tap within (spiritually) |
|
tap within repiquetear Explanation: To tap => repiquetear. Creo que la frase queda más clara y natural en español si se omite el "within", ya que se infiere del contexto y no hay ninguna preposición que quede realmente bien aquí. No creo que "tap" se utilice con el sentido de "aprovechar o explotar algo para extraer sus recursos", ya que si así fuera, no iría acompañado por una preposición y la estructura de la frase sería diferente ("It is this that one must tap [...]".). Por otro lado, la proximidad de la expresión similar "knock-knock" refuerza la probabilidad de que se refiera a "repiquetear". |

Reference: tap within (spiritually) Reference information: I am not sure whether "tap within" is connected with "knock" and refers to "knock on one's inner door", as Alistair suggests. If so, it is a kind of wordplay, because "tap within" is an established expression in this field: "Step 12 - Attaining Wisdom/Connecting This is the bodhisattva step in recovery. [...] The knowledge of our true selves and the power and direction to carry that out. To tap within ourselves, knowing that good things we can not conceive of today will happen. http://www.justloveaudio.com/resources/Assorted/Buddhist_12_... "New Age teaches that by reaching within, into our selves, through meditation and yoga, we can realize and tap into our divine natures. [...] To get in tune with this God force, expounds New Age, all we have to do is tap into it, very much like an electrical plug taps into an electrical socket. [...] The author of this website was sincerely practicing meditation and yoga for six years. Because of the power he initially experienced, he was convinced he had found the answer to his spiritual quest. He felt man could in fact become god and lift himself by his own bootstraps, that we are in fact gods that only need to tap within to actualize it." http://www.earthharvest.org/en/christian_online_bible_apolog... |
