English to Spanish: Fragment from "The boy who sneaks in my bedroom window" by Kirsty Moseley General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English My dad was very particular about everything, if everything wasn’t exactly right, he got angry and no one ever wanted that. My mom always said that my dad had a stressful job. He always got easily annoyed if we did anything wrong. If you had heard of that saying ‘Children should be seen and not heard’, well, my dad took that to another extreme. Instead, he liked ‘Children shouldn’t be seen or heard’. At five thirty everyday he would come home, we would eat dinner straight away, and then Jake and I would be sent to our bedrooms, where we played quietly until seven thirty when we would have to go to bed.
Translation - Spanish Mi padre era bastante particular acerca de todo, si todo no estaba exactamente como debía estar, él se enfurecía y nadie quería eso. Mi mamá siempre dijo que mi papá tenía un trabajo estresante. Él siempre se molestaba fácilmente si hacíamos algo mal. Si escucharon ese dicho: "Los niños deben ser vistos pero no se deben oír", bueno mi papá llevó eso al otro extremo. En su lugar: "Los niños no deben ser vistos ni oídos" A las cinco y media de cada día el llegaba a casa, cenábamos inmediatamente, entonces Jake y yo éramos enviados a nuestras habitaciones, donde jugabamos en silencio hasta las siete y media cuando ya debíamos ir a la cama.

Bio
My main language is Spanish, and I also speak and write English, Italian as well. Since I was young, enjoyed learning languages, so I started going to English Institutes when I was 11. It's very useful also if you travel around the world, as matter of fact, a few years ago, I went to Italy and Greece, and I've used them both, English and Italian, to express myself. I read all kind of books without translations, and I'm also quite used to watch films, commercials and hearing without subtitles. I look forward to work for whoever needs it, it will be satisfactory to fulfill your requests.
