Vertimas - Švedų-Anglų - söker engelsk översättning till detta

Hi Lilly

The English is great

I've set a poll, because my Svenska is not up to scratch.

Jag tkr det är många fel i denna texten. Jag skulle vilja översätta allt till " I had been riding several times and often, until one day when I had an accident. The horse threw me of and I was in pain for several weeks after. Despite it was so long time a ago, I haven't dared to sit up on a horse again. I don't even know if I would dare to do it again."
(Ursäkta om jag är petig, men säger bara vad jag tycker)

Jag anser att meningen "Hästen kastade av mig" Bör översättas till "The horse threw me off"

jeg er enig med emka86

Hi Girls

I set a poll because I don't speak Swedish. So you need to post in English so as I can understand your misgivings about the translation, otherwise I will not be able to take your negative votes into consideration.

I just said that I agree with emka86 who suggests to write "The horse threw me off" in stead of "down" - what do you say?

ah, and would you really say "daren´t" ? Not that I think it´s grammatically wrong or anything, I just find it a bit difficult to pronounce in a sentence :-)

A few observations:
-original misspellt also "inte häller">"inte heller"
-also "the following weeks", "daren't" and "dare do" caught my suspicious eye as above in Jarla's message and I agree with her. I would suggest still one possibility "haven't had the courage to..." to avoid the use of dare two times.

However, cannot say the translation is wrong.

Hi Girls

Thanks for everyone replying in English

Since this is a "meaning only" request I find there is not sufficient difference between being thrown down (from) or being thrown off (of) a horse. I even feel that the idea of being thrown down from a horse reinforces the idea of hitting the ground and gettin hurt.

As for "daren't" it is perfectly acceptable in English. The fact that the word might or might not be difficult to pronounce by non-native speakers, is not a sufficient reason for using another term.

Thanks for eveyone's kind help
