Meaning of NO-SHOW - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English if you call someone a no-show it means that they were supposed to meet with

Entonces, en inglés, si llamas a alguien que no se presentó, significa que se suponía que debía reunirse

you or they were supposed to come to a certain place to meet you and they didn't show up.

contigo o que debía venir a un lugar determinado para encontrarse contigo y no se presentó.

They didn't arrive.

no llegaron

They didn't come.

ellos no vinieron

Today Jen had an order for some flowers, someone called and ordered a lot of flowers from our

Hoy Jen hizo un pedido de algunas flores, alguien llamó y ordenó muchas flores de nuestra

flower farm and the person said they were going to be here at 1:00 but they didn't come

granja de flores y la persona dijo que iban a estar aquí a la 1:00 pero no llegaron

at 1:00 and it is almost 6:00 and they are still not here.

a la 1:00 y son casi las 6 :00 y todavía no están aquí.

So we would call that person a no-show.

Así que llamaríamos a esa persona que no se presentó.

We were expecting them to show up.

Esperábamos que aparecieran.

We were expecting them to come and pick up their flower order, but we haven't seen him

Esperábamos que vinieran a recoger su pedido de flores, pero aún no lo hemos visto,

yet so we're pretty sure that he is a no-show which is too bad because we have a whole bunch

así que estamos bastante seguros de que no se presentó, lo cual es una lástima porque tenemos un montón

of flowers that this person wanted and they didn't come to get them.

de flores que esta persona quería. y no vinieron a buscarlos.

So, anyways, if someone doesn't show up when they are supposed to we call them a no-show.

Entonces, de todos modos, si alguien no se presenta cuando se supone que debe hacerlo, lo llamamos no presentado.

So if you go on a date and someone is a no-show, like if you are going to meet someone for

Entonces, si vas a una cita y alguien no se presenta, como si te encontraras con alguien para

a romantic evening, for a date, we would say that you have been stood up.

una velada romántica, para una cita, diríamos que te han dejado plantado.

So kind of, the person who doesn't show up is called a no-show, but the person who is

Entonces, a la persona que no se presenta se le dice que no se presentó, pero a la persona que está

waiting for that person we would say that they are stood up, or that they have been

esperando a esa persona le diríamos que está plantada o que la han

stood up.

plantado.

So if you don't show up you are a no-show.

Entonces, si no te presentas, no te presentas.

If you are the person sitting there waiting and the person doesn't show up you have been

Si usted es la persona que está sentada allí esperando y la persona no aparece, lo han dejado

stood up.

plantado.
