peer agreement (net): -1| テコ shore up Explanation: shore up -- According to http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=shore up --- Support, prop, as in The new law was designed to shore up banks in danger of failure. This expression derives from the noun shore, meaning "prop," a beam or timber propped against a structure to provide support. The verb shore dates from 1340 and was first recorded in a figurative context in 1581. Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-02-01 04:11:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In essence, one translation would be something like -- Shoring up the maximum profits through the dividing of (or separating) the comapany -- |

peer agreement (net): +2| テコ を梃子に = leveraging Explanation: 梃子 is a lever, both literally and figuratively. This cliche is just as overworked as "leveraging" in English, so this is hardly a "pro" question. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2006-02-01 01:08:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- But I wouldn't use "leverage" here. As Horiemon could tell you, the game is splitting up the company so that you can more easily sell off assets to the highest bidders. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-02-01 02:59:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- While we're talking Japanese adoption of North American business buzzwords... 回収 sounds like a calque of "return" as in "return on business." I don't care if you're not in business translation--I'm sure not--I'd advise all translators to read up on Horiemon's tricks in both Japanese and English because マネーゲーム manipulations heavily impact(!) my high-tech clients. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2006-02-01 23:50:24 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- This just in from WinInfo Update. Just saying "adding" is too tame, I guess. *Leverage* your current VoIP infrastructure to integrate boardless FoIP [Fax]. https://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?t... *Leveraging* Your VoIP Network to Include Fax for IP Reference: http://www.google.com/search?as_q=&num=100&hl=en&btnG=Google... |
