La fama

reputation, fame

DO NOT use the translator!! ¡No usar el traductor!

Work must be done by yourself.
This thread is about YOUR ability not the ability of the translator. wink

Post your sentences in Spanish and English, then vote for the ones you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes and language correctness.

These threads are kindly moderated by Heidita. Please correct your posts according to Heidita’s indications and suggestions smile.

Posts which will not be corrected or accepted:
• Captions with 3 words or less
• Paragraphs with more than 4 lines
• Posts which cannot be understood it is read three or four times
• Posts which consist mainly of lyrics or idioms which do not translate.
• Captions copied directly from books or other sources.
• Multiple posts from one person, or those who don't write the sentences in both English and Spanish.
• Remember to use the Word of the Day in a typical Spanish sentence. This is great practice for you and for everyone that reads the thread to see how the Word of the Day could be used in a sentence.

Remember to correct your posts as suggested or they can NOT be "accepted".
Do not use subject pronouns in Spanish. (You'll be sent to the dunce corner!)


My Example:

Creo que a muchas personas en SpanishDict les gustan los puntos de reputación, supongo que quieren tener fama. Me gustan los votos, pero tengo un objetivo: Voy a ser fluido en español.


I think that a lot of people on SpanishDict really like reputation points, I guess they want to be famous on SpanishDict. I like the votes, but I have a goal: I am going to be fluent in Spanish!

....everyone, sorry the The Word of the Day that I posted doesn't match the Word of the Day....the list says that La Fama is the word of the day for today, and Lentamente will be the word of the day a few days from now...maybe a computer glitch? - 001a2987, Jul 10, 2011

La fama parece genial a la distancia pero de cerca no se ve tan bueno.

Fame seems great from a distance but close up doesn't look so good

La fama puede ser muy agradable - estar venerado por los muchedumbres, estar el ídolo, tener dinero... pero puede también destruir la vida - cero de intimidad, falta de tiempo para sus aficiónes...
