| nava91Number of messages: 1268 | "to look for a better job", in the original text was explained that "cercare meglio lavoro" is to be intended like "cercare in modo più approfondito un lavoro", not "cercare un lavoro migliore"
I think this should be "over there for looking better a job" |

| appleNumber of messages: 972 | It should be "to look better for a job", but it doesn't sound good to me.
Anyway, the requester told us he meant "a better search" and not "a better job". |

| stellNumber of messages: 141 | Wouldn't the second sentence (Spero...) be something like: "I hope I'll be able to see you again during my second trip in septembre".
Because I think that in the source text in italian the person writing isn't sure (or maybe I didn't understand at all) whereas in the translation it is said that it's sure (Hopfully I'll see you again...)

| appleNumber of messages: 972 | I don't think there is a great difference, stell.
He is sure he will go in September, and he hopes to see those people.
I think hopefully here means "if everything goes right" = I hope. |

| SahNumber of messages: 47 | i changed it as you wanted though I still don't see much differce sorry to say that |

| MaskiNumber of messages: 326 | Might i ask... why is it "i still thank you" and not "i thank you again"? |
| | 4 May 2007 22:30 |
| | can it be "also thank you for..."? because it's not the first "thank" sentence of the whole text, what we were transalting was an exerpt.

| nava91Number of messages: 1268 | Yes, Maski you are right!
In this case, "ancora" is "again", "another time" |
| | 5 May 2007 08:28 |
| | I've edited according to Maski's notification, but after I just saw pluiepoco's note, then I think he may be right about "also thank you for..", which would avoid to repeat "again"...
What do you think? |

| nava91Number of messages: 1268 | I don't know... English isn't my best language... If it's the same meaning of again, it's ok... |
| | 5 May 2007 08:38 |
| | It is slightly the same meaning, if you said (I'll use French for you to understand better)
"encore merci pour...", or "je te remercie aussi pour...", it means that you already told "thank you" before about another thing...
See what I mean? |
| | 5 May 2007 08:43 |
| nava91Number of messages: 1268 | I think "encore merci" is perfect... |
| | 5 May 2007 10:17 |
| MaskiNumber of messages: 326 | Well if you really want to avoid repetition perhaps "i thank you once more for your"... would be ok? Although I really don't think it's a problem as it is. |

| appleNumber of messages: 972 | Something happened here that I don't understand. After the two first messages, nava's and mine, yesterday I saw that the sentence about the job had been edited (by kafetzou, if I remember well); "...a better search for a job". Who changed it?
Neither I understand whom Sah he's talking to, when she says she has changed something.
I thank you once more is OK.
(Sorry for not noticing "still" before, I problably read it as "I'm still grateful", but this can't be the right meaning) |
