Ex: Perhaps the sociological light was extinguished by the political draught of the time.Ex: The groundswell of movement towards integrating previously unrelated technologies and markets is now gathering a reasonable head of steam.Ex: The vocabulary used in conjunction with PRECIS is split in two sections, one part for Entities (or things) and the other for Attributes (properties of things, for example colour, weight; activities of things, for example flow, and properties of activities, for example, slow, turbulent).Ex: Voters felt the stream of news coming out of London had little to do with ordinary people.* agua corriente = running water.* con corrientes de aire = draughty [drafty, -USA].* corriente abajo = downstream.* corriente + arrastrar = wash up.* corriente arriba = upstream.* corriente de agua = water body [waterbody].* corriente de aire = air current, draught [draft, -USA].* corriente de chorro, la = jet stream, the.* corriente en chorro, la = jet stream, the.* corriente oceánica = ocean current.* corriente sanguínea, la = bloodstream, the.* llevarle la corriente a Alguien = play along with.* seguirle la corriente a Alguien = play along with.corriente22 = stream, electricity supply, mains electricity.Ex: If no such standards can be observed then, it would seem, romantic fiction along with westerns and detective stories must be regarded as some sort of cul-de-sac and rather stagnant backwater quite separate from the main stream of 'literature'.

Ex: This article gives a brief history of the two main strands in the development of bibliotherapy, or healing through books, in the USA.Ex: This article examines the political shoals, currents, and rip tides associated with off campus library programmes and suggests that awareness and involvement are key ways to avoid running aground.Ex: The cathedral-like hush contrasted strangely with the clamor and movement outside.* contracorriente = cross-current.* corriente de pensamiento = trend of thought, stream of consciousness.* corriente dominante = mainstream.* corriente, lo = the normal run of.* corriente principal = mainstream.* dejarse arrastrar por la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.* dejarse llevar por la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.* en la corriente principal de = in the mainstream of.* ir con la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.* ir en contra de la corriente = go against + the flow.* seguir la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.corriente44 = ordinary, plain [plainer -comp., plainest -sup.], run-of-the-mill, everyday.Ex: Control is exercised over which terms are used, but otherwise the terms are ordinary words.
Ex: He went on to explain that while there were no unsightly slums, there was a fairly large district of rather nondescript homes intermingled with plain two- and three-family brick and frame dwellings, principally in the eastern reaches of the city.Ex: Guides are almost always worth thinking of as the first type of bibliography to search when it is a quick check of run-of-the-mill bibliographical facts which is required.Ex: We have too much invested, and the new systems too intimately integrated into the everyday operation of the library, for us to assume any longer that we can temper their influence on emerging standards.* al corriente = in step, paid-up, in good standing.* al corriente de = in step with.* catalogación corriente = current cataloguing.* común y corriente = unremarkable.* corriente y moliente = run-of-the-mill.* cuenta corriente = current account, checking account, deposit account.* día corriente = ordinary day.* estar al corriente = monitor + developments.* gente común y corriente, la = common people, the.* gente corriente, la = ordinary people.* hombre corriente, el = common man, the.* mantenerse al corriente = keep + current.* mantenerse al corriente de = keep + abreast of, stay + abreast of.* normal y corriente = unremarkable.* ponerse al corriente = come up to + speed.* ponerse al corriente de = catch up with, catch up on.* puesta al corriente = update [up-date].* * *A (que ocurre con frecuencia) common; (normal, no extraño) usual, normales un error muy corriente it's a very common mistakeese tipo de robo es muy corriente en esta zona robberies like that are commonplace o very common o an everyday occurrence in this areaun método poco corriente en la actualidad a method not much used nowadayslo corriente es efectuar el pago por adelantado the normal thing is to pay in advance, normally o usually you pay in advanceun cuchillo normal y corriente an ordinary o a common-or-garden knifees un tipo de lo más corriente he's just an ordinary guy ( colloq)es una tela muy corriente it's a very ordinary materialcorriente y moliente ( fam); ordinary, run-of-the-milles un vestido corriente y moliente it's just an ordinary dressnos hizo una comida corriente y moliente the meal he cooked us was very ordinary o run-of-the-millB1 (en curso) ‹mes/año› currentla inauguración está prevista para el día tres del corriente or de los corrientes the opening is planned for the third of this monthsu atenta carta del 7 del corriente ( frml); your letter of the 7th of this month o ( frml) the 7th inst2al corriente: estoy al corriente en todos los pagos I'm up to date with all the paymentsempezó el curso con retraso pero se ha puesto al corriente she started the course late but she has caught upquiero que me tengan or mantengan al corriente de las noticias que se reciban I want to be kept informed o ( colloq) posted about any news that comes inya está al corriente de lo que ha pasado she already knows what's happenedA (de agua) currentcorrientes marinas ocean currentsdejarse arrastrar or llevar por la corriente to go along with o follow the crowdir or nadar or navegar contra (la) corriente to swim against the tideseguirle la corriente a algn to humor sb, play along with sbCompuestos:stream of consciousnessHumboldt CurrentGulf Stream( Psic) stream of conciousnesscierra la ventana que hay mucha corriente shut the window, there's a terrible draftC (tendencia) trendlas nuevas corrientes de la moda the latest trends in fashionuna corriente de pensamiento a school of thoughtuna corriente de opinión contraria a esta tesis a current of opinion at odds with this ideaD ( Elec) currentuna corriente de 10 amperios a 10 amp currentme dio (la) corriente or ( Col) me cogió la corriente I got a shock o an electric shockse cortó la corriente en toda la calle there was a power cut which affected the whole streetno hay corriente en la casa there's no electricity o power in the houseCompuestos:alternating current, ACdirect current, DCtwo-phase currentelectric currentthree-phase current* * *
