Help in Spanish...this is due tomorrow...(Resolved-Deadline Passed)

Postby RubyJewelStone » Sun Nov 26, 2006 6:36 pm

I'm supposed to make a Christmas Card for my Spanish class project. However, I'm not sure if I translated this correctly. And my only Spanish friend doesn't seem to want to sign on today... :shady:

Anywho, can someone tell me if this is correct?

¡Feliz Navidad!
Mientras nosotros desempaquetamos nuestros regalos…
Debemos recordamos la razón verdadera.
¡Tengo esperanzas de una muy Feliz Navidad!


It is supposed to say:
Merry Christmas!
While we unwrap our presents…
We must remember the true reason for the season.
I hope for a very Happy Christmas!


¡Por favor y gracias! :thumb:

Well, I'm only in Spanish 1 so I don't know much Spanish yet, but I checked around at some different online translation sites and it seems like most of them thought you were trying to say this:

"Merry Christmas! While we unpack our gifts… we should recall the true reason. I have hopes of a very merry Christmas!"

If it's accurate, it's pretty close to what you wanted to say.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Thanks, I'll go with it as is then. After all, being somewhere in the realm of correct works for me since our vocabulary is still small in this class. *is in Spanish 1 too*
