JASMINE: Father, I
hate being forced into this. If I do marry, I want it to be for love.SULTAN: Jasmine, it's not only this law. I'm not going to be around forever, and I just want to make sure you're taken care of, provided for.
JASMINE: Try to understand. I've never done a thing on my own. I've never had any real friends. Except you, Rajah. I've never even been outside the palace walls.
| to hate | El verbo to hate significa odiar. Siempre es seguido de un gerundio. |
| I do marry | Realmente me caso. Notar el uso del auxiliar do. Este auxiliar no sería necesario (se podría haber dicho 'I marru') pero se agrega para enfatizar la acción. |
| to want something to be | querer que algo sea |
| to be around | estar cerca |
| to make sure (that)/of something | asegurarse de algo. Esta expresión puede estar seguida de that + sujeto + verbo, o de la construcción of + something/gerund. Por ejemplo, 'to make sure that you lock the door' o 'to make sure of locking the door.' |
| to take care of something/somebody | cuidar algo / a alguien |
| to provide for somebody | mantener a alguien, brindarle lo que necesita. Por ejemplo, 'They work hard to provide for their large family' significa 'Trabajan mucho para mantener a su numerosa familia.' |
