Spanish to English: extract from intro to project for biodiesel plant
Source text - Spanish Por este motivo, unido a la amenaza de un aumento de los precios del crudo para la economía internacional, el cual se ha producido desde hace solo 16 meses, así como el agotamiento no muy lejano de las reservas de crudo, hace que el modelo económico actual está en peligro. Del mismo modo, la necesidad de reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, para evitar que se siga produciendo el calentamiento global de la atmósfera, hace que las decisiones en esta materia se han de tomar sin mas demoras.
Translation - English For this reason, the threat to the international economy of a rise in the price of crude oil which has become manifest over the last 16 months, as well as the using up of the crude oil reserves in the near future, endanger the current economic system. Equally important are the need to reduce the emissions of gases, which worsen the greenhouse effect, and the need to contribute to the control of global warming in the atmosphere, making decisions on the matter very urgent.
Spanish to English: extract from story in newspaper
Source text - Spanish -¿Oid niños! Soy el Príncipe Manolo y vengo desde un pais muy lejano para ofreceros mi humilde carromato tirado por veinte caballos y con intermitentes de diamantes.
- ¡Venid chicos! ¡Venid a verlo!
Salimos a la calle y nos encontramos con un pequeño autobus, el cual parecía más una caravana del oeste que un autobus de transporte.
Era pequeño, redondo, ortero, rechoncho, enrollante, feo y detestante. Parecía que estaba hecho con latas de sardinas.
Translation - English “Hark, children! I am Prince Manolo and I have come from a far-distant country to offer you my humble carriage pulled by twenty powerful horses and with diamond indicators. Come, children, come and see it!”
We went out into the street and found ourselves before a small bus which looked more like a station wagon than a modern means of transport.
It was ordinary, small, round, chubby and old, disgustingly ugly but strangely captivating. It seemed to be made of sardine tins.
