Example: In order to support a core acquistions programme of essential materials for its users, a library will more readily cut out material on the fringe of its needs if such material can be obtained by a good document supply system.» de poca importancia = menial ; small-time .

Example: EJ Coates, former editor of the British Technology Index, has suggested a significance order of terms which helps us to determine the citation order in headings for compound subjects, at least up to a point.

Example: I did de-emphasize it, because authority information is not nearly as important in an online catalog as it is in a bookform catalog, where it is absolutely imperative to have it. Example: University faculty generally understate prices of textbooks for their courses = El profesorado universitario generalmente subestima los precios de los libros de textos de sus cursos. Example: The suggestion proposes changes that will raise the reference librarian's status, thus trivialising an interesting and complicated problem. Example: Like most of 'women's work', much of scientific communication has been so invisible to outsiders that it has been taken for granted, and its importance is often minimised. Example: The author focuses on the sites offering features that downplay the technology in favour of the human touch. Example: To some extent this worked - haphazardly perhaps, but in a cheerful atmosphere that, though he did not realize it then, glossed over the inadequacies of his approach.

Example: Antisemitism soft-pedal the importance of religious belief for comprehending the persistence of Jew-hatred. Example: It's easier to play things down then hold your ground. Example: We found an increasing trend toward a more structured approach in data gathering procedures, while loose data collection was toned down significantly. Example: They also differ in their views of what can be done to 'sweeten the pill,' whether death ought to be viewed as a barrier to self-fulfillment or a means of self-transcendence. Example: The government has attempted to sugar-coat the pill by making various promises about maintenance of employment and working conditions. Example: Liberal economists like to sugar the pill by talking about constructing a social safety net. Example: Some Muslims try to sugar-coat the ugly truths about the way their religion is practised. Example: Sometimes making fun of something terrible helps to take the teeth out of it.
