Hola a todos.
Esta es una cita del Che Guevara. He leído varias traducciones al inglés pero quisiera saber si hay alguna particular que se use más. Gracias.

Spanish term (edited):
...y sobre todo, sean siempre capaces de sentir en lo m�s hondo ...
Selected
and most of all, always be able to feel any injustice profoundly
Also you could split the infinitive if you wanted to risk it (it sounds good but is grammatically incorrect):
"and most of all, always be able to profoundly feel any injustice...."
"and most of all, always be able to profoundly feel any injustice...."

: Some verbs don't take the infinitive. It's "capable of feeling." http://langues.cmaisonneuve.qc.ca/sbeller/quizzes/Grammar_Go...

Spanish term (edited):

and, above all, that they be able to be deeply affected by any injustice committed....
..against anyone, anywhere.
To "deeply feel" an injustice is not only vague but rather more passive than "affected". If someone is "affected" there is an implication that they will "react" to being so "affected". If one merely "feels", there is no such implication. For a man of action like Che, this is a difference that would really matter.
I also like the alliteration of any injustice....against anyone, anywhere.
Suerte.

Addendum 2: not "alliteration", but "assonance" of "any...against anyone, anywhere. [It has been a long day.]

Question of style. "En lo mas hondo..." can be translated in several different ways.
