Source text - Spanish DIRECTOR
No cojones, NO. ¡Por el amor de Dios! ¡No! ¿Cómo tengo que decirlo para que me creas de una puta vez y me dejes en paz? De aquí lo único que te llevarás es quedar anotado en un libro y una bolsita plástica. No me sacarás nada más. Nunca. Te lo juro. Te lo pongo por escrito. Si quieres llamo a un notario para que dé fe. Lo hago traducir a varios idiomas. Pido a Dios Señor Nuestro que baje con una cohorte de arcángeles para que den testimonio. Si quieres me tatuo la palabra NO en cada nalga para que veas claramente las dos opciones: NO y NO. A mí me parece una negativa contundente, comprensible. ¿Lo quieres en verso? “Lo que digo no tiene ningún mérito, pero nunca te daré este crédito” ¿Qué más quieres? ¿Un pacto de sangre? ¿Llevas navaja? O no, ya sé. Exhumaré el cuerpo de mi difunta madre y lo traeré aquí en taxi para jurarlo sobre su cadáver. ¿Será suficiente? No tengo
más recursos para que lo aceptes. Te lo juro. He entendido tus amenazas. Sé lo que vas a hacer con mi pobre esposa y aún así no te daré nada. Aunque me torture,ni bajo el efecto de las drogas más duras, nunca, jamás te concederé este crédito.

Fuck no! What can I say so you fucking believe me and leave me in peace. All you’ll get from the bank is your name in the logbook and a pen. Nothing else. Never. I’ll put it in writing. If you want, I’ll get it notarized and have it translated in many languages. I’ll ask God to send angels to testify. I’ll get NO tattooed on each buttcheek so you see the 2 options: NO and NO. Flat-out NO, get it? You want it in song? “I already made it known, I’ll never give you a loan.” You want a blood oath? Do you have a blade? I’ll swear on my dead mother’s body. Is that be enough? I’ve nothing else to offer. I understand your threats. I know what you’ll do to my wife, I still won’t give you anything. You can torture or drug me, but I’ll never grant you this loan.

Bio
Hello! My name is William, a United States citizen currently living in Madrid. Interested in long-term freelance collaboration opportunities.
I worked as an Educational, Legal, Civil, Financial and General Translator and a Proofreader of Translations (Spanish and Portuguese into English) at a company in New York for two years. I currently work as a freelancer for the same company which I have been doing for four years. As a student, I partook in several translation and editing projects, such as:
- An editor for the translation of a book into English titled "Burp: Gastronomical Writings"
- One of the translators for the subtitles of two plays performed in New York: "El Crédito" and "The Trickster"
- Translated the current student guidebook for the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in its entirety
I also have some experience in translating medical texts.
Knowledge in: Microsoft Office, Trados and MemoQ.
Prices are negotiable.
Thank you for your consideration.
