English term

dread

English to Chinese Medical Surveying 有关疲劳
I dread having to do things.
Concept: “Dread” has a connotation of “fear,” but it also includes the meaning “to be very reluctant to do something” or “to strongly not want to do something,” for whatever reason.

Shirley Lao Jul 9, 2008:
I believe "fear to do something" is its primary meaning. If you do not get further input from your client, I suggest it be translated using its primary meaning. You can't translate one word using both its primary and secondary meaning.
