Now that I'm in a Halloween Mode, How do you translate Trick or Treat?

Truco o Treta? any better suggestion?

Travesura o golosina?

Me parece mejor! jejeje!! Igual veremos que opina la gente.

What about "trato o truco"?

Hebe · 10-29-2007, 07:42 AM

Yo lo traducir�a como regalo (treat) o castigo. Trambien podr�a ser "golosina o castigo", . Entiendo que la persona que no le regale a los ni�os una golosina recibir�n un castigo (travesura)

Saludos

I'm going with Hebe's "regalo o castigo". It rolls off the tongue so nicely!

In most of the movies I have seen, the phrase is translated as "dulce o truco", but sincerely, it doesn't have sense for me. May be "dulce o travesura" is better.

I like "dulce o travesura".

Thank you all!

Doy un voto por "trato o truco". En este tipo de traducci�n de frases, es muy importante mantener un cierto paralelismo con la rima del original. Si bien no siempre puede ser id�ntico - obviamente - mantener alg�n tipo de rima es importante.
