Como el actor que va saltando x el escenario tratando de robarnos / hurtarnos la iluminación de... Explanation: ... los reflectores [que nos sigue a nosotros], ... nos quedamos intentando controlar lo incontrolable en nuestro [laborioso] emprendimiento para capturar la calidez de los sentimientos positivos y la sensación de seguridad que no podemos auto-generar. Kind of a mouthful, but I think this is what they mean :-) Suerte Elena |

Como un jinete de circo que salta por aros / argollas para llamar la atencion de la audiencia, ... Explanation: Will need some help on my circus vocabulary, but I think that is the sense of it. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 18:16:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, \"follow us\" is incorrect; should be follow him/her. The author has jumped the subject of the main phrase back into the comparative clause, perhaps in an attempt to avoid the awkwardness of him/her. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-10-21 18:18:17 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And instead of literally translating the following of the spotlight, I have translated the concept of why the performer is wanting to be in the spotlight. |

If it's "that", then Elena has a point ;^) Regards Naty :^) PS: pardon my Spanglish! :^D Reference: http://www.google.com/search?hl=es&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=... |
