: w/Katarina : "with an elemental force" here in an adverbial phrase. "By" would be OK in another context ("driven by an elemental force"), but that's the "by" of agent, not the "with" of manner.

with irresistible force
Az elementáris szó alapvető jelentésére kell gondolnunk, ami bizony ellenállhatatlan vagy visszafoghatatlan. Az elemental szó nem váltja ki az azonnali megértést sugalmazó asszociációt az angolul gondolkodó agyban. Az irresistible viszont azonnal érthető és jobban kifejezi a jelképet. És a mondatra a javaslatom: The crisis with irresistible force urges us to modernize our economies. (Ha világviszonylatban beszélnek róla.) Ha pedig egy országra vonatkozóan, akkor economy az economies helyett.
Example sentence:
To believe in God for me is to feel that there is a God, not a dead one, or a stuffed one, but a living one, who with irresistible force urges us towards more loving”

Nem rossz az Denny, csak kiemelés. Lásd Chicago Style Manual-ben szórend és kiemelés alatt.

Jim Tucker (X)
: This is OK too, though I don't see the problem with "elemental." "Irresistible" is almost too mystical or poetic a word here - but nothing wrong with it. Also the suggested sentence is perfectly fine.
