English term

the evil in...is that

English to Spanish Art/Literary Psychology Manipulative People
So, the “evil” in Mr. Jackson is that although he knows how to look good, he has never made the commitment to be good by accepting need for and doing the hard work of disciplining his aggression.

Feb 2, 2019 22:01: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Oriol Vives (X), Pablo Cruz

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.

reside en que...etc


"Reside en que aunque sabe como dar la impresión de bondad, nunca se ha propuesto ser realmente bondadoso, puesto que rechaza que esto sea necesario y además huye del duro trabajo que le supondría controlar su agresividad."

el "diablo" dentro Mr. Jackson / el "demonio" que domina al Sr. Jackson

https://dle.rae.es/?id=CAFACdU


El "espíritu maligno" que domina al Sr. Jackson...

Diría yo..., inspirado mefistotélicamente por Lucifer..., y Belcebú y Satanás... sin ir más lejos...

Saludos cordiales y angelicales (aunque sean de "ángeles caídos" ;-)

Pues eso.

(Esto me recuerda a "Los Hermanos Malasombra" "Somos malos malasombra, somos malos de verdad, somos como una espina que solo sabe pinchar..., y más malos que la quina...) (Pero eso es de la época de los Chiripitifláuticos... por la década de los 70, de los que fuimos a E.G.B...)

Erratum:

Como decía el ahora Rey emérito: "Me equivocao..., y no volverá a suceder" (cuando se fue de caza mayor, a cazar elefantes y esas cosillas)

Bueno, mi error es que me he dejAO el "de"

el "diablo" dentro DE Mr. Jackson

Ya se sabe que el que tiene boca se equivoca.

Y el que tiene tecla se equivecla... (influencias del Maligno...)
