Hello, everyone.

I will be doing the Picture of the Day's threads untill Jen is back again, hehe. So I hope I will do this as well as Jen used to.

-------------------------------------

Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language correctness.

This thread will be corrected by Zadeworks and checked by Chris for English mistakes grin

And please correct my mistakes in English smile

.

Rules:
? Captions should be a minimum of four words and a maximum of four sentences in length.
? The sentences M U S T be your own work: you cannot copy from the translator, books or any other source.
? Idioms and lyrics which do not translate should be avoided.
? You can only answer once.
? Answers must caption the picture in both English and Spanish.
? You must correct your answer with any corrections that are given.
? Sentences must be comprehensible after three or four reads.
? Do not post pictures or unnecessary subject pronouns in Spanish.
----------
Answers which do not follow the rules will not be corrected or accepted.


.

My example:

.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear

El coraje no es la ausencia del miedo, sino el considerar que algo es más importante que el miedo.

Is that lovely breeze I feel real? Or is it just that windmill behind me?

¿Es esa brisa estupenda que siento real? ¿O es el molino de viento detrás de mí?

Si yo tuviera el coraje para hablar más, tal vez mi español mejoraría

If I had the courage to speak more, perhaps my spanish would improve.

"Sancho, what's wrong?

Sorry, Don, something is wrong with the camera. One more try, please."

"¿Sancho, qué pasa?

Perdón, Don, algo está mal con la cámara. Una vez más, por favor."

El imagen representa a Don Quijote quien estaba loco, no me extraña de que tuviera valor, no sabía la realidad de la ficción.

The image depicts Don Quijote who was crazy. No wonder he was couragous, he didn't know reality from fiction.

''What do you mean, ''windmills'', Sancho ? I cannot see any windmills...you are imagining these things!'' mad rolleyes raspberry tongue rolleye LOL

= 'A qué te referes con los ''molinos de viento'', Sancho? ¡No puedo ver ningún molinos!.. Estás imaginando estas cosas' mad rolleyes raspberry tongue rolleye LOL

Corregid mi español, por favor smile grin

''Qué quieres decir, ''molinos de viento'', Sancho? ¡No puedo ver ningún molinos.. estás imaginando estas cosas!''

Editor's note; I have intentionally created this sentence to depict Don Quijote in triumphant denial of the facts!

¿A qué te refieres con "molinos de viento", Sancho? ¡No puedo ver ningún molino! Estás imaginando estas cosas, - I've said "A qué te refieres" because in this case it doesn't make more sense to say "qué quieres decir molinos de viento" ... Well done :D ! - Vicente1, Jun 29, 2011
