Ex: In addition to main or added entries under titles added entries are often also made in respect of distinctive series titles.Ex: Clearly, the only totally adequate indication of the content of a document is the text of the document in its entirety.Ex: In practice critical abstracts are rare, and certainly do not usually feature in published secondary services.Ex: Equally important was the desire to achieve a single text.Ex: Mainframe computers are rarely dedicated to the library's own sole application, unless the library concerned happens to be a national library, offering online access to its data bases to a wide audience.Ex: The basic requirement of a shelf arrangement system is that each document has a unique place in the sequence.Ex: The British unitary system of government impeded local efforts and a spirit of voluntarism.Ex: Appropriate system planning to eliminate 'holes,' segregation of public and administrative networks, programming security 'firewalls,' and assignment of one-time passwords all help in networked computing security.Ex: Discussion centred around the need for a single-source guide to collection management and electronic media.Ex: The company also offers a flat $50 trade-in allowance on major encyclopedias from other publishers.Ex: Join leading experts in cultural heritage informatics for a one-of-a-kind learning experience.Ex: Their problem, Waikart concluded, 'was unique unto itself'.Ex: The article ' Once in a lifetime: a student at Conference' presents a student's view of the Library Association's Centenary Conference, 1977.* autor personal único = single personal authorship.* cuota única = flat one-time fee.* de una única palabra = single-word.* ejemplar único = singleton.* el único = the one and only.* el único e incomparable = the one and only.* el único e inimitable = the one and only.* el único problema = a fly in the soup, the fly in the ointment.* experiencia única = experience of a lifetime.* hacer único = individualise [individualize, -USA].* hecho para una única ocasión = one shot.* la única pega = the fly in the ointment, a fly in the soup.* mercado único = single market.* Mercado Unico Europeo = Single European Market.* moneda única = single currency.* oportunidad única en la vida = chance of a lifetime.* pago único = one-time purchase, lump sum.* pago único y bien grande = fat lump sum.* postura única = unified voice.* servicio de única ventanilla = one-stop service.* sistema de entrada única = single entry system.* sistema en el que el documento aparece representado en un único lugar del ín = one-place system.* término que representa un único concepto = one concept term.* una única fuente para Algo = one-stop, one-stop shopping, one stop shop.* un centro único = one stop shop.* única fuente = single-source.* * *A (solo) onlyes la única solución it's the only solutionel único sobreviviente the sole o only survivorlo único que quiero es … the only thing I want is …, all I want is …¡es lo único que faltaba! that's all we needed!un sistema de partido único a single-party system, a one-party systemsu único hijo their only childsoy hijo único I'm an only childes un ejemplar único it's unique, it's the only one of its kindun acontecimiento único a once-in-a-lifetime o a unique eventB (extraordinario) extraordinaryun actor único an extraordinary actormasculine, feminineonly onees el único que tengo it's the only one I haveel único que no está de acuerdo the only one o the only person who doesn't agreelas únicas que quedaban the only ones (that were) left* * *
