daunt
transitive verb
acovardar
EN How solemnly they would listen to the contents, as drawled out by Derrick Van Bummel, the schoolmaster, a dapper learned little man, who was not to be daunted by the most gigantic word in the dictionary; and how sagely they would deliberate upon public events some months after they had taken place.
GL ¡Con que solemnidade escoitaban o seu contido así que o ía lendo Derrick Van Bummel, o mestre da escola!, un homiño pulcro e culto, que non se acovardaba ante a máis complicada das palabras do diccionario; ¡e con que sabedoría deliberaban sobre os sucesos públicos varios meses despois de aconteceren!
