He's not asking you to do what he says but (rather) to listen to him No te pide que hagas lo que él dice, sino que le escuches
Not only... but also
► When the but also part of this construction contains ((subject)) + ((verb)), translate using no solo or no sólo or no solamente... sino que también or sino que además:
It will not only cause tension, but it will also damage the economy No solo or No sólo or No solamente provocará tensiones, sino que además or sino que también dañará la economía ► When the but also part does not contain ((subject)) + ((verb)), translate using no solo or no sólo or no solamente... sino también or sino además:

English-spanish dictionary > but
9 leave smb. in the lurch

покинуть кого-л. в беде, в трудном положении, бросить кого-л. на произвол судьбы

‘I wouldn't take a penny from him, I'd rather starve.’ ‘But it's monstrous that he should leave you in the lurch like this.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 69) — - Не возьму я от него ни гроша! Лучше с голоду помру. - Но ведь это чудовищно - бросить тебя в такой беде!

Of course tongues wagged when Daphne came home with a baby in her arms... But Wally O'Brien had left Kalgoorlie, and whatever scandalmongering there was, did not affect the usual Kindly attitude or goldfields folk to a girl who had been "left in the lutch by some blackguard", as they put it. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Winged Seeds’, ch. XIX) — Конечно, досужие языки заработали вовсю, когда Дафна вернулась домой с ребенком на руках... Но Уолли О'Брайен уже покинул Калгурли, и, хотя любителей посудачить нашлось немало, это не изменило отношения к Дафне. Народ на приисках всегда сочувствует девушке, "попавшей в беду из-за какого-то негодяя", - как там говорят в таких случаях.

I've let you go y'r own ways and given ye everything ye've wanted! And all ye can do is take advantage of me good nature: leave me in the lurch when I need a bit of lookin' after... (K. S. Prichard, ‘Winged Seeds’, ch. XVI) — Вы у меня делали то, что хотели! Я давал вам все, что только ни попросите! Вот вы и пользуетесь моей добротой - бросаете меня на произвол судьбы, вместо того чтобы обо мне позаботиться...

How does he come not to have been taken too? Did he run away and leave Rivarez in the lurch? (E. L. Voynich, ‘The Gadfly’, part III, ch. II) — Каким же образом он уцелел тогда? Неужели он убежал и оставил Ривареса одного в минуту опасности?

SALIDA AL MAR

The War of the Pacific, fought victoriously by Chile against Peru and Bolivia (1879-1883), was to have a huge influence on the later development of all three countries. The major incentive for turning a territorial dispute into a war was the rich deposits of nitrates (then a vital raw material for the production of fertilizers and explosives) in the Atacama Desert. By acquiring the Atacama, Chile also deprived Bolivia of its only access to the sea at the port of Antofagasta, with inevitably damaging consequences for the future economic and commercial development of the country. Bolivia's desire for a salida al mar (“outlet to the sea”) led it to seek alternative access to the Atlantic, and this was partly behind the outbreak of the horrific Chaco War with Paraguay (1932-1935), though the interest of foreign oil companies in possible oil deposits in the Chaco region was at least as important a factor. Today, Bolivia has adopted the peaceful road of negotiations with Chile to resolve the problem.
