Corregid mi español, por favor :)) - Issabela, Feb 27, 2010
I would say "Mis pensamientos son como una calle sin salida el día de hoy. No llevan a ningún lado". - Mokay, Feb 27, 2010
Well... I have to say it is a tricky sentence, in my daily language to describe something that it is only for today, I would use 'estar' also. "Hoy estoy mal calculando" But I wonder what is more correct gramatically... I would put hoy at start also. - Zizoun, Feb 27, 2010
...hoy están.or están hoy como.... - melipiru, Feb 27, 2010
gracias a todos :)) - Issabela, Feb 27, 2010
EStoy de acuerdo con Mokay, los pensamientos SON como una calle ..., no llevan a ninguna parte - 00494d19, Feb 27, 2010
gracias de nuevo :) - Issabela, Feb 27, 2010

La salida y entrada de los aviones en los aeropuertos españoles durante la Semana Santa va a ser caótica.

The departures and arrivals of planes at Spanish airports during Easter are going to be chaotic.

(By the way, this is going to happen for real...)

No me queda otra salida. Tengo que confesar lo que he hecho.

There is no other way out but to confess what I have done.

This is an old saying in English:

"¡Ahí está la salida!" "No dejes que la puerta te golpee donde el buen Señor te divide".

There's the exit! Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!

Need I explain?

Hay más espacio para las piernas en los pasillos de salida en un avión.

There is more legroom in the exit aisles on a plane.

Creí que la computadora no funcionaba, pero olvidé conectar la salida de video. Ya está bien.

I thought the computer didn't work, but I forgot to connect the video output. It's fine now.

salida:

  • Odiaba la escuela secundaria, y quería sólo encontrar la salida. Tuve grados horribles un 1,2 medio y fui puesto en clases especiales para alumnos lentos. ¡Qué gracioso! gradué el colegio en ingeniería estructural de la parte (superior) de mi clase y con honores.

  • (I am not sure about the use of the word -- "superior" -- in this context. Any ideas about this use? -- please comment)


I hated high school and only wanted to find the way out. I had horrible grades a 1.2 average and I was put in special classes for slow learners. How funny, I graduated college in structural engineering the top of my class with honors. .

Dijo en el teatro ataño,"la salida es la tabla a la derecha", o "la sailda-tabla derecha." Fue a dicho mejor, "sailda de escena a la derecha." Said in the theater yesteryear, "the exit is stage right", o "the exit-stage right." It was best said, "exit stage right".
