8 -contemptible o contemptuous?-
Nota d'usoL'aggettivo contemptible si usa in riferimento a qualcosa che suscita disprezzo: This shirking of responsibility is contemptible, questo sottrarsi alle responsabilità è spregevole; l'aggettivo contemptuous indica qualcuno che prova disprezzo, o qualcosa che ne è dimostrazione, e quindi significa “sprezzante, sdegnoso”: to be openly contemptuous of any authority, disprezzare apertamente ogni autorità; to give a contemptuous little laugh, fare una risatina sprezzante. -
