peer agreement (net): +2| salvationist are god's presence at the grass roots, the rock face, the sharp end Los salvacionistas son la presencia de Dios en el nivel base, en el frente de trabajo, en la línea.. Explanation: ...de combate Los salvacionistas son la presencia de Dios en el nivel base, en el frente de trabajo, en la línea de combate. Supongo que "Salvationist" debe de ser plural: "Salvationists". Una posibilidad. "The grass roots" se refiere a menudo a "las bases", un nivel humilde, el de la gente de a pie. "The rock face" es una metáfora que expresa la idea del lugar donde se está haciendo el trabajo duro. Creo que "el frente de trabajo" podría captarlo, aludiendo a la minería o la excavación. "The sharp end" se refiere al lugar más peligroso, a menudo en el contexto del combate. Creo que "la línea de combate" podría servir, sobre todo en relación con la idea del Ejército de Salvación. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-05-03 21:24:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "grass roots noun the most basic level of an activity or organization: [as modifier]: improving the game at grass-roots level ordinary people regarded as the main body of an organization’s membership: you have lost touch with the grass roots of the party" http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/grass+roots...
