Peligros

Non-PRO Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hola,

Les escribo para solicitar su ayuda con respecto a la traducción de la palabra "peligros"

Se las adjunto aquí: "Si se salía al anochecer, los peligros eran mayores porque los sapos, ranas y las ranitas se cruzaban de un lado al otro en el camino".

Información y contexto: Este párrafo pertenece a un cuento infantil. Además, es la descripción que la una madre a sus hijos de los peligros que hay en las calles cuando llueve ya que las ranas cruzan de un lado a otro. Es el momento justo donde se reproducen con mayor facilidad.

Posible traducción: "If you went out at dusk, dangers were greater because toads, frogs, and little frogs..."

Muchas gracias.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): philgoddard, Jane Martin, Carol Gullidge

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
