thankless


Explanation:
Znam da se kaže "thankless task/duty", a ovo mi baš zvuči tako.

Ispod su primjeri iz Guardiana i vlade Novog Zelanda.

Example sentence(s):
  • The position Tony Blair is expected to be offered today - the international community\'s envoy to the Middle East - is so thankless that it has been vacant for more than a year.
  • npleasant affair which is certain to produce ll feeling on the side cast, and since exposure is the primary object in view, the judges at least will have a thankless duty to perform.
