| he had baulked at thought of to-day general meeting recalcitrare/riluttare // essere recalcitrante/riluttante Explanation: come "to baulk", anche "recalcitrare" si usa per l'animale che si impunta e, in senso figurato, per esprimere l'essere "contrario, poco disposto, esitante a fare o a permettere" http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/ricalcitrare/ xxx diventa di colpo cosciente/si rende improvvisamente conto di quanto avesse recalcitrato/riluttato al pensiero… (trovo la versione con il verbo più "letteraria" e adatta all'ambientazione del romanzo) |
