agarrar-se


Explanation:
Penso que "agarrar-se" traduz com maior exatidão o termo em questão, uma vez que o mantém afirmativamente. Há vários exemplos de "agarrar-se ao tempo" no Google, inclusive alguns de uso literário.

hold on to: agarrar-se; guardar, ficar com (Reverso)

Trad. sugerida: (O tempo) é algo ao qual devemos / deveríamos nos agarrar.




Example sentence(s):
  • Quando ele se reformou e deixou a empresa, as visitas regulares diminuíram, mas Ulli continuou a agarrar-se ao tempo e afeição que ele ainda lhe dava.
  • Simples: as canções têm uma matéria especial – quando são particularmente boas – que as fazem agarrar-se ao tempo...
