   • 1885, E. T. A. Hoffmann, The Entail‎^[2]:

     “I assure you, cousin,” replied the old gentleman, “that the Baron, notwithstanding his unpleasant manner, is really one of the most excellent and kind-hearted men in the world. As I have already told you, he did not assume these manners until the time he became lord of the entail; previous to then he was a modest, gentle youth. Besides, he is not, after all, so bad as you make him out to be; and further, I should like to know why you are so averse to him.” As my uncle said these words he smiled mockingly, and the blood rushed hotly and furiously into my face.

用法說明

• adverse和averse兩詞有時會混淆，雖然兩者詞義並不相同。adverse常指某物與某人的利益相悖，即某人會稱作adversity或adversary的東西 — （adverse winds; an attitude adverse to our ideals——逆風；與我們理想相悖的態度）。averse一般形容人，表示人反對，牴觸某物（a leader averse to war; an investor averse to risk taking——厭惡戰爭的領導人；不願冒風險的投資者）。averse常與to連用，構成如「I am averse to…」的形式。adverse少用於此類構式，因為它形容的是物不是人。
• averse from是古舊形式，對應於現代形式averse to。
