YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural.

IF
Indicative/Subjunctive after "si"
Si can be followed by both the {indicative} and the {subjunctive}. The {indicative} describes facts and likely situations; the {subjunctive} describes remote or hypothetical situations.
Indicative ► Use si + ((present indicative)) to translate if + ((present)) in English:
If you go on overeating, you'll get fat Si sigues comiendo tanto, vas a engordar
Don't do it if you don't want to No lo hagas si no quieres NOTE: Don't use si with the ((present subjunctive)).
Subjunctive ► Use si + ((imperfect subjunctive)) to translate if + ((past)) for remote or uncertain possibilities and hypotheses:
If we won the lottery, we would never have to work again Si nos tocase or tocara la lotería, no tendríamos que trabajar nunca más
What would you do if I weren't here? ¿Qué harías si yo no estuviese or estuviera aquí? ► Use si + ((pluperfect subjunctive)) (= hubiera or hubiese + ((past participle))) to translate if + had + ((past participle)):
If Paula hadn't lost her ticket, she would have left today Si Paula no hubiera or hubiese perdido el billete, habría salido hoy Alternatively, instead of a clause with si, you can often use de ( no) haber + ((past participle)):
If Paula hadn't lost her ticket, she would have left today De no haber perdido Paula el billete, habría salido hoy For further uses and examples, see main entry

17 then

THEN
Частица then употребляется обычно при противительном союзе but и иногда с соединительным союзом and. Возможно также слияние в один смысловой блок частицы then и again, в результате чего получаются сочетания but then again и and then again. В общем виде функцию частицы then можно определить как введение актуального аргумента с оттенком полемизирования с предыдущим высказыванием. Стоит отметить, однако, что, когда then сочетается только с but (что происходит в большинстве случаев) ее употребление имеет интересную особенность, а именно, полемизирование может идти не только с предшествующим высказыванием, но и с прагматическим выводом, следующим из него. Рассмотрим следующие примеры:

• The only person who told him that he was committing a sin and a folly was Jordan, but then he was a pacifist. (NM: 57)

Единственным человеком, который сказал ему, что он совершает грех и глупость, был Джордан, но ведь он был пацифистом.

• "No, I never heard of it, but then I've only been here a couple of weeks..." (DL: 255)

"Нет, я никогда не слышала об этом, правда я (ведь) работаю здесь всего пару недель..."

Как видно, во втором примере говорящий полемизирует не столько с самим первым высказыванием, сколько с тем прагматическим выводом, который может извлечь из него собеседник. В анализируемом случае этот вывод может быть таким, что искомая организация вообще не существует, раз героиня не знает о ней. Именно поэтому героиня вводит дополнительный актуальный аргумент, сигнализирующий о том, что ее знания нельзя считать полными. Что касается перевода then, то из примеров видно, что на роль ее эквивалента хорошо подходит русская частица ведь, но это не единственный возможный способ перевода, в некоторых контекстах указанное прагматическое значение может быть лучше передано другими средствами.
Сочетания but then again и and then again обычно вводят актуальный аргумент с оттенком противопоставления, то есть второе положение противопоставляется первому, и then (again) указывает на важность учета второго положения. Наиболее удачный русский эквивалент при этом выбирается в соответствии с контекстом, часто он не отличается от упомянутого выше ведь:

• It was possible, she admitted, that she might like him enough to marry him... but then again, 'I might like him as a friend, and as a cousin, and as a brother, but not more... ' (EL: 155)

Она, конечно, может полюбить его достаточно сильно, чтобы выйти за него замуж... ; но ведь "Может случиться и так, что я полюблю его как друга, и как кузена, и как брата, но не больше..."

• You may not mean it, and then again you may. (Pr: 129)

Возможно, вы делаете это ненарочно, хотя / но ведь, может, и нарочно.

DECIR ¿"Say" o "tell"? Decir se puede traducir por say o por tell. Por regla general, say simplemente {dice} y tell {informa} u {ordena hacer algo}. ► Decir generalmente se traduce por say en estilo directo. Normalmente no lleva un complemento de persona pero si se menciona a quién se está dirigiendo el hablante, el complemento de persona tiene que ir precedido por la preposición to: "Ya son las tres", dije "It's already three o'clock," I said "¡Qué tiempo más malo!" Eso fue lo único que me dijo "What awful weather!" That's all he said to me ► En estilo indirecto, decir se puede traducir por say cuando simplemente se cuenta lo que alguien ha dicho. Si say lleva complemento de persona, este se coloca después del complemento directo: Dijo que se tenía que marchar He said he had to leave Me dijo algo que no entendí He said something to me that I didn't understand ► Decir se traduce por tell cuando se {informa} o se {ordena hacer algo}. Suele llevar un objeto de persona sin la preposición to: Me dijo que tenía una entrevista de trabajo He told me he had a job interview ¡Te he dicho que no lo toques! I told you not to touch it! ► Hay algunos usos idiomáticos en los que decir se traduce por tell aunque no lleva complemento de persona. Por ejemplo: to tell the truth (decir la verdad) y to tell a lie (decir una mentira). Otros verbos ► Si decir va acompañado de un calificativo en español, a menudo se puede traducir al inglés por otros verbos que no sean say o tell: "Lo he perdido todo", dijo entre sollozos "I've lost everything," she sobbed Dijo con voz ronca algo sobre necesitar un médico He croaked something about needing a doctor Para otros usos y ejemplos ver la entrada Para otras expresiones con el participio, ver dicho.

Ex. In conclusion, it should not be necessary to say that instructions and guiding must be as brief as possible.

Ex. Short abstracts are generally preferred, but there are instances where the most effective approach is to cite the original unamended, and to state that this is what has been done.

Ex. Program function key 1 (FP1) tells DOBIS/LIBIS to stop whatever it is doing and go back to the function selection screen.

Ex. 'Well,' Stanton tendered, 'one candidate clearly has the superior experience -- Kass'.

Ex. He was aghast after having been hipped to the fact there are hookers on the Internet.

Ex. As long as we allow other people to pay the piper, they will continue calling the tune in Africa.
