| | no hemos cometido errores significativos | Explanation:
Es otra expresión relacionado con el deporte.
Se refiere al fútbol americano (o bien al béisbol). Cuando se deja caer la pelota, es un error bastante grave. A veces este error no es tan significativo, aunque siempre se nota.
Al fin y al cabo, no me gusta la forma que el autor ha redactado el inglés. Normalmente no se habla de "significant balls". Me da la sensación que el locutor iba de copas con su fraternidad en vez de estudiar como comunicar sus ideas cuando estaba en la universidad. |
