English term

much to their detriment

English to Spanish Other Psychology Sociopaths
Context:

"In other words, it's not so much that their antennae are necessarily impaired (because often they aren't); rather, it's their weak response to what their antennae properly register that is the problem."1

This, of course, was experienced by all of those Lovefraud survey respondents who ignored their intuition and continued the relationships, much to their later detriment.


Thanks

Nov 22, 2015 21:27: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Rosmu, abe(L)solano

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.

para su posterior desgracia

Esta expresión igual puede servir aquí. Es forzar un poco el significado de "detriment", pero creo que refleja el mensaje
Peer comment(s):

agree Jennifer Levey : No es nada de 'forzado'. 'detriment', in contexts such as this, refers, quite precisely, to some kind of 'desgracia'.
