Example: These stoppages for informal discussion gives the pupils time to gather their energies again to continue reading. Example: But to say 'no one gives a fuck about Haiti' is frankly quite offensive to the people who have donated their time and money to help.» dar tiempo a Alguien = give + Nombre + some time .
Example: Once again, the children's playroom was brilliant, gave them some time to relax in a safe environment without constant need for supervision.» dar tiempo al tiempo = you can't rush time ; let matters take their course ; time will take its course ; everything in (its) due time ; everything has its appointed time ; everything happens in its own time ; to everything there is a season ; everything in (its own) good time ; nothing happens before its time .
Example: Like most teens, you probably just wish time would hurry up and you were out of high school already, but you can't rush time. Example: I'll just let matters take their course and concentrate on studying and hope that everything will be all right in the end. Example: This year, I won't make any resolutions because I don't want to pressure myself -- time will take its course. Example: He is already sounding like a broken record in saying that he will explain everything in due time. Example: Just like a flower in season, everything has its appointed time and there is always a beginning and an end. Example: We may want things to happen at a particular time, but I keep learning over and over again that everything happens in its own time. Example: I know that to everything there is a season, but I am a gardener and I start counting the days until spring the day after Christmas. Example: Indeed, some might well wonder why it has been so late in the making, but I am reminded of the popular saying 'nothing happens before its time' and 'everything in its own good time'. Example: Indeed, some might well wonder why it has been so late in the making, but I am reminded of the popular saying 'nothing happens before its time' and 'everything in its own good time'.» de algún tiempo a esta parte = for some time now .
Example: The new Dewey area tables have been used for some time now in the BL's Bibliographic Services Division with relatively few problems.» dedicación de tiempo = expenditure of time .
Example: Mearns, too, has warned against 'profligate expenditure of time and effort when the reference librarian's own curiosity is fired to a point where he feels himself impelled to seek personal satisfaction'.» dedicar algún tiempo a hacer algo = have + a turn at .
Example: Seven of the compositors, moreover, did short stints at press, and one of the pressmen had a turn at composition.» dedicar el tiempo y el esfuerzo = take + the time and effort .
Example: If a patron is willing to take the time and effort to use the library -- whether physically or virtually -- there may be an economic benefit that the patron receives from that use.» dedicar tiempo = spend + time ; lend + time ; expend + time ; devote + Posesivo + time ; dedicate + time ; put in + time .
Example: Superior cataloguing may result, since more consistency and closer adherence to standard codes are likely to emerge with cataloguers who spend all of their time cataloguing, than with a librarian who tackles cataloguing as one of various professional tasks. Example: Stumpers is an international network of librarians willing to lend their time to answering difficult questions. Example: Perhaps the library cannot afford to expend staff time in providing additional bibliographic searching for interlibrary loan requests received. Example: 'But,' the cry may ring out, 'how can anyone hope to devote the time and energy that this in depth service would require?'. Example: Many libraries complained that it was an expensive service to run and that the staff operating it had to dedicate a lot of time to maintaining their skill. Example: Some employees just put in time, doing enough to get by, but never really trying to take on responsibility or learn anything new.» dedicar tiempo a = take + time on .
Example: Rather than take a whole lot of time on this, let me utter a brief commercial on behalf of a book which addresses precisely this area of women-related headings, Joan Marshall's 'On Equal Terms'.» de hace mucho tiempo = age-old ; long-term ; long-lost .
Example: The current environment in higher education is providing an opportunity for librarians to define a future that will ensure their central role in the educational process and thus resolve these remaining age-old questions. Example: Many long-term residents feel that Junctionville should be governed the way it was before Groome appeared -- by 'good old boys' who had worked their way up, who eschewed issues, and who faithfully rewarded their cronies. Example: It is undeniable that the ripest crop of unrecognised great inventors, long-lost heirs to dormant peerages, and assorted harmless drudges is to be gathered in the great general libraries of our major cities.» dejar (suficiente) tiempo para = allow + (enough) time for .
Example: For successful applicants the deadline for submission of full papers is May 31, 2012 to allow time for review of papers.» dejar tiempo = free up + time .
Example: In fact, our survey unco
