disagree  Beatriz Galiano (X): Es un error de interpretación,esta es una típica estructura anglosajona y esto es spanglish, hay que hacerlo esbelto por medio de la educación, no educar a los esbeltos.

disagree  Henry Hinds: Ay, Tadzio, no es malo...
9 mins
  -> Y yo te sugiero que cambies tu frase por "para educar a un comprador a fin de que se conserve sano y esbelto"...
agree  Beatriz Galiano (X): Lo que quise decir es que está bien igual, el comentario a Henry era disagree, mi internet es lenta a veces y me hace escribir mal. Puedes borrar esta o responder otra.
1 day 9 hrs
  -> ¡Claro, pues...! ;))))) Realmente debí haber escrito "educarlo para conservar la línea", como decimos en México. "La línea", en nuestro muy coloquial español, significa "mantenerse delgado y sano". ¡Ahora entiendo!
neutral  Bubo Coroman (X): la madre ¿por qué le educaría a su hijo para ser un mal comprador?
1 day 10 hrs
  -> Dije "educar a un mal comprador", lo cual significa que todos los malos compradores debemos ser educados (para ser buenos compradores). La traducción correcta sería: "para educar a un comprador a fin de que se conserve sano y esbelto"...
