peer agreement (net): +1divert Explanation: … divert from the relevant discussion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2020-02-13 02:18:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Eje" aquí creo que se entiende como el "tema predominante en una discusión o discurso" (acepción del DRAE). Quizás una traducción más acertada sería "... divert from the main issue of this discussion/argument". |

6 hrs confidence:
to drive the main issue away Explanation: ...away from the relevant discussion. Other options might include 'move' or 'lead' but these lack the special association of force(ful) (movement) found in the source text. eje = main, core, primary issue I also like Carlos's 'divert' but since this verb is transitive, a word like 'attention' would normally be added. I hope this helps! |
