peer agreement (net): +1the curtain is lifted Explanation: A két kifejezést általában együtt használják. Tehát először fellebenti, aztán az a vmi láthatóvá válik, azaz revealed. Pld: The curtain is lifted and the truth revealed. Azt hiszem az angolban nincs pontos megfelelője a "fellebenti a fátylat" kifejezésnek. A fátyol helyett a "curtain"-t használják, amit végülis lehet színházi, vagy átvitt értelmű. "The end of the Cold War ushered the world into an era of relative global stability, yet peace did not come with it. Civil wars proliferated indiscriminately throughout countries, threatening national and regional stability and diverting international attention and scarce resources away from pressing development problems. Accusatory fingers have tended to point towards ethnic tensions, ancient political feuds and the destructive remains of colonialism. But a groundbreaking new study on civil war from the World Bank lifts the curtain on the true culprits." "The curtain is lifted and the truth revealed. The paint on the outside of the can has been scratched off in a small area. The bare aluminum has a different emissivity than the painted aluminum" Reference: http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/NEWS/0,,contentMDK:... Reference: http://x26.com/irpaper_emissivity.htm |
