el hipopótamo: No te preocupes tronco, te estiro el cuello a ti. Quedarte en casa todo el tiempo no es bueno para tu salud.

The hippo : Don't worry mate, I'll stretch your neck for you. Staying at home all the time isn't good for your heath.

With corrections:

el hipopótamo: No te preocupes tronco, te estiraré el cuello a ti. Quedarte en casa todo el tiempo no es bueno para tu salud.

Topical Billy - My daughters just burst into my office, but I had to turn around very slowly to look at them. I could use a chiropractor. - jellonz, Oct 11, 2017

Se dice que en una conexión de una pareja la cosa más importante es la química y me parece que aquí podemos hallarlo.

It is said that in a connection of a couple the most important thing is the chemistry and I think that we can find it here.

Una de estas cosas no es como las otras,
Una de estas cosas simplemente no pertenece ...

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong ...

Amigos. Te recordaré, pensaré en ti, rezaré por ti,

Y cuando algún día termine,

Seremos amigos todavía.

canción de John Denver.

Friends, I will remember you, think of you, pray for you.

And when another day is through,

I'll still be friends with you.

John Denver song

Friends With You--John Denver

Con correcciones:

El hipopótamo: "¡Somos los mejores amigos...y hoy en día nos gusta hacer todo juntos!" La tortuga responde con añoranza*: "Bueno, casi todo mi amigo...¡pero prefiero ducharme solo ...porque la última vez que nos bañamos juntos, recuerdo que decidiste dar un gran salto en la bañera y casi (o por poco) me ahogas!"

o nostalgia*

Hi Feliz smile "los mejores amigos" no "de"..."todo"..."bañera". Nice caption! - Coffeelate 41 mins ago

¡Muchas gracias por tus correcciones, Caffecita smile

The hippo: " We are the best of friends and now (nowadays) we like to do everything together!" The turtle responds wistfully: "Well, almost everything my friend ...but I prefer to shower alone because the last time we had a bath together I remember you decided to make a big jump into the bath and nearly drowned me!"

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

Hipopótamo: Han dicho que mi amigo es de sangre fría, pero lo encuentro muy cálido y amable.

Hippopotamus: They have said that my friend is cold-blooded, but I find him to be very warm and kind.

¿Son estos pies malolientes o mal aliento?

¿Ese mal olor son tus pies o tu aliento?

Are these smelly feet or bad breath ?

A deceptively simple English sentence that is rather tricky to translate. I don't think a literal translation is possible. A short option: "¿Ese mal olor son tus pies o tu aliento? - Gekkosan, Oct 11, 2017
Thanks Gekko , yes it does look better , I tried a squillion ways to do this , but missed the right one , - ray76, Oct 12, 2017

The turtle: "When you swore the hippocratic oath to be a doctor, many years ago, did you have any idea (reaiize) what kind of patients you would end up treating?"

Con correcciones:

La tortuga: "Cuándo hiciste el juramento hipocrático para ser un médico, hace muchos años, ¿tenías la menor idea de qué tipos de pacientes ibas a tratar, finalmente?"

"Cuando hiciste el juramento"... "de qué (accent)" =) Hehe! - Coffeelate 35 mins ago

¡Muchas gracias, Heidita! smile
