English term or phrase: mover and shaker
buna,

vreau sa traduc "shaker" ca fiind un recipient de presarat. dar am nevoie de un cuvant. In plus, pentru salt shaker nu pot spune "solnita", avand in vedere ca dexul defineste solnita ca fiind strict un vas mic in care se serveste/pastreaza sarea. aceeasi problema apare si la sugar shaker.

tot de la "shaker" pleaca si "mover and shaker", pe care l-am aproximat cu "persoană trecută prin ciur si dârmon". insa este aproximativ. Poate cineva sa ma ajute cu aceasta mini-dilema presarata cu lapsusuri? Va multumesc

shaker. salt shaker. mover and shaker
persoane cu influenta intr-o anumita sfera


Explanation:
Aceasta este o expresie si nu se refera literalmente la cine ce muta, misca sau scutura, ci la influenta pe care o au anumite persoane in anumite domenii de activitate sau sociale.

"It originated in the setting of Arthur O'Shaughnessy's 1874 poem 'Ode', from his Music and Moonlight collection. In that poem, which singles out poets and musicians as the bards that guide lay thinking, O'Shaughnessy coined the phrase 'movers and shakers'".

In ce priveste "salt shaker" sau intradevar "sugar shaker" de care chiar nu am auzit pana acum, in romaneste de obicei se foloseste simplu "sarea" sau "piperul" si este foarte clar din context ca de fapt persoana cauta sau cere containerul de sare sau piper, indiferent in ce formas se prezinta.

Ca si simplu termen "shaker" se foloseste la fel si in romaneste (vezi www.SHAKER [ȘEICĂR] s. n. recipient în care se agită, cu gheață, elementele unui cocteil. (< engl. shaker) )

"movers and shakers" este in general folosit la plural persoana a treia, si nu este o expresie de argou. Se spune despre cineva ca se invarte printre "movers and shakers" etc. Bineinteles ca se poate folosi pe scurt, "persoane cu influenta"
