2 -loath o loathe?-
Nota d'usoL'aggettivo loath significa “essere poco propenso, restio”: Having only just moved into this house, I'd be loath to move for a few years, essendomi appena trasferito in questa casa, sarei restio a trasferirmi per alcuni anni. Non si deve confondere loath con il verbo to loathe, che si pronuncia in modo molto simile, ma significa “detestare, aborrire”: I simply loathe Mondays, semplicemente odio i lunedì; I loathe commuting to and from work every day, odio fare il pendolare ogni giorno. -
