

Echo: I could be wrong about this, but normally conjugated pensar + infinitive is translated into English as plan to verb. In this case, plan to have, which I think is a different meaning than your English. :) - DilKen, Jul 29, 2017

so should it be cuando se sienta tener for "just when you think you have"? - Echoline, Jul 29, 2017

Echo: You don't even need "think" in either language. Just when you have.... If you really want to have it in there I would say say piensas que tienes. Think that you have...with the "that" optional in English but the "que" required in Spanish. - DilKen, Jul 29, 2017

Also, it is perfectly fine, in my opinion, to include the word "think" in the English sentence but omit it in Spanish. We shouldn't strive for literal translations but typical captions in both languages, right? - DilKen, Jul 29, 2017

Use "creer" instead of "pensar" Most hispanohablantes prefer this. - Daniela2041, Jul 30, 2017

echo, please post a thread...this is a tricky sentence, - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

Answer 3

Hijo, ¿cuántas veces debo decirte que no tires a tus buzos de juguete por la borda?

Junior, how many times must I tell you not to throw your toy frogmen overboard?

whohooooooooooooo, great ann! - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

I was one of them - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

Muchas gracias, Heidi. - AnnRon, Jul 30, 2017

Answer 4

Estas Estos submarinistas pueden ser apetitosos para mis primos, las orcas, pero a mí no me gustan nada. Yo sólo trago toneladas de plancton.

These scuba divers might be appetizing to my cousins, the killer whales, but I don't like them at all. I only swallow tons of plankton.

estOs..jejeje, bien, igual que el tiburón ballena, abre la boca y asusta, pero es totalmente inofensivo - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

Answer 5

The divers float with the sea creatures. Los buzos flotan con los animales marinos.

Creed me que esta foto es muy artistica. Believe me that this photo is very artistic. - yevmay, Jul 29, 2017

:) - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

los buzos flotan, bucean...we don't swim - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

estA...good one :) - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017

Oooops ! Thanks Heidi for keeping me honesto. - ray76, Jul 31, 2017

@ Heidi , I still feel that I am invading alien territory when I go diving . - ray76, Jul 31, 2017

Answer 8

La ballena echa una mirada a su amigo y dice ...... Los submarinistas se les ven muy feliz ahora mismo, pero obviamente no saben que ¡se está acercando un gran tiburón blanco!

The whale looks at his friend and says.............The scuba divers look very pleased with themselves right now, but they obviously don't know that a great white shark is approaching!

With corrections:

La ballena echa una mirada a su amigo y dice ...... a los buzos se les ve muy felices ahora mismo, pero obviamente no saben que ¡se está acercando un gran tiburón un blanco!

a los buzos se les ve muy felices, jeje, un "blanco" , pues no, no apetece verlo de cerca, jeje - 006595c6, Jul 30, 2017
