peer agreement (net): +7(evidence) that the River (Guadalquivir) ran Explanation: Debe tratarse de un artículo titulado "Evidencias del paso del río Guadalquivir por el interior de la bahía de Cádiz durante el pleistoceno medio". Hoy en día, desde luego, el Guadalquivir no pasa por el interior de la bahía de Cádiz. Es decir, que se trata de evidencias de que durante el pleistoceno medio sí que lo hacía. Me parece que queda más natural expresar esta idea de la forma propuesta: "evidencias del paso" quiere decir "evidencias de que pasaba". El verbo "run" es el que normalmente se emplea para referirse al curso de un río. "The presence of many rounded rocks in this area of trail is an indication that the river once ran through here." http://explorenorth.com/library/yafeatures/bl-ChilkootTrail.... "A tradition was recorded in the 1770s that the river once ran close to the south side of Lydney churchyard" http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=23251 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2011-06-15 12:18:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Se podría incluso omitir "River" (que tendrá mayúscula inicial si se incluye, por ser nombre propio): "Evidence that the Guadalquivir ran..." |
