Pé atras = Hesitant in depositing one´s trust 15:36 Jul 21, 2014
People can simply be suspicious or distrustful in their nature - cautious. I wouldn't say that someone is holding back. To hold back is to refrain from using one's full capacity or potential , or hide your true intentions. . You can smell a rat - be suspicious of foul play, sure, but I believe the subject in question is just simply a distrustful, skeptical person, and hesitant (pé atrás) in depositing his trust. In general not because he smells a rat (suspect foul play), but because he lacks faith in what people say and what they can deliver. |
