From hungry to full to stuffed
A diet book recommends thinking of food as fuel, and visualizing the stomach in terms of an automobile's gas gauge. The author draws a diagram similar to that found on a typical dashboard, with little marks that point to the various levels of the fuel tank. Those levels are what I'd like to know how to say:
Empty: Hungry (Hambriento?) 1/2 tank: Edge is off (Sin punzadas de hambre?) 3/4 tank: Satisfied (Satisfecho?) Full tank: Full (Lleno?) then he goes on to represent the concept of overeating, by a continuation of the same diagram going beyond the Full mark: Stuffed (Relleno?) Overstuffed (Rebosante?) Exploding (Para reventar?) |
Hmm... your proposals are fine. I find it too hard to actually translate those things into Spanish, since that's strange for my local culture, but something more natural for me might be something like this:
Empty: Hungry -> Con hambre 1/2 tank: Edge is off -> Sin hambre 3/4 tank: Satisfied -> Satisfecho Full tank: Full -> Lleno Stuffed -> Muy lleno Overstuffed -> Demasiado lleno Exploding -> A reventar :thinking: |
