within / within the limit of / within the scope of Explanation: it depends from the context, please provide a sentence if you can. Otherwise ambito is translated by "limits (pl.), sphere, scope, ambit, area). See Dizionario Sansoni IT - INGL IT. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2007-02-14 23:57:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would translate "in questo ambito" in your example simply "in this case". "In this respect" is correct. You could also say "in this field. Note that "scope" means more "campo di applicazione", "ambito di applicazione". |
