Eye in the Sky: Refer up - Helen Mirren
—Ma'am, I think it would be wise to refer up.
—Are you telling me that or just debating with me?
—To refer up? I am telling you.
He says he has to ‘refer up’ meaning he won’t stick his neck out without having the protection of his higher-ups.

So the real question for screen-writer Guy Hibbert and Director Gavin Hood is how do you maintain the stress, can you amp up to a white-knuckle moment only to back away when some politico says, I’ll have to refer up.

Για γενική χρήση, τα θεμιτότατα: απευθύνομαι/ προσφεύγω/ καταφεύγω στους ανωτέρους/ στα ανώτερα κλιμάκια.
Όπως το κλασικό refer something to:
refer something to: Pass a matter to (a higher body) for a decision:
'the prisoner may require the Secretary of State to refer his case to the Parole Board'
αλλά το up —με τη σημασία της ανώτερης βαθμίδας που λέει ο Θέμης— έχει το πλεονέκτημα ότι κάνει τη φράση πιο παραστατική, παραπέμποντας στην κλίμακα, την ιεραρχία, και εξαλείφει την ανάγκη για ρητό προσδιορισμό αυτού του up, δηλαδή με το refer up αποφεύγεται να δηλωθεί σαφώς ποιο είναι αυτό το higher body.
