farli vedere

Italian to English Other Poetry & Literature
Quinci puoi vedere la stoltizia di Aristotile che il lavoro della creatura commette al moto insensato e quasi un niente, poiché bisogna che sia virtù molto attiva e imaginante per potere esprimere l’imagine nel figlio. Una regina, scrive Avicenna, mirando l’imagine d’uno schiavo nero dipinto nell’atto di Venere, generò poi uno schiavo; e già è usanza de’ gran signori dipingere belli cavalli e belli cani, e farli vedere alli cavalli e alli cani quando si fottono, perché simili li generassero. Ma mi stupisco poi che siamo tanto bestiali che trascuriamo la generazione umana e tenemo tanto conto della razza delle bestie.

Apr 27, 2016 17:30: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): James (Jim) Davis

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
