Inglese term

Fluke of history

Da Inglese a Italiano Arte/Letteratura Religione
Israel is in the land and is a “cup of trembling” to the nations – that tiny nation is the world’s flash point or it is a fluke of history, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

il prodotto di una serie di coincidenze/circostanze fortuite

Secondo me non c'è alcuna sfumatura positiva, si parla d'Israele come "punto caldo" del pianeta...
