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.* * *f2 TRANSP departuretomar la salida start;dar la salida give the starting signal o the off4 COM:tiene salida there’s a market for it;salida a bolsa flotation5 figopportunity, opening;salida profesional career opportunity* * *salida nf1) : exitsalida de emergencia: emergency exit2) : leaving, departure3) solución: way out, solution4) : start (of a race)5) ocurrencia: wisecrack, joke6)salida del sol : sunrise* * *salida n1.

¿To see, to watch o to look?
Los tres verbos reflejan tres conceptos muy distintos. To see hace referencia a la capacidad visual y no es fruto de una acción deliberada. A menudo se usa con can o could: I can see the mountains from my bedroom. Puedo ver las montañas desde mi dormitorio.
To look at implica una acción deliberada: I saw an old atlas, so I opened it and looked at the maps. Vi un atlas antiguo, así que lo abrí y miré los mapas.
To watch también se refiere a una acción deliberada, a menudo cuando se tiene un interés especial por lo que ocurre: I watched the planes in the sky with great interest. Miraba los aviones en el cielo con gran interés. Igualmente puede indicar el paso del tiempo (we watched the animals playing for half an hour, durante media hora observamos cómo jugaban los animales), movimiento (they stood there watching the cars drive off into the distance, se quedaron allí de pie viendo cómo se marchaban los coches) o vigilancia (the policemen have been watching this house because they thought we were thieves, los policías estaban vigilando la casa porque pensaban que éramos ladrones).
Para hablar de películas u obras de teatro usamos to see: Have you seen Hamlet?, ¿Has visto Hamlet? To watch se refiere a la televisión y los deportes en general: I always watch the television in the evening. Siempre veo la televisión por las noches. I like to watch football. Me gusta ver el fútbol. Al hablar de programas o partidos específicos podemos usar tanto to watch como to see: I like to see/watch the news at 9:00. Me gusta ver las noticias a las 9.00. Did you see/watch the match last night?, ¿Viste el partido anoche?

2) (=incluso, aun así) evenes todavía más inteligente que su hermano — he's even more intelligent than his brother, he's more intelligent still than his brother
3) * (=encima)TODAVÍA Todavía se traduce principalmente al inglés por still o yet. ► Se traduce por still cuando nos referimos a una situación o acción que comenzó en el pasado y que todavía continúa. Generalmente still se coloca detrás de los verbos auxiliares o modales y delante de los demás verbos: Todavía tienen hambre They are still hungry Todavía toco el piano I still play the piano ¿Puedes verlos todavía? Can you still see them? ► También se puede traducir todavía por still para expresar insatisfacción o sorpresa en oraciones negativas. En este caso, still se coloca detrás del sujeto: Todavía no sé cómo ayudarle I still don't know how to help him Después de veinte años todavía no puede olvidarlo After twenty years she still can't forget him ► Se traduce generalmente por yet en frases negativas e interrogativas cuando nos referimos a una situación o acción que no ha tenido lugar todavía y que esperamos que ocurra. Yet va al final de la frase, aunque a veces puede ponerse delante del verbo principal en frases negativas: El doctor no ha llegado todavía The doctor hasn't arrived yet o hasn't yet arrived ¿Todavía no han llamado? Haven't they phoned yet? En lenguaje formal, se puede traducir todavía por yet en frases afirmativas para expresar que algo no se ha realizado. Para ello utilizamos la estructura to have yet + ((infinitivo)) {con} to: Todavía tienen que comunicarnos los resultados They have yet to tell us the results ► En oraciones comparativas todavía se traduce por even: Su prima es todavía más alta que ella Her cousin is even taller than she is El adverbio aún sigue las mismas pautas que todavía: Aún no sé cómo decírselo I still don't know how to tell him ¿Aún no has hablado con ella? Haven't you talked to her yet?
