Spanish term or phrase: help with a phrase
Hola a todos.
Es un texto para un "send to a friend" de un sitio web. La versión en español es:
TITULO: ¿Aceptas el reto?

TEXTO: ¿Crees que puedes vencerme?
Yo no lo creo, pero te reto a que lo intentes.

Y me lo dieron traducido así:

TITULO: Do you accept the challenge?

TEXTO: Do you have what it takes to beat me?
I don't think so, but, if you want to try, go ahead.

pero lo tradujo alguien en México y siento que no tiene el mismo tono que la versión en español, y hasta me parece una traducción un poco "inocente".

Gracias desde ya
