Ayer fue...avergonzoso. Fue como si hubiera estado en Chile otra vez. No entendia casi nada durante mi tiempo en el hospital, y todo el mundo tenia que decir, "Por favor, habla mas despacito para la pobrecita americana." Bleh. Pero luego fuimos a un bar y uno de mis companeros saco su guitarra de su casa y empezo a cantar y tocarla. Me diverti aunque apenas hablaba, pero todavia espero que tuviera menos verguenza. Aprenderia mas.
Yesterday was...embarrassing. It was as if I'd been in Chile again. I didn't understand practically anything during my time in the hospital, and everyone had to say, "Please speak more slowly for the poor American girl." Bleh. But later we went to a bar and one of my volunteer-mates got his guitar from his house and started to sing and play it. I had fun even though I barely talked, but I still wish I weren't so shy. I'd learn more.
Cerca del final de la noche, el mismo companero, Dani, empezo a bromear. Conto una broma de burros. "Que son tres burros, uno encima de otro?" "Triburron."
Toward the end of the evening, the same kid, Danny, started telling jokes. He told one about donkeys. "What are three donkeys, one on top of the other?" "Jaws." (It doesn't really translate. It's a pun based on the movie, which in Spanish is called "Tiburon".)
Creo que la proxima vez voy a traducir unas bromas inglesas y contarselas a ellos. Despues os dire si eran bien recibidas o no.
I think the next time I'm going to translate English jokes and tell them to 'em. Afterwards I'll tell you guys whether they were well-received or not.
