crutch

angielski > polski Literatura/sztuka Idiomy/powiedzenia/przysłowia general vocabulary
ANTOINE LOVELACE: I was talking about my mother in a text message and actually
sent the text message to my mom.
SHEIR: But here's the thing - Antoine was able to take his text back. He uses an app
called On Second Thought, which gives you up to 60 seconds to un-send a message.
That's different from apps like TigerText or Strings, where you can erase a message
once it goes out. Strings creators claim once you delete a text, it's truly gone, not
stored on a cloud server somewhere. But with On Second Thought, your message
never even leaves your phone, which may sound great, but...
ALLISON DRUIN: It is a crutch.
SHEIR: That's Allison Druin of the University of Maryland's College of Information
Studies. She worries we'll become too reliant on apps like On Second Thought.
DRUIN: Instead of stopping people from doing the wrong thing, how can we help
people learn to communicate in more appropriate ways?
SHEIR: One way is by thinking more carefully about what we put out there and how
quickly we do it.

Beata Claridge Mar 15, 2015:
imo, crutch is some sort of a solution, just not a complete one.
imagine a leg is broken (problem) - a crutch does not fix a broken leg, it just helps walking (for the time being anyway)
Darius Saczuk Mar 14, 2015:
CRUTCH here IMO = impediment, obstacle, hurdle.

neutral magdadh : crutch =podpora - zamiast myślec przed wysłaniem, będzie sie polegało na tej aplikacji [later: to prawda, ma wydźwięk negatywny w sensie takim że używanie takiej podpory/furtki prowadzi zdaniem owej pani AD do powstania złych nawyków komunikacyjnych]

Na szybko wydawało mi się, iż w tym konkretnym przypadku "crutch" ma wydźwięk negatywny.

proteza / rodzaj protezy

w sensie przenośnym...
z kontekstu wynika, że owszem, jest to aplikacja pomocna, jednak wydźwięk i ocena korzystania z takiej deski ratunku nie są przychylne... można odebrać "It is a crutch", jako dokończenie poprzedniej wypowiedzi... "which may sound great, but..." > czyli możliwość skorzystania z aplikacji wydaje się świetna, jednak to (tylko) proteza, celem natomiast jest zachowanie większej ostrożności i unikanie pochopnego/pospiesznego działania...


"However, Europe is not a crutch or a cure for an economic crisis."
"Europa nie jest jednak podporą ani lekiem na kryzys gospodarczy."

"For people who do not master the respective language, there is still the helpful means of translation, but this can always only be a crutch for comprehension."
"Ludzie nie znajacy danego języka mogą skorzystać z tłumaczenia, jednak jest to zawsze swego rodzaju proteza, służąca tylko zrozumieniu sensu."

Figuratively and literally, a crutch is what you LEAN/RELY ON when you cannot stand by yourself; here, something that gets you OUT of trouble.

A crutch is a figure of speech that describes something that is used as a surrogate or substitute for a more ideal solution or approach, as in the use of medical crutches as an assistance device for walking. The term also implies a degree of habitual laziness.

agree Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. : IMO, there is an element of truth to this.//The Duck Test: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck (even if on crutches). Have a great Sunday. I hope you "have your ducks in a row."
