(I'll assume you're more comfortable with the portuguese language, sorry if I'm wrong)\n\nNão percebo bem o que procuras. Uma tradução de algum artigo escrito pelo tal Minkoff em 1998? É que não consigo encontrar o tal artigo de agosto de 1998 na net, nem mesmo em inglês, mas já vi que esse autor tem muita coisa sobre o tema que procuras, HIV durante a gravidez. Sabes mais alguma coisa sobre esse artigo? A revista em que foi publicado? Se está online (a versão inglesa)?

"Anoche te vi bailando en my cuarto/habitacón" "Cuarto" and "habitacóon" means room.\n\n"Mary no se puede comprar zapatos nuevos"\n\n"¿Cómo se dice?" = How do you say?\n\nIsn't goes "como te dices", may be you mean "¿Cómo te llamas?" =  What is your name? or How do you say?= "¿Cómo tu dices?"\n\nTranslations made only becayse you asked, hope I will help you.\n\nCan somebody explain me, Why I was 2 times thumbs down when my 1st language is Spanish? Perhaps I'm still leaving in the very same island were I'd born and down here we speak Spanish, that's our main language, even when we are part of the U.S.A.

I think the person who wrote this put it in Google and got a crappy MSN name out of it.\n\nI think they MEANT to say 'no mas Senora bueno chico'.\n\nIt literally means 'no more mister good people' which is NOT what was intended.

Détaler à travers les récifs et les gorges est la disposition adoptée par les adultes pour échapper à la pousuite aveugle de la barbarie, de la rage et de la perfidie modernes. Voici l'explication du brusque retour à la nature.\n\nI just used "barbarie, rage and perfidie" as the social evils that make "adultes" want to escape and go to "récifs and gorges" (nature). I hope it helps!

I'm not sure if the first question was even written correctly.  In fact, if I remember right, Montressor echoes Fortunato's screams to mock him as he is being enclosed in the cellar.  \n\nSecond, again if I remember correctly, Montressor had probably hidden the materials he would need to entomb Forutnato.  \n\nTo have such friends. . .\n\nShould've clarified about the friends part.  Doesn't really apply to story at all, however, they did end up at Montressor's after a drunken afternoon of gentlemanly debauchery as they were quite into their intoxication when Fortunato is enticed with a rare and precious cask of Amontillado. . . or so the story went.

They're listed in the third paragraph:\n\n"He had a weak point --this Fortunato --although in other regards he was a man to be respected and even feared. He prided himself on his connoisseurship in wine. Few Italians have the true virtuoso spirit. For the most part their enthusiasm is adopted to suit the time and opportunity, to practise imposture upon the British and Austrian millionaires. In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack, but in the matter of old wines he was sincere. In this respect I did not differ from him materially; --I was skilful in the Italian vintages myself, and bought largely whenever I could. "\n\nSince you're bound to ask, "gemmary" means the study or evaluation of jewelry.  Some of the other obsolete words in the story: a "pipe" in this context is a barrel about the size of a 55-gallon drum.  "Nitre" is a kind of crusty, salty deposit that forms on the walls of very dark, damp caves.  And "Nemo me impune lacessit" (the family motto of the Montresors -- that's the guy telling the story; Fortunato is the guy he's talking about) means "No one injures me without punishment."\n\nWhich is the point of the story...

I'll let you translate these into spanish (good practice!) but hopefully they'll help.\n1. He is strong but tired of carrying his son.\n2. Mostly he complains! and says that he can't see anything yet.\n3. His dad asked him if he can see/hear any sign of the village they are going to yet (barking of dogs, lights)\n4.  Tranquilino was Ignacio's father.  I don't see where it says exactly what happened with him, aside from his baptizing Ignacio and giving him his name.  All I see is "A él también le tocó la mala suerte de encontrarse con usted" (He, too, had the bad luck of knowing you)>\n5. The mother died giving birth to a son.\n6. Ignacio cries to remember his poor mother (whom he made miserable!).\n\nHope this helps.  Thanks for the link - it was a good read.

This is an actual human translation, so it will probably be more accurate than those from online translators.\n\n\nYo escogí escribir sobre Puerto Rico porque lo me facina y quiero aprender más sobre esto país.  Escibiré sobre la gente y la religion de Puerto Rico.  Puerto Rico es un de las islas del mundo con la población mas larga, con más o menos 3.95 millones personas.  En esta isla, casi 33 por ciento de la gente viven cerca de las ciudades de San Juan, Carolina, y Bayamon.  La gente de esta isla representan una mezcla cultural y racial, y cuando los Estados Unidos lo obtenieron la isla en 1898, la influencia estadounidence adaptaba como parte de la cultura.\n\nPuertorriqueños están conocido para su hospitalidad y amabilidad a extranjeros.  Ellos están conocido la major para sus manos animados cuando están hablando.  Saludan a sus amigos y familia con un beso en la mejilla o con una combinación de un beso y un abrazo.  Puertorriqueños piensan que están americanos, pero ya están orgullosos de su isla y su cultura.  Usualmente se llaman “puertorriqueños” y no “americanos” y la familia tiene mucha importancia para ellos.\n\nEn Puerto Rico, 85 por ciento de la gente son católicos, y 8 por ciento son protestantes.  La mayoría de la gente son hispanicos.  Hay iglesias de muchos religiones en la isla.  La constitución promete libertad por todas las religiones.  La influencia de los colonos españoles ya es evidente en la predominio de la iglesia católica.  Menos de un siglo pasado, más de 90 por ciento de la población eran católicos.  En tiempos más recienta, causado por la inmigración de personas de las Estados Unidos, hay más personas que son protestantes.  Ahora casi 33 por ciento de la población son protestantes.

All the above answers seem to have been done by a machine translation. Taking into account the idiom, I'd say it's something like "Asi es la mala suerte para nosotros, los falsos disenadores."
