¡No mires lejos cuando te estoy hablando! Tu madre instigó esto, ¿Es verdad?

Corrected: ¡No apartes la mirada cuando te hablo! Tu madre instigó esto, ¿Es verdad?

Don't you look away when I am talking to you! Your mother put you up to this, didn't she?

Me parece que los pingüinos son siempre muy elegantes en este vestido de negro y blanco, enanitos en frac.

It seems to me that the penguins are always very elegant in this dress of black and white, dwarfs in tailcoats.

Global warming is affecting the penguins mood, they don't dance like they used to.

El calentamiento global está afectando el estado de ánimo de los pingüinos, no bailan como solían hacerlo.

Pingüino a la derecha: Gertrude, no vas a creer lo que descubrí cuando busqué en Google "focas y pingüinos." Solo diré que las focas no son caballeros. Tenemos que irnos ahora mismo.

Penguin to the right: Gertrude, you're not going to believe what I found out when I Googled "seals and penguins." I'll just say that seals are no gentlemen. We need to get out of here right now.

Con correcciones:

El pingüino en la derecha está hablando con su novia: "¡Me da la sensación que las focas son muchos más que nosotros! ¿Crees que están tratando de lanzarnos una indirecta?" La novia: "¡Bueno, nos dijeron hace tres días y que esperaban que hubieramos disfrutado nuestra estancia aquí y que esperaban que tendríamos un buen viaje!"

they did say: Nos dijeron....they hoped: y que esperaban smile - Coffeelate 15 hrs ago

Mil gracias por tus correcciones, Caffecita smile

The penguin on the right is talking to his girlfriend: "I get the feeling that we're outnumbered by the seals! Do you think that they're trying to.tell us something?!" The girlfriend: "Well, they did say to us three days ago that they hoped we had enjoyed our stay here, and that we would have a good journey!"

In this context: Tell us somthing = drop us a hint! wink

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

The penguins are surrounded by seals. Los pingüinos están rodeadas por las focas.

Mantener la calma y pisa exactamente donde piso.

I wrote "Mantén la calma" for a familiar command, but when I checked the phrase on SD and reverso contexto all the results said "Mantener la calma." Could someone explain why "Mantén" isn't used here? - jellonz, Sep 21, 2017
