Catalan term

entre sorpresos i admirats

Catalan to English Art/Literary Journalism
Bones,

Espero que em podeu ajudar amb aquesta frase:

Tot seguit, acompanyats de la mà de les enriquidores imatges fotogràfiques, anirem, passa a passa, descobrint, entre sorpresos i admirats, les “[més de dues-centes] representacions comptabilitzades de sant Jordi a la ciutat de Barcelona

Vol dir que nosaltres som sorpreses i admirats? o hi ha "surprises and ???"

Com he de dir això en anglès? :o/

Merci.

Amid Hi Helena, in fact, that's exactly what I wanted to convey - that we are engulfed by our own feelings. ;o) It fits with the feeling of the rest of the article. :o)
Helena Chavarria Feb 9, 2014:
@Cris I'm not sure about using 'amid' here. 'Amid' means 'surrounded by, in the middle of'. We're the ones who are surprised, not the other people.
Chris Ellison (asker) Feb 9, 2014:
"Amid our surprise and admiration" Ok - I've been looking at the screen for too long - does this sound okay?

...step by step we discover, amid our surprise and admiration, the “[more than two hundred] recorded representations of St. George in the city of Barcelona.

feeling a mixture of surprise and admiration

Creo que somos nosotros que vamos paso a paso descubriendo las representaciones mientras experimentamos un sentimiento que está entre sorpresa y admiración.

Si fos 'surprises' seria 'sorpresas'. Nosaltres estem sorpresos i admirats.
Note from asker:
Ahh, thanks! I missed that! ;o)
Peer comment(s):
agree Sheila Hardie : Yes, 'sorpresOs' here is the adjective - 'surprised'. They would have used 'sorpresEs' if they had meant to say 'surprises'.
