Spanish term or phrase: La de la última vez,
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.

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.
