Question You are none the wiser
http://rock.rapgenius.com/Abandoned-...h-lyrics#lyric

¿Cómo traducirían "you are none the wiser" en español?

¿"No eres mucho más sabio/listo"?

"nada más listo"?

Cualquier idea será de agradecer...

Un saludo a todos.

Ah, gracias a todos.

Me gusta la de Rusty "te quedas igual"...

@Rusty: Muchas gracias... (Por lo menos no me quedo igual...)

@Robin, "no eres listo en absoluto" o "en absoluto eres listo"... sería como llamar "tonto" a alguien... pero "en absoluto eres más listo" a lo mejor funcionaba...

@Chileno, supongo que podría servir... pero en el contexto me quedo con lo que dice Rusty...

Desde luego, no importa el nivel... tras consultar a nuestros amigos de Tomísimo... siempre mejoras aunque sólo sea un poquito... nunca "te quedas igual"...

¡Gracias, amigos!

While "none the wiser" can mean “not comprehend", it generally is used to mean "not aware"
Mientras que "none the wiser" puede significar "no comprender", por lo general, se utiliza para significar "no consciente"

I copied Maria's homework and the teacher was none the wiser (He didn't know I did it)
He copiado la tarea de María y el profesor era no consciente (Él no sabía que yo hice)

The lyrics to the song you specified mean truck drivers are not aware of what their big trucks do to others in traffic.
La letra de la canción que ha especificado significar los conductores de camiones no son conscientes de lo que sus grandes camiones hacen a los demás en el tráfico.

¡Muchas gracias por las apreciaciones!

Una variante mejor:
mi español podría no ser correcto.
