Answer 2

Me parece que una catástrofe no es un obstáculo delante un buen selfie , o sea la vanidad es siempre el primero.

It seems to me that a catastrophe is not an obstacle before a good selfie, that is, vanity is always the first.

Awesome, too. :D - jrschenk, Oct 10, 2017

Porcu, we would say: " is not an obstacle TO a good selfie / does not stop you talking a good 'selfie' . and vanity always comes first! I hope this helps :) - - FELIZ77, Oct 10, 2017

Thanks Jrschenk - porcupine7, Oct 11, 2017

Genial =) - 00376109, Oct 12, 2017

Gracias, Coffeelate. :) - bosquederoble, Oct 12, 2017

Answer 4

¡¿Un selfie?! Esta imagen del día está mal etiquetada, debería leer decir "El juego con el fuego".

A selfie?! This picture of the day is mis-labeled, it should read "Playing with fire".

Jr, I would say: " debería decir: jugar con el fuego :) - FELIZ77, Oct 10, 2017

: We would say. it should read but I don't think that the Spanish would translate it literally as "read" - FELIZ77, Oct 10, 2017

¡Muchísimas gracias, amigo! - jrschenk, Oct 10, 2017

Jr, de nada, amigo :) pero jugar con fuego = playing with / to play with fire.The English present participle which end in ING is translated into Spanish with the infinitive verb form, in this case the verb jugar (not conjugated!) - FELIZ77, Oct 10, 2017

Answer 5

The man takes a photo in an active volcano. El hombre saca una foto en un volcán activo.

Answer 6

¡Santo cielo, mujer! Te dije que estaré allí para rescatarte en un minuto. ¿No puede un chico tomar una selfie sin escuchar muchos gritos?

Good grief, woman! I told you I'll be there to rescue you in a minute. Can't a guy take a selfie without listening to a lot of screaming?

(I was surprised to see "selfie" given on wordreference.com as a feminine noun. I thought all the new nouns were masculine.)

I wonder if it is because of "la foto" Ann? SD lists both "El selfie" and "La selfie" as ok. - jellonz, Oct 10, 2017

Funny! lol - 00376109, Oct 12, 2017

Answer 7

The fire chief: "Come on fireman Joe, come over here, right now! You're supposed to be fighting the fire, not just taking pictures of it! The real fire is over here .....that's just a reflection (of it)! "

El jefe de bomberos: " ¡Venga, bombero José, ven aquí en seguida! ¡Se supone que tienes que combatir (luchar) contra el incendio, no simplemente sacar fotos de ello! ¡El incendio real* está por aquí.....eso solo es un reflejo!"

o el verdadero incendio*

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Jejejeje - rac1, Oct 10, 2017
