How woud correctly say this in spanish

Question

I having a issue on getting a correct transition for this can anyone help me. The story is two people have a sword fight.

"Please stop this dirty way of fighting"

• gentlemen sword fight

...dirty way of fighting ( is the trouble that I translating)

Also This phrase

" so be it" The intention is something like fine or have your way would bueno be okay or is there something with more feeling.

Dirty seems like a poor adjective here. My bias? - 0074b507, Jul 31, 2011

Fighting dirty usually means underhanded, not fighting by the rules, unfairly. I don't see the context. - 0074b507, Jul 31, 2011

I guess it depends what kind of sword fight we're talking about here, hehe. - gintar77, Jul 31, 2011

It must not be a duel as that was supposedly, gentlemanly combat. Maybe they were dueling in a pig sty. :-) - 0074b507, Jul 31, 2011

Aparentemente, tu mente no es tan sucia como la mía. Estaba pensando del sentido de "sword fight" que se encuentra en Urban Dictionary. A propósito, "sucio" es la palabra del día hoy. - gintar77, Jul 31, 2011

Well, I know a joke about that, but this may not be the place for it. - 0074b507, Jul 31, 2011

Thanks for all the help - Tasear, Jul 31, 2011

Thank you everyone. This was apart of important assigment. I have learn alot from viewing the varies answers - Tasear, Aug 2, 2011

Answer 1

"No jueguen sucio!", "Paren, que están jugando sucio". "No sean bestias, están jugando sucio". "Terminen con esa pelea!" "Basta, animales, basta". "Paren la mano, animales" I am too prude to write what could have been said at a football match.

Answer 2

¡Así sea! is one way of saying so be it. (wiping your hands of the matter)

I recall this answer from a lesson in class! - Tasear, Jul 31, 2011

This is perfect! Thank you - Tasear, Jul 31, 2011

Answer 3

Also, for "so be it":

Cómo quieras / desees (tú)

Cómo quiera / desee (usted)

Cómo quieran / deseen (ustedes)

The above all translate as "As you wish," which can be another way to say, "so be it" (in certain circumstances). (You can choose between either querer or desear; the verb has to be in the subjunctive).

Answer 4

If you are translating English into Spanish, it is more important to know Spanish well than to know English well. The meaning of the text can always be found by means of a dictionary, but you must have to master the language you are writing in.

This why I am practicing translationing - Tasear, Oct 26, 2011

Answer 5

I forgot it was a sword match between gentlemen. Then somebody, let us say the instructor or referee, would say: "Señores, deténganse, que están jugando sucio", "Paren, así no se combate", "Señores, respeten las reglas".

Answer 6

By "dirty" I can think of two different things that you might mean. One is "unfair." The other is "barbaric" or "bloody."

Surprisingly, Spanish apparently uses "sucio/a" (dirty) to mean "unfair" too. So you might be able to get that same double-type of meaning you've accomplished here with "dirty" (although, I recommend you choose a more specific adjective).

I'm not 100% certain, but perhaps:

Por favor, ¡déjense de esta lucha sucia! (unfair)

or

Por favor, ¡déjense de esta lucha salvaje / bárbara / sangrienta! (savage / barbaric / bloody)

But I would definitely wait for a native to respond.

This sounds good to me... but use "esta lucha". - gintar77, Jul 31, 2011

I like the first one - Tasear, Jul 31, 2011

Thanks, gintar. I have changed it to esta lucha. - webdunce, Jul 31, 2011
