Vea abajo Explanation: Buenos días, Adriana Entender es una cosa, traducir es otra. La idea es que gracias a esa organización de fama internacional, puedes sacar alguna ventaja. Ir adelante, ganar, vencer. !Qué vida la de un traductor! Espero que colegas podrán ayudar mejor. Saludos desde la pampa brasileña Bruno Magne |

See below, Explanation: I think the motto's idea is that the universe, however eternal and infinite, is still the place you live in, your clam, your shell, your oyster. So, with all due respect to certain ladies who are rather thin skinned, I'd suggest a different translation, such as: El universo es tu morada. |

La internacionalmente famosa organización hace del universo, tu refugio. Explanation: may be a wider context would help, but I think this is the idea. |

la afamada organización internacional hace del (de tu) universo un filón por explotar Explanation: Como Bruno dice arriba, yo entiendo que se trata de extraer algo valioso (la perla) de el lugar en el que se contiene (el universo). En español esta expresión es la más similar que se me ocurre. Si esto no te convence y no encuentras algo mejor, te recomiendo que no busques expresiones hechas, ya que siempre es mejor desarrollar la idea que recurrir a una expresión que te rompe el ritmo de lectura por extraña. Suerte. |

hace que puedas hacer lo lo quieras Explanation: I read through the the explanations given (and the best was the first) but everyone is losing sight of the fact that you just want this expression translated! Of course "el mundo es tu ostra" doesn't make sense so we have to give the feeling of the phrase. The world is your oyster simply means that you are in complete control - can do anything you desire. Sure hope this helps some! Suerte! |
