Pensamientos - Thoughts (64):"Hay emociones que no cuestan nada. Sin ir más lejos, mi vida está repleta de mujeres que me detestan desinteresadamente."
The sentences I am going to post are by my one and only José Luis Alvite
, as sarcastic and ironic as usual
Instead of posting this as a killer thread, I thought I might post one sentence every other day or so.
I would like you to post the translation and your opinion about the sentence. I will correct the translation, and if you post an opinion in Spanish correct major grammar mistakes. You can post in English, but let's get a lot of opinions on these controversial sentences.
Please read this message from Alvite himself to all students.
And remember:
Alvite is sarcastic, always pessimistic, nothing is what it looks like
Here goes number 64.
Don't miss this thread!I am posting the chosen answers on Facebook, on Alvite's wall!

Mi comentario:
La línea que separa el amor y el odio es muy fina. A veces la vida nos tienta a cruzarla, pero siempre es mejor simplemente perdonar...
The line separating love and hate is very thin. Sometimes life tempts us to cross it, but it's always better to just forgive...

El desamor va en ambas direcciones! Las emociones del aútor, según sus propias palabras, no valen la pena. Quizá la falta de emociones positivas por parte de sus amantes anteriores, le duelen un poco, y le causan remordimientos a la vez.
The lack of sentiment and affection goes in both directions. The author's emotions, in his own words,are worth nothing. Perhaps the lack of positive emotions on the part of his prior lovers,hurts him a little, and causes him regret at the same time.

Alvites writes of women who detest him without showing any interest in him. Perhaps, they finish forming one first, fast impression and they are never able to know the man and his work. Sometimes, our past hinders, but we must leave the past behind and look ahead to today. This could be the day that finds him with his special person.
Alvites escribe de mujeres que lo detestan sin mostrar ningún interés en él. Quizás, acaben de formar una primera impresión rápida y nunca consiguen -- conocer el hombre y su trabajo. A veces, nuestro pasado estorba, pero debemos dejar el pasado detrás y mirar hacia delante . Esto podría ser el día en que se encuentra con su persona especial.
There are emotions that cost nothing. Say no more, my life is full of women who hate me selflessly.
Ser amable, ser comprensivo, ser tolerante no cuesta nada en realidad. ¿Es que está aludiendo Alvite a las mujeres que no comprenden lo que escribe, y por esa lo detestan? O tal vez a sus ex amantes que ahora están llenas de odio, tanto que se lo dan gratis? Normalmente, dar algunas cosas gratis parece un acto de generosidad, una cosa buena, pero usar la palabra 'desinteresadamente' de esta manera Alvite está distorsionando el sentido que implica todo lo contrario.
To be kind, to be understanding, to be tolerant don't really cost anything. Is Alvite referring to the women who don't understand what he write and hate him because of that? Or maybe to his ex-lovers who are now full of hate, so much so that they give it away for nothing? Normally, giving things away for free is seen as an act of generosity, a good thing, but by using the word 'selflessly' in this way Alvite is twisting the meaning to imply the opposite.
(Wondering if 'say no more' is appropriate there?)
There are feelings that cost nothing. To take an obvious example, my life is full of women who hate me for free
I think that he is saying that he has done nothing to earn their dislike. Perhaps he's right 
Pienso que esté diciendo que no ha hecho nada para ganarse el odio de ellas. Quizás tenga razón.
There are emotions that cost nothing. Without going anywhere, my life is full of women who hate me for free.
