English to Spanish translations [PRO] Esoteric practices / mind / perception (psychology)
English term or phrase: keen “Is it possible to achieve such a keen look into the minds of your fellows?” ¿Cómo traducirían “keen” en un contexto similar al de la pregunta anterior? (Pongo el tema como "Esoteric practices"... pero puede ser "Psychology", como anoto... bueno, supongo que viene a ser lo mismo...) (Si no me he explicado bien, espero que todos los proz.comlegas tengan suficientes destrezas telepáticas como para leer mi mente... y puedan tener una "visión-keen" de lo que busco...) (Como dicen algunos yucatecos: "Lo busco, lo busco, pero no lo busco"... ("busco" por "encuentro"...) ;-) Gracias de antemano.

JohnMcDove United States ASKER Gracias, Charles. Desde luego, tu percepción 22:38 Oct 26, 2013  concuerda con la mía en muy buena medida. La "mirada profunda" que aporta nahuelhuapi... también me parece una buena solución (me recuerda “Los motivos del lobo” de Rubén Darío: “... le miró con una profunda mirada y partió con lágrimas y con desconsuelos...” (Pero eso es otro tema) Charles Davis Spain John 20:49 Oct 26, 2013  Si puedo ofrecer una opinión, yo diría que la vista suele ser aguda y la mirada, penetrante.
