| don't box yourself in no te metas en callejón sin salida Explanation: It means to put yourself in a position where you have limited or no options. Like putting yourself literally into a box with no way out. Reference: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/box+in Reference: http://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/bo... |

| don\'t box yourself in no te quedes encerrado/a / no te cierres Explanation: En el caso del sector para el que estás traduciendo puede ser más o menos literal, como no te quedes metido en el hotel o no te cierres a experiencias. Un otro contexto puede llegar a ser "no te comprometas" o "no te cases con". Ver ejemplos. Espero que te sirva. http://www.standard.net/TX/2014/09/14/Try-new-things-don-t-b... https://www.facebook.com/SquizAU/posts/874736739243769 |
