Azione di scarso effetto Explanation: L'espressione 'pushing on a string' viene utilizzata spesso in ambito finanziario per indicare un'azione avente scarso effetto pratico, appunto come spingere una corda. Giacché le corde sono fatte per tirare, il senso della metafora è abbastanza chiaro. ciao GM PS: io me la sono trovata in un test per una nota agenzia Auguri per il tuo test :-) |
