There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speaker's suggestions. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Para tratar de explicar el alto índice del gen para hemocromatosis en la población europea, ha sido postulado que el gen ayuda a sobrevivir a las personas que están padeciendo la peste bubónica. El gen disminuye la cantidad de hierro disponible para el organismo que causa la peste. Todavía se tratan la hemocromatosis tomando sangre de las personas que la padecen.

In order to try to explain the high incidence of the gene for hemochromatosis in the European population, it has been postulated that the gene helps people who are suffering from bubonic plague to survive. The gene decreases the amount of iron available for the organism that causes plague. Hemochromatosis is still treated by taking blood from the people who suffer it.

It is though having one gene for cystic fibrosis protects against tuberculosis, it is well accepted that one gene for sickle cell anemia helps one survive malaria. :) - bosquederoble, Nov 19, 2015

El cerdito menor parecía más pálido que nunca debajo de una manta que le había puesto la abuela, que otra vez estaba vestida con su propio abrigo de piel, y que parecía mas joven con cada minuto que transcurrió, más ágil, más sexy y mas hambrienta..Por cierto, más peligrosa. El cerdito mayor padecía vejaciones y , al fin, después de tomar una copa de ron, juntó coraje para preguntar - ¿Que vamos a hacer para salvarle la vida a mi hermano? El policía tomó la plancha, que ahora echaba fumo, y sin decir ni una palabra y la aplicó al pecho del cerdito menor. Justo como había visto el hermano de en media en las telenovelas, el cerdito menor se despertó sobresaltado, de veras, se despertó con llanto.¡ Estaba vivo!

The youngest piglet looked paler than ever under a blanket which the grandmother had put over him. She was again dressed in her own fur-coat and she seemed younger by the minute, younger, sexier, more athletic and hungrier. In fact, more dangerous. The older brother was suffering from frustration and after a sip of Dutch Courage he gathered enough courage to ask : '' What are we going to do to save my brother's life?'' The police-man grabbed the iron, which was now smoking, and without a word he applied it to the chest of the youngest piglet. And exactly like the middle brother had seen it happen in the television series, the youngest brother woke up with a start, in fact he woke up wailing. He was alive!

No sé la diferencia entre la palabra "sufrir", y la palabra "padecer."

¿Cuando puede usar padecer, en lugar de sufrir?

I do not know the difference between the Spanish word "padecer,"

and the word "sufrir." When can you use "padecer" rather than " sufrir"?

Most people who explode themselves at a soccer game suffer death.

Given Pablo's comment I don't think it translates into comprehensive Spanish. Perhaps you can say "padecen dolor." - Jubilado, Nov 20, 2015
I think you're right, amigo. - rac1, Nov 20, 2015
Pablo, I really mean "blow themselves up" (as in the ISIS idiots who killed themselves), but the translator didn't like to translate that, so I put "explode themselves" instead. - Dogboy1000, Nov 20, 2015
