Source text - English Rings should be positioned so that the gaps are uniformly spaced around the piston (except on pistons where rings are pinned). The piston-ring-and-rod assembly should be dipped in heavy oil or castor oil to provide initial lubrication. Castor oil is considered better by many mechanics, since it has greater film strength and will not wash out as easily as mineral oil. Install pistons in cylinders, using a ring compressor (see § 308). Use a bolt guide sleeve and replacement tool, if specified, to keep the bolts from scratching the crankshaft journals (see Fig. 19—4). Attach the rod cap with the nuts turned down lightly. Then tap the bearing cap on its crown lightly with a brass hammer to help center it. Use torque wrench to final-tighten nuts.
Translation - Spanish Se deben posicionar los anillos de manera que las separaciones queden distribuidas uniformemente en torno al pistón (excepto en pistones con anillos con pasador). Luego se sumerge el ensamblaje de pistón, anillos y biela en aceite pesado o de ricino para otorgar una lubricación inicial. Muchos especialistas prefieren el aceite de ricino debido a que este deja una película más resistente que no se desvanece con tanta facilidad como el aceite mineral. Instale los pistones en los cilindros con un compresor de anillos (véase § 308). Use un casquillo guía para pernos y una herramienta de extracción, según especificación, para evitar que los pernos rayen los muñones del cigüeñal (véase Fig. 19-4). Fije la tapa de las bielas apretando las tuercas ligeramente. Luego, con un martillo de bronce, golpee suavemente en la corona del cojinete para facilitar su centrado. Use una llave de torsión para dar el apriete final a las tuercas.
English to Spanish: Literary Studies General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Examining the first group of terms, we see that they empower an inquiry into literature as writing not elevated into a realm of pure art but, rather, remaining open to the same social entanglements and limitations that condition all writing. This position contests the formalist or New Critical emphasis on the appreciation of literature in purely aesthetic terms, as writing that lifts us out of history if out of ourselves, finally—into a timeless and universal realm of beauty and truth. The essays in this text on such terms as "writing," "figurative language," and "narration" raise questions that apply to literature but also to other forms of writing as well, and therefore suggest that literary writing does not enjoy a privileged status within the arena of discourse. Figurative language does not happen only in poetry, and narrative does not happen only in novels.
Translation - Spanish Al estudiar el primer grupo de términos, vemos que estos evocan una interrogante acerca de la literatura como escritura, no encaramada en los dominios del arte puro, sino más bien, permanentemente abierta a los mismos entramados y limitaciones sociales que condicionan toda escritura. Esta posición rebate el énfasis formalista o de la Nueva Crítica sobre la apreciación de la literatura en términos puramente estéticos, como una escritura que nos saca de la historia y de nosotros mismos, y nos lleva hacia un dominio eterno y universal de belleza y de verdad. En los ensayos incluidos en esta publicación, en los que se abordan términos tales como "escritura", "lenguaje figurativo" y "narración", se plantean preguntas válidas tanto para la literatura como para otras formas de escritura, sugiriendo, en definitiva, que la escritura literaria no goza de un estatus privilegiado dentro de la arena del discurso. Es decir, que el lenguaje figurativo no solo ocurre en la poesía, como tampoco la narrativa solo en las novelas.
