Ex: At other times they may be doing nothing else but relax: passing the time in a pleasant if untaxing recreation.Ex: New technologies will enable interfaces composed of unobtrusive physiological monitors and prosthetics.Ex: Some librarians anxious to make the transfer from the children's to the adult department as smooth as possible, often create a 'young adults' fiction section within the children's department.Ex: Almost without exception libraries have agreed with the liberal-minded who wanted to make the immigrants' transition into a new society as painless as possible.Ex: This very absence of quality is what makes these books attractive to children, not just because they are easy to read, undemanding, untaxing, but because the simplistic plots and characters leave children free to embroider and enrich the stories in their own way as they read.Ex: The effortless ease of such replies does conceal from the enquirer the extensive anticipatory effort of the librarian in studying the sources of information and his prior experience in their use.Ex: Even in this apparently straightforward situation, complications can arise.Ex: Cooking dry beans in the crockpot makes them relatively hassle-free.Ex: Recycling is a no-brainer since it conserves our natural resources and reduces air pollution.* algo fácil = no-brainer.* cada vez más fácil = ever easier.* camino más fácil, el = path of least resistance, the.* de consulta fácil = scannable.* de fácil acceso = easily available, over the counter, handy.* de fácil alcance para = within easy reach of.* de forma que resulta más fácil de entender = in digestible form.* de la forma más fácil = the easy way.* de lectura fácil = easy reading.* demasiado fácil = all too easy, far too easy.* de modo fácil = with the tip of a hat.* dinero fácil = get-rich-quick.* es más fácil decirlo que hacerlo = easier said than done.* fácil de comprender = easy to grasp.* fácil de conseguir = readily available, easy-to-get, readily accessible, easy to come by.* fácil de consultar por el usuario = browser-friendly.* fácil de contentar = easy-going [easygoing].* fácil de cuantificar = measurable.* fácil de definir = easy-to-define.* fácil de entender = easy to understand.* fácil de leer = easy-to-read.* fácil de localizar = traceable, retraceable.* fácil de masticar = chewy [chewier -comp., chewiest -sup.].* fácil de medir = measurable.* fácil de obtener = easy to come by.* fácil de olvidar = forgettable.* fácil de recuperar = easily-retrievable.* fácil de usar = easy-to-use, user friendly.* hacerse Algo fácil = make + it + easy on + Reflexivo.* hacerse fácil = become + convenient.* más fácil de entender para nosotros = closer to home.* mujer fácil = loose woman.* no ser fácil = have + a difficult time, be no picnic, not be easy.* no ser nada fácil = be hard-pushed to.* optar por la solución más fácil = take + the easy way out.* para hacer más fácil = for ease of.* para su fácil + Nombre = for ease of + Nombre.* presa fácil = sitting duck, easy prey.* resultar fácil = be easy.* se dice pronto, pero no es tan fácil = easier said than done.* ser algo fácil = be a cinch, be a doddle, be a breeze, be a picnic, be duck soup.* ser algo muy fácil de conseguir = be there for the taking.* ser fácil = be easy.* ser fácil de conseguir = be readily available.* solución fácil = easy recipe, easy solution, cut-and-dried solution.* tan fácil como coser y cantar = as simple as ABC.* tenerlo fácil = have + an easy ride.* vida fácil = fast living.* * *A1 ‹problema/lección› easyno me resultó fácil encontrarte it wasn't easy to find youun libro de lectura fácil a book which is easy to read, a very readable booktener la palabra fácil to have a way with wordsfácil DE + INF easy to + INFfácil de entender easy to understand2 ‹vida/trabajo› easydinero fácil easy money3 ‹chiste/metáfora› facile4 ‹carácter› easygoingB (probable) ser fácil QUE + SUBJ:ya es muy tarde, es fácil que no venga it's very late, she probably won't comees fácil que nos diga que no he'll probably say no, he's quite likely to say no, he may well say noeso se arregla fácil that can be easily fixedeste vestido tiene fácil cinco años this dress must be a good five years old o is easily five years olddeben haber pagado fácil un millón they must have paid a million, at least o easily* * *
