English to Spanish: Children General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English For the past few years I’ve been working with children: in Taiwan, in Honduras, now in Buenos Aires. But why? I don’t know why. I don’t want to be a teacher. I was so afraid to talk with teachers when I was a kid. This time I do it because of the money. And last time, in Honduras, it was because I was a volunteer. My Spanish was so poor that the only way I could do it was with children, because with them it’s easier to communicate.
The first time, in Taiwan, I was doing my social service very far away from my hometown. It was in a small village, very close to the beach, and the parents didn’t live with their children, they went to the city to make money, so they left the kids in the village with the elders.
Translation - Spanish Durante los últimos años he estado trabajando con niños: en Taiwán, en Honduras, ahora en Buenos Aires. ¿Pero por qué? No sé por qué. No quiero ser maestro. De niño me daba mucho miedo hablar con los maestros. Esta vez lo hago por el dinero. La vez anterior, en Honduras, lo hice porque era voluntario. Mi español era tan pobre que la única forma de ser voluntario era trabajando con niños, porque con ellos es más fácil comunicarse.
La primera vez, en Taiwán, estaba realizando el servicio social muy lejos de mi ciudad natal. Era un pequeño pueblo, muy cerca de la playa, y los padres no vivían con sus hijos, se iban a la ciudad a ganar dinero, así que dejaban a los niños con la gente mayor.
