Translation of "turn" in this sentence
|
|
I �m preparing a reading comp for 10-year-olds about one of Aesop fables, The Fox and the Stork, and I can �t seem to find a correct word , in Spanish, to translate the final line : " One bad turn deserves another ". It �s easy to understand but I don �t know what word I �d use if they asked me what it means ...
Thank you for your answer ! and for taking the time to type it ... ;-) |

It would be better if you could find an equivalent saying in your language with the similar meaning. It wouldn �t be necessary to translate it word for word. Just a thought... Sophia |

How about: "Una mala accion va seguida de otra..."
Hope it helps!

It might be
"A toda acci�n corresponde una reacci�n"
and you can lead it to bad actions and bad consequences.

The saying in Spanish would be something like "hoy por vos, ma�ana por m�"
