Subject: белая зависть
Доброе утро всем! есть ли англ. эквивалент русской фразе "белая зависть"? Подскажите пожалуйста. Или нужно передавать эту фразу описательно?

Aristotle, in The Rhetoric, writes of emulation as good envy, or envy ending in admiration and thus in the attempt to imitate the qualities one began by envying. Yet it must be added that envy doesn't generally work this way. Little is good about envy, except shaking it off, which, as any of us who have felt it deeply knows, is not so easily done.

- тут упоминается "good envy".

Но, может, лучше еще и описательно добавить.
