Último mensaje | | | | | 23 Mayo 2009 20:03 | | | Hi Pia, this would sound better in English with an inverted structure:
"Working with high voltage can be dangerous."
What do you think?  | | | 23 Mayo 2009 20:14 | |  piasCantidad de envíos: 8114 | Ok  | | | 23 Mayo 2009 20:52 | |  piasCantidad de envíos: 8114 | Btw, why is it wrong to translate it as I did
It can be dangerous to work with high voltage. | | | 23 Mayo 2009 20:56 | | | Did I say it was wrong?
I said it would sound better, a more natural way to say that in English.  | | | 23 Mayo 2009 21:10 | |  piasCantidad de envíos: 8114 | No, you didn't! But since you don't accepted it as it was, I thought so. I guess (?) a sentence like this can be said in different ways (word order), but still mean the same and be correct...I thought that maybe was the case here.  | | | 23 Mayo 2009 21:50 | | | And it IS the case here.
Besides your sentence and mine, we could make some other sentences with different wording and still meaning the same thing.
What about:
"High voltage can be dangerous to work with"
And...I didn't say I wouldn't accept your version. If so, I would have posted:
It can be dangerous to work with high voltage. ---> Working with high voltage can be dangerous.  | | | 23 Mayo 2009 21:58 | |  piasCantidad de envíos: 8114 | Wow ..I'm getting on your nerves Lilian!!
I understand your way of work, and it's true, you did asked me if I agreed. | | | 23 Mayo 2009 23:03 | | | |
