Term: | dar dos golpes con la mano izquierda y tres con la derecha | |
Hello: Quiero decir en inglés algo parecido a esto: Es como si, por cada segundo que pasa, te pidieran dar dos golpes (sobre una mesa o donde quieras) con la mano izquierda y tres con la derecha. Contexto: música y ritmos contrapuestos. My try: It becomes something like if you were asked for every second that goes by, you beat twice (on a table or wherever) with your left hand and three times with the right. Thank you very much | ||

This is my attempt: It's like this: for every second that goes by you should knock (on a table or wherever you want) - twice with your left, and three times with your right hand. I am certain that native speakers of English can do a lot better than me, so please wait for their confirmation/correction. | ||

I would put it like this: It is as if, for every passing second, they asked you to strike a table (or whatever) twice with your left hand and three times with your right. However nqztv's translation is also correct. | ||
