neutral  Luca Gentili: Ottima soluzione dal punto di vista letterario, ma perderebbe completamente la metafora che magari è legata alla carta della Forza ---> Il leone da "tenere a bada" è rappresentato sulla carta della forza nei Tarocchi

  -> ? Invece della forza (leone), è preferibile usare la diplomazia e il controllo (la carta raffigura una donna che ammansisce un leone) ottenendo così un progresso costante.

domare


Explanation:
perseguire è il concetto che vuole essere trasmesso, ma come ha evidenziato Luca Gentili, perde la coerenza con la simbologia della carta. Il messaggio dovrebbe rimanere il più possibile coerente con l'immagine che vuole essere trasmessa per comunicare a vari livelli di coscienza. Per farlo, onde evitare di ripetere controllo, per domarlo sarebbe una valida alternativa.

Example sentence(s):
  • negoziazione e calmo controllo portano forze a domarlo ed ad assicurarsi progressi duraturi.
