take it for a spin Explanation: Etc. They mean take the rake out to the field and try it out, you could express it several ways colloquially.. "Go out and give it a once over"... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2013-09-29 10:27:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Not once have they ever shown face around here to say 'here's a (piece of farming machinery), take it out for a spin..." |

make a round Explanation: En este contexto, yo entiendo que los campesinos se quejan de sentirse solos y al desamparo: "But listen to what I'm gonna tell you, during the last 4 years of hard struggle, neither CONAP nor the (public defenders?) have ventured to even COME forward and say" Hey, look, here's a damn rake so at the very least go and make a round" NEVER! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day12 hrs (2013-09-30 14:32:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A round in this context, means "take the rake and go to work even though it's not the proper tool you need but rather the most rudimentary. At least I'm giving you something" |
