Estoy mirando un capítulo de 'Destino: España' y están en una panadería. Antes de tomar una mordedura de una torta dice, 'No hay que irse sin probarla'. Significa en inglés, 'You can't leave without trying it', ¿sí?
I'm watching an episode of "Destination: Spain" and they are in a bakery. Before taking a bite of a cake he says, "No hay que irse sin probarla". It means, "You can't leave without trying it, right?

One thing: 'mordedura' is a possible translation of 'bite', but not for this context. It means 'bite' as in a bite mark, or an animal bite. Here you would say: "Antes de probar un bocado de la torta" or simply "Antes de probar la torta" - bill1111, Nov 8, 2010

In English "can't" is more of a directive, whereas "shouldn't" is a suggestion or a softer directive.
"No hay que..." - "You shouldn't...", don't you think?
