lever up verbo

«Pero nos dimos cuenta de que los ladrillos son muy fáciles de apalancar —me contó muy ufano Luis Carrión—. De modo que durante la insurrección pudimos detener con facilidad sus convoyes, gracias muchas veces a esas carreteras de ladrillos». Carrión parece demasiado joven para dirigir un país.
‘But we discovered that the bricks were also very easy to lever up,’ Luis Carrión told me contentedly, ‘so that during the insurrection years we were often able to stop his convoys quite easily, thanks to his own brick roads.’ Carrión looked too young to be running a country.

purchase verbo

Pronto podrían tener un buen punto de apoyo y apalancar hasta extraerla.

Cogí un destornillador e intenté apalancar el pestillo y meterlo en la cerradura con la punta, pero no tenía la flexibilidad necesaria.
I tried using a screwdriver blade to get a purchase on the bolt and snick it back, but it didn’t have the flexibility.
