I'm reading a (Spanish) book that has some highlighted phrases that I've been trying to translate. Could sb have a look at them??

2. Para que las cosas cambien, es necesaria una mayor preocupación por el impacto de nuestras acciones sobre la Humanidad y la Naturaleza de la que formamos parte.

To make things change/ a greater concern is needed
In order for a change to take place/ we need to display a greater concern/ for the impact that our actions have on the Humanity and the Nature that we are part of.

3. Si milliones de personas en todo el mundo no queremos las guerras, ¿cómo es posible que las guerras continúen de forma inexorable, y seamos impotentes para detenerlas?

If millions of people all over the world don't want wars, how is it that wars continue to take place inexorably and we are powerless to halt them?

PD. El libro se llama Dinero y conciencia ¿A Quién sirve mi dinero? de Joan Antoni Melé Recien publicado en España

No soy una hablante natural pero, me parece buena esa traducción:)

Are you translating for money? :wicked:

Interesting comments. Thanks for having a look.
I do do a little translation, but it's so badly paid... If I only did translating I wouldn't have to think about Dinero y conciencia cos the money would just about go round feeding the family and little else!
Also I do short texts and not books, so this translating is for "pleasure", not money

Difícil. Hace falta más contexto para estar seguro, pues "de quién" podría referirse a quien paga el precio (en el sentido de ser quien sufre una bajada en sus bienes) o quien es el precio (en el sentido de vivir y morir en esclavitud, sea de verdad o esclavitud económica que le exige trabajar en condiciones horrorosas para ganar algunos céntimos).

Discrepo un poco contigo y con chileno.

In order for things to change there needs to be a greater concern for the impact of our actions on humanity and on the nature we are part of.

En particular, me parece mejor poner "humanity" sin artículo y "nature" con.

I gathered that much. I made the question because in another of your replies you said it was best to translate to Spanish. :whistling:

Many thanks for your comments!

I know that you were refering to another post I made! :duh:
However I didn't :thinking: say that it was best to translate to Spanish!!

My only doubt is that my preference is universally true among native English speakers. In my dialect humanity must go without article and nature with because the former is unqualified and the latter is not.

Sorry, I'm not following you here...
