    Default Ayuda

    Hola!

    Necesito ayuda con la traducción de esta frase:

    "He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. "

    Muchas gracias

    El es un espectador capaz de expresar sus visiones en los medios más complejos, aunque de cierta forma mejor predispuestos.
    o
    Se trata de un espectador capaz de expresar sus visiones en los medios más complejos, aunque de cierta forma mejor predispuestos. (si se ajusta al contexto)

    >>... aunque de cierta forma...<<

    That sounds really good.

    >>Se trata de un espectador...<<

    This sounds great too --depending on the previous sentence in the text.

    >>...sus visiones...<<

    In singular su visión refers to his point of view. In plural sus visiones suggests imaginary ideas.

    >>...mejor predispuestos.<<

    This doesn't sound right in Spanish.
    Mejor is a positive comparative adjective (needs something else to make a comparison). Predispuestos has a negative connotation. The two can't go together. In any case, más/menos predispuestos would sound better.

    I have the feeling you want to say dispuestos=willing. But again, más dispuestos sounds better.

    I hate to use the phrase sounds better over and over because there is technical explanation for why one term is better than the other, but it's quite long for here.
