Gary: I can't understand "ser/estar sólo un golpe en la calle". Could it be an idiom? - cogumela, Feb 5, 2012
I guess it is an idiom, we say something is just a bump in the road meaning it is not permanent and can be fixed just like a bump or a hole in the street. - Yeser007, Feb 5, 2012
Well, Yeser..that expression must be typically and English one but I clearly understood what you were saying! - drvicente, Feb 5, 2012
Thanks to all on this one.:) - Yeser007, Feb 5, 2012

Me da igual Si te golpeas mil veces el pecho, ¡ya tienes que ir a la cama!

I don't care if you beat your chest a thousand times, now it's time for bed!

(The literal: It's the same to me if you give your chest a thousand blows, now you have to go to bed!)

When I was young, some teachers believed that we learn more if they give us a few hits.

Cuando era joven, algunos profesores creen que aprendamos creían que aprenderíamos más si nos dan dieran unos golpes.
