Practice not being too literal #21

Practice not being too literal #21

2
votes

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

The phrase for the day is, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."

Good luck!

No seas un traidor. Se agradecido con aquellos que te brindan su ayuda.


Dont be a taitor. Be grateful with whom that give you support.

En español es una expresión muy parecida: "No muerdas la mano que te da de comer" o "No muerdas la mano que te alimenta".

Creo esta frase es más que;´´No hace daño a aquellos que cuidan de usted '' o '' No involucar a los innocentes en sus acciónes violencias''. Es simplemente; ''Piense antes de actuar.''
