si el verbo es expeRt.....
La traducción de Terry es totalmente válida, si la frase está seguida de "to be..." as in:
"he expected martial arts and karate to be fascinating"
La traducción sería: "esperaba que las artes..... fueran...."
BUT if the word is experRT:
(from the Merriam-Webster:)
Main Entry: 3ex·pert
Pronunciation: 'ek-"sp&rt
Function: intransitive verb
Date: circa 1889
: to serve as an expert
"prestó/prestaba sus servicios como experto artes marciales y karate"
Of course this is a wild guess.... I may be awfully wrong....
Es que no me cierra la frase que diste, necesitaríamos más contexto para confirmar la versión de Terry ;^)
Could you provide the whole sentence?
HTH!
