Spanish term

Yo, en cambio,

Non-PRO Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature cuento
Ahora tengo trece años y medio, y aprendí muchas cosas, entre otras, que los tipos que gritan y castigan e insultan son en el fondo unos pobres diablos. Pero entonces yo era mucho más chico y no lo sabía. Mirta no lo sabe ni siquiera ahora, pero ella es tres años menor que yo, y sé que a veces en la noche se despierta llorando. Es el miedo. ¿Usted alguna vez tuvo miedo? A Mirta siempre le parece que el Viejo va a aparecer borracho, y que se va a quitar el cinturón para pegarle. Todavía no se ha acostumbrado a la nueva situación. Yo, en cambio, he tratado de acostumbrarme.

'Réquiem con tostadas' (Mario Benedetti 1920-2009)

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Evans (X), Juan Manuel Macarlupu Peña, Lindsay Spratt

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

As for me, ... (I've tried)

Creo que en inglés, esto suena un poco más coloquial para reflejar el tono del original.
Example sentence:

As for me, I\'ve tried to get used to it.

Note from asker:
Thank you.
