   Tiene tres recámaras: si invitamos a los primos, nos sale casi regalada.

   It's got three bedrooms: if we invite the cousins, it comes out practically free.

   Es su aniversario, no una posada. Cuanto más llena esté la cabaña, menos chiste tiene el regalo.

   It's their anniversary, not a Christmas party. The fuller the cabin, the less point there is to the gift.

   Tienes razón. Sin embargo, acabo de pagar la colegiatura de la maestría y ando corto.

   You're right. However, I've just paid my master's tuition and I'm short on cash.

   Yo, en cambio, acabo de cobrar el aguinaldo. Si quieres, yo aporto el anticipo y tú, el resto en enero.

   Va. Apúrate, que la tía ya se enteró, y cuanto más tardemos, más fácil que se nos pegue.

   OK. Hurry up, though, because our aunt has already found out, and the longer we take, the likelier she is to tag along.

   I'll book it now. And so the cousins don't feel hurt, we'll invite them for lunch on Sunday.

   Ahí sí, entre más, mejor. Y que la tía traiga sus pastes, que esos nadie los rechaza.

   That's different: the more the merrier. And the aunt can bring her pastes, since nobody ever turns those down.
