entire and perpetual draining of the pits Explanation: Me parece que podría ser así. Quizás entire podría substituirse por permanent or complete...pero la idea es la misma. Pit se usa en el medio minero para designar un tajo o mina a cielo abierto... Ojalá y sirva. Saludos |

ongoing and perpetual draining of the pits Explanation: I'm convinced that "permanente" means "ongoing" in this context, not "permanent." This is one of those "false friends." |
