Salve, sto aiutando un ragazzo a tradurre la tesi, e c'è una preposizione che secondo me va tradotta trasformandola nella forma impersonale con ''you''. Metto la frase intera con la preposizione fra virgolette, e a seguire la frase tradotta per intero con la mia proposta di traduzione fra virgolette.


Non si può essere preoccupati, l'impulsività è simile all'ansia e t’inganna ''sul'' traguardo.

You shouldn't be worried, impulsivity is similar to anxiety and can be deceptive ''when you are about'' to achieve your goals.
Proposed translations (English)
4 as to the goal

Thanks Simon a lot.
Simon Charass Dec 4, 2013:
I agree with Rosario on this one. “sul traguardo” here means on the finish line, beaten at the pole, like in a horse race.

I don't agree that in this context ''Sul traguardo'' means ''when you are about to achieve something..''
