Today write sentences with "bring on"

Question

Hello everyone. I think phrasal verbs are some of the most difficult to many English learners because most of them do not have a literal translation. So I have decided to learn one or two phrasal verbs every day. And I know you can help me with that, but you also need to learn Spanish, so please write the sentence in English using the PV then try it in Spanish. Then I will correct your sentence (the Spanish sentence, of course); we will help each other out.If you`re not sure about how to make a good translation ,just explain to me(In English) what your Pv means, that will help me make a better traslation. Today write sentences with "bring on ".

Great idea. - JoyceM, Jun 3, 2012

Answer 1

On the airplane, she brought on a very heavy carry-on so the stewardess made her check it.

En el avión, ella llevó un equipaje de mano muy pesado, así que la azafata tuvo que la requirió bajar y chequearlo.

Thanks Katy for the new vocabulary (carry-on=luggage?)is there any difference? - luisssito, Jun 3, 2012

equipage de mano = a carry-on; carry-on bag; carry-on luggage. Las maletas = luggage (bigger bags that are checked). - katydew, Jun 3, 2012

Answer 2

Bring it on. (I welcome your challenge.)

Te va a doler. (I am going to hurt you.)

This is something that is said in response to a direct threat, or what we call "trash talking." For example, if two youth are in the street and one threatens the other with, "I am going to break your face," in order to save face, the other one needs to give the first guy a crazy look (like the cat in this picture) and say something like, "Bring it on."

I think that I found the right translation, but welcome corrections.

Thanks Joyce :) - luisssito, Jun 3, 2012

Answer 5

Bring on the rain. (Because everything else has gone wrong.)

Tráigame la lluvia porque todo ha ido mal.

This song means that life is tough, but you need to just deal with the "toughness" of life. Nothing in life is free...we must all suffer in order to grow. Bring on the rain deals with those feelings of suffering and how one person deals with that suffering. After suffering comes freedom.

Thanks a lot Joyce ,I think I need to learn the phrasal verbs together the songs . - luisssito, Jun 3, 2012
