Answer 1

Woman waiting at the bus stop with her children, is thnking: "We have to wait over an hour for this ruddy bus, and then when it finally turns up (arrives) it is full-up Typical!! I am certainly going to complain about this!"

La mujer que está esperando a la parada de autobús con sus niños, está pensando: ¡Tenemos que esperer más que una hora para (que llegar?) este maldito autobús, y cuando finalmente, llega ... es lleno! (o no hay espacio) ¡Es típico! ¡Seguro que voy a quejarme de esto asunto!

Corrijan mi español, si es necesario, por favor

,,esperando en la...esperar..mas de una hora por este..está lleno..este asunto ;) - Pablo064, Oct 22, 2015

Answer 2

What are we waiting for again?

¿Qué ser nosotros para nuevo?

Matjam, I want to say this as nicely as possible. You need to learn some Spanish grammar--especially how to congugate verbs. I can give you a link to SD's own Spanish Course (not fluencia) if you wish. Send me a PM. - Daniela2041, Oct 21, 2015

I have already done that, Dani, several times. - sanlee, Oct 21, 2015

All the votes he can receive on this forum won't make any difference/won't help him at all if he makes little progress because he chooses not to learn any grammar - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

OK yes I admit I am new to Spanish and need help. Sanlee has helped me a bit with giving me a link to Lessons. I am currently working on the first right now. - Matjam, Oct 21, 2015

Good Metjam, well done :) - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

I have to recognize that your translation is cool ¿Qué estamos esperando otra vez? :) - Pablo064, Oct 22, 2015

Answer 3

Mamá, ¿cuánto tiempo tenemos que esperar?

Mommy, how long do we have to wait?

lol The question children love to ask.... every five minutes or so or, are we nearly there yet? hahaha - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

Along with "Are we there yet? When are we going to be there?" - Winkfish, Oct 24, 2015

Answer 4

Estas maletas en la estación de autobus indican la época, ahora no podemos ver tales modelos, desaparecieron completamente .

These trunks at the bus station indicate the time, now we can not see such models, they have disappeared completely .

Porcu, I think it would sound better to say::They 'have' completely disappeared or they disappeared completely. :) - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

Try to avoid to use subject pronouns for objects..tales modelos, desaparecieron completamente.. :) - Pablo064, Oct 22, 2015

Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, Oct 22, 2015

Gracias Pablo - porcupine7, Oct 22, 2015

Answer 5

Mommy, aren't we supposed to be at platform 9 3/4s?

¿Mamá, debemos estar en plataforma nueve y tres cuatros?

¿Mamá, no se suponía que debíamos estar en la plataforma a las 10 menos cuarto?

Note: It is a Harry Potter reference.

more accurate..no se suponía que debíamos estar en la plataforma a las 10 menos cuarto.. :) - Pablo064, Oct 22, 2015

Thanks Pablo. - gringojrf, Oct 22, 2015

Answer 6

There's no other way they could afford, therefore they have to wait for the bus. The tough times are reflected in the faces of the people. [1943 ... USA. . . gasoline rationed] color>

No hay ninguna otra forma que pueden permitirse, por lo tanto tienen que esperar para el autobús. Los tiempos difíciles se reflejan en los rostros de la gente. [1943 ... EEUU ... gasolina racionada]

Answer 7

¿Quién ató mi cabestrillo así? ¿Cómo salgo de este apuro?

Who tied my sling like this? How do I get out of this mess?

Answer 8

Voy a ser feliz cuando la línea de alta velocidad Madrid-Sevilla ha sido inventado.
I will be happy when the high speed Madrid-Seville line has been invented.

Lol She'll have to wait a long time Perhaps she had better not hold her breath hahaha - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

..haya sido inventada..or..Sevilla sea inventada... :) - Pablo064, Oct 22, 2015

Gracias, Pablo. - jtaniel, Oct 22, 2015

Answer 9

Papá no va a estar feliz cuando se entere de lo que costó el tratamiento médico para arreglar mi brazo roto.

Daddy is not going to be happy when he finds out how much it cost to fix my broken arm.

Ann, I think that the verb curarse would be better here as you are talking about a person's bone healing , rather than a clock being repaired lol :) I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

The verb soldarse is also another valid option :) I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

Thanks, Feliz. These fine distinctions are beyond me unless it occurs to me that I need to use the dictioary. - AnnRon, Oct 21, 2015

I decided to try "tratar" since the cost would be for the treatment. What do you think?. - AnnRon, Oct 21, 2015

...de lo que costó el tratamiento médico para arreglar .... Just my take on it. - gringojrf, Oct 21, 2015

I think that's better , Gringo :) - FELIZ77, Oct 21, 2015

Sí, buena idea, gringo. Gracias. - AnnRon, Oct 21, 2015

;) - Pablo064, Oct 22, 2015
