La de la última vez,

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Buenas tardes,

Serían tan amable de ayudar a traducir "La de la última vez"?

Oración:
-"De cual lista me hablas?".
- "La de la última vez", dijo Pedro, que no parecía el mismo de siempre.

Contexto: estás oraciones se encuentran en un cuento que estoy traduciendo y aquí hace referencia a una lista de materiales que Pedro necesitaba para construir un mecanismo que le ayudaría a hacer fraudes en las máquinas tragamonedas.

Traducciones:
No estoy seguro si se traduciría como "The one from the last time" o "The one of the last time".

Muchas gracias.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): philgoddard, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

neutral Jennifer Levey : The 2nd 'the' in "The one/list from the last time" is superfluous. It infringes the rule that in English the definitive article should only be used when it is in fact necessary to be 'definitive'. In Asker's ST, it is not necessary, so should be omitted.
