hold the grains

Spanish translation: mantener lo aprendido/comprensión de lo aprendido

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: hold the grains Spanish translation: mantener lo aprendido/comprensión de lo aprendido Entered by: Susie Miles (X)

15:55 Apr 8, 2008

English to Spanish translations [PRO] Social Sciences - Human Resources / Training
English term or phrase: hold the grains It's regarding training and best practices. For this phrase, I don't have much context, but it has different phases with a sentence after it: measure, analyze, improve and control. On the control part it says: Control: Hold the grains I know it's not literal... any thoughts? Thanks!	Alejandra Garza KudoZ activity Questions: 81 (5 open) Answers: 160 Mexico Local time: 10:23

Susie Miles (X) 17:41 Apr 8, 2008  Fue interesante, divertido! Gracias a tí también! Alejandra Garza Mexico ASKER 17:11 Apr 8, 2008  Thanks Ruth, I definitely see your point but it doesn't go with the context of the document. However, great suggestion, thanks! Susie Miles (X) 17:04 Apr 8, 2008  Gracias a tí también Vertigirl, yo trataba de ver qué podía tener que ver con Control y pensaba: "agarrar lo importante", "tener en cuenta lo importante/lo aprendido", también podría ser.... Bueno, valió la pena Refugio 17:02 Apr 8, 2008  It is possible that this is "hold" in the sense of "suprimir." (As in, "one hamburger, hold the mayo.") Refined grains (bread, pasta, cereals) are responsible for many health problems? Alejandra Garza Mexico ASKER 16:55 Apr 8, 2008  Gracias, de hecho sí me la da, es como mantener lo aprendido. Si quieres pon tu frase en "answer" para que te de kudoz. Muchísimas gracias Susie. Susie Miles (X) 16:47 Apr 8, 2008  Sólo encontré esta cita en Google's, no sé si te da alguna idea: "... to hold the grains and scruples of learning,—not to weigh them. ..." (The Works of Laurence Sterne) Yo no puedo darme cuenta qué puede tener que ver con la fase de Control. Alejandra Garza Mexico ASKER 16:15 Apr 8, 2008  It's not, it's a Power Point presentation, and it is mentioned twice, but thanks for your help : ) Refugio 16:10 Apr 8, 2008  [transcription] llevar las riendas (lit.) Refugio 16:07 Apr 8, 2008  If this is an audio transcripiton, the transcriber might have misheard 'grains' for "reins". To hold the reins = controlar. Automatic update in 00:

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) neutral  Refugio: I love Sterne, but I am not sure this is the intended meaning here.//Control in English doesn't have quite the same meaning as in Spanish. I dont't see the connection with 'learning'. 3 mins   -> In both cases it's about learning .....
