to take a brief Explanation: En este contexto y en mi opinión ¨carajillo¨ no tiene que ver con la bebida mencionada. Más bien es el diminutivo algo despectivo de ¨carajo¨. Mi modo de entender esta idea sería: ... vuelve a tomarse un momento importante/esplendido/de carajo/ no tiene reparo(por no decir ¨se va al carajo¨ o ¨que le importa poco¨) en irse por el universo y se encuentra con nuestro planeta de simios similares a nos. Then in English, I would say: ...he takes a brief to go around the universe. |

peer agreement (net): +1reality check (here) Explanation: A carajillo is a coffee with liquor in it. Back in the day I used to like mine with dark rum and a dash of Tia Maria. However, in the query context I think it means something like this: "...the moment that Charlton Heston gets a reality check after taking a tour of the universe , only to end up back on our own planet with apes like us.... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2020-03-24 10:34:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or maybe not. In that case, a better option might be something like: "...the moment that Charlton Heston TAKES A BREAK to tour the universe, only to end up back on our own planet with apes like us.... |
