English term or phrase: climb halfway over the divide
Contexto: interior de carro. A maleta estava no banco de trás.
Frase: He had climbed halfway over the divide in order to get the briefcase.
Entendo a ideia, mas qual o equivalente em PT do Brasil?
Always Learning
debruçou-se sobre o banco
Explanation:
Imaginando que a pessoa está dentro do carro e precisa pegar a suitcase no banco de trás, só consigo imaginá-la se debruçando sobre o banco para alcançar o banco traseiro. Com o contexto disponível, só consigo pensar na divide como sendo o próprio banco em que a pessoa estava sentada.
