Answer 1

My thoughts as an intermediate level learner:

Our translator does not do well with this from what I can tell. And context is critical.

In the right context, I would interpret it as to go through so much.

tengo que pasar por tanto dolor para...- I have to go through so much pain in order to...

Add some commas and the right words around- and it can mean something different.

Tenemos que pasar, por tanto, el verano nadando en el lago.

We have to spend, therefore, the summer swimming in the lake.

I am not a native and I could be wrong, so await other input.

I would read this as: To go through so much in order to realize that you are where you began.

Thanks mate , the other post which had no question and only 1 word I deleted , we have decided that if they cannot even make an attempt to ask a question in a reasonable manner then they are really not interested . - ray76, Dec 1, 2015

I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as it is a difficult question, and they have made flashcards, and attempted the question in Spanish, so clearly are trying to learn. :) - bosquederoble, Dec 1, 2015
