Spanish term or phrase: desmayar
"Es intolerable que se produzca un sólo caso de abuso en el ámbito escolar.... El trabajo que hay que hacer para lograrlo es ingente. Les pido de corazón que no desmayen en él y no caigan en la ingenuidad de pensar que este tipo de problemas solo afecta a otros".


Je ne comprends pas bien le sens de "desmayar" ici.

D'avance merci

se dérober (ici)


Explanation:
Je crois qu'il y a ici une notion de "disparition", comme dans l'évanouissement, une passivité implicite :"ne vous dérobez pas face à lui" par exemple.

no desmayar en él
ne pas flancher


Explanation:
Je pense qu'il n'est pas inutile de rappeler la définition de "desmayar" :

desmayar :
1.intr. Perder el valor, desfallecer de ánimo
http://www.wordreference.com/definicion/desmayar

flancher :
Perdre courage, ne plus persévérer dans son effort, dans ses résolutions, au moment décisif.
http://www.cnrtl.fr/lexicographie/flancher

Ceci dit, la proposition de Juan Jacob était bien.
