Era como si se hallara en una inmensa caverna.....

[Makeo]

Is this a fairly accurate translation?

Era como si se hallara en una inmensa caverna cuyos muros y techo estaban formados
por masas de coleres cambieantes y sombrios que, en ocasiones, se desgarraban para dejar paso a la claridad de la luna.


He found himself in an immense cavern, whose walls and roof were formed from masses of variable colours and darks that on occasions he was torn to step to the brightness of the moon.

[Jay Bee]

Almost perfect. I'd just replace "he was torn" by "tore"

[Unspeakable Horror]

Yes
But you should change:
"masses of variable colours and darks" for:
"masses of dark variable colours" I think

"that on occasions, he was torn to step to the brightness of the moon."
"that on occasions would torn apart to... " Sorry, not sure about this one but it´s still talking about the "walls and roof" not about him

Note: he isn´t in a cavern really, he feels like he is inside one.

[Estilpón]

supongo que deberÃa ser: "Se encontró..." en lugar de "Era como si se hallara..."

¿es el mito de la caverna?

La traducción es de español a inglés o al revés?

Cuál mito de la caverna? Contá contá!

[Makeo]

no seguro de este uno

Reultaba dificil de creer que aquellos muros no fueran otra cosa que nubes apretadas sobre las monatanas y el oceano, a pesar de que el claro de luna recortaba sus perfiles,

It was difficult to believe that those walls were not another thing that sqeezed clouds on the mountans and the oceans despite the fact that the light of the moon cut their profiles,

(doesn't really make sense)


las banaba de plata e iluminaba el mar Negro y turbulento cuyas olas batian la orilla en la que se encontraba el hombre.


bathed them in silver and illuminated the sea whose black and turbulent waves beat the shore where the man is found.

[Zcylen]

de que es esta historia?

[Alfonso]

Makeo es un buen traductor.

[Unspeakable Horror]

(doesn't really make sense)

It´s what it says

2°:
...where the man is found. -> ...where the man was.

[Alfonso]

banaba: bañada/ bañados


EDIT: Jo que lio sin la tilde esta ñ

Ni caso makeo...

I think his keyboard doesn´t have "ñ" and he is trying to translate from Spanish to English, right?

Edit: Crosspost!
