    AS> Anton Shepelev to Denis Mosko:   
      
    DM>>> How translate it to my "intermediate" english level?   
      
    AS>> I  do  not  see anything special in the phrase "bear the brunt of"   
      
    AS> What effort have you put in translating the phrase,  presum- ably  into   
    AS> Russian?  Have you tried looking it up in dictio- naries, first   
    AS> monolingual (defining, explanatory) ones, then English-Russian ones? That   
    AS> failing, have you tried to trans- late each individual word?   
      
    AS> My understanding, without consulting a dictionary to correct or refresh   
    AS> it, is that `brunt' here means the major negative impact.  For example,   
    AS> the rich bear the brunt of a  progressive  tax   
   The rich bear the brunt of a exclusive Porshe Cayenne?   
      
   - is it ok by language?
