Hey guys, my spanish is ****e as we dont have a lot of use for it down here. Can someone please translate the following for me The Bomb The Black Bomb I dont care what you think Thanks amigos Pete
not exactly hot rod, and this is probably incorrect grammar, but... La Bomba La Bomba Negra Yo me puse el cuidado lo que usted piensa http://www.freetranslation.com/
be careful -- literal vs idiomatic translations can get funny. Chevy did some surveys in Mexico back in the early '70's -- found a huge market for the Nova. Sent a bunch down there and they sat on the dealers floors. Couldn't get anyone interested at all Then someone explained that in Spanish the negative comes first, and the word for "go" was "va"-- so they were trying to sell a car that was called the "Won't Go"! so just translating "the bomb" into "la bomba" may mean something that fall out of an airplane. Let me see if I can chase up a native speaker from a different board.
