(to) shoulder

vz ít na svá bedra, převzít

It was always considered necessary for a man to shoulder the main burden of work at a farm the size of ours.

Who, to come to my point, is to shoulder the responsibility?

The task will undoubtedly fall heaviest on Andre Fontaine, who with the death earlier this summer of the newspaper’s founder Hubert Beuve-Mery, has to shoulder the burden alone. I look around, he says, and there is no one there behind.
