Кстати, встретил вот такой пассаж:
>>А я, девоньки, брезгую потеть...<<
Дама, видимо, хотела сказать, что не может терпеть собственного пота на теле и одежде... "Брезгую потеть", это, конечно, сильно сказано... Однако я с ходу не могу найти в русском языке слово, определяющее это чувство: "Я терпеть не могу оставаться/быть потным".
Наверное и в английском будет трудно найти?
