| majority compliant mayoritariamente complaciente Explanation: O incluso "sumisa". "Majority" se emplea aquí como adverbio. Quiere decir que el Ayuntamiento se sometió mayoritariamente al deseo del gobernador (prácticamente un chantaje, ya que la alternativa era la imposición de un administrador). "It is ironic that on that date this year, the governing bodies of Detroit capitulated to Gov. Rick Snyder and Wall Street by agreeing to a so-called “Financial Stability Agreement” or FSA, which cedes control over the City’s finances to a nine-member Financial Advisory Board. This was in lieu of the appointment by the governor of an Emergency Manager with similar authority under Public Act 4. [...] The Financial Advisory Board will essentially usurp the existing limited authority of the elected City Council and Mayor Dave Bing. While five members of the Council voted to accept this capitulation to the banks, four members rejected the agreement, saying it was illegal and solely designed to overturn the voting rights of residents and labor contracts of union members." https://www.workers.org/2012/us/detroit_0419/ |

13 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1| majority compliant aquiescencia Explanation: Entiendo ambas propuestas de traducción y soy incapaz de decidir si el significado es literal (decisión adoptada por mayoría simple) o si se implica que hubo manipulación del voto para conseguir conformidad. Se me ocurre una alternativa que podría ser igualmente abierta en su interpretación: … adoptado (por 5 votos a favor y 4 votos en contra) con la aquiescencia del Detroit City Council. Entendiendo "aquiescencia" como aceptar sin protesta (al menos en público). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_influence Compliance (also referred to as acquiescence) demonstrates a public conformity to a group majority or norm, while the individual continues to privately disagree or dissent, holding on to their original beliefs or to an alternative set of beliefs differing from the majority. Compliance appears as conformity, but there is a division between the public and the private self. |
