A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
几乎没有
Hardly
I hardly expected the grand jury to sustain me, after they saw everything different from what it had been while I was there. Yet they did, and their report to the court advises all the changes made that I had proposed.
我几乎没有料到大陪审团会支持我,因为他们看到的一切都与我在那里时不同。然而,他们确实这样做了,他们向法院提交的报告建议了我提出的所有修改。

有了这种体验的壮丽感和它可怕的简练感,把我们所有的一切都集中到一个绝望的努力去看和触摸,我们将几乎没有时间对我们所看到和触摸的事物做出理论。
My diminished girth, in tailor phraseology, was hardly conceivable even by my own friends, or my respected medical adviser, until I put on my former clothing, over what I now wear, which is a thoroughly convincing proof of the remarkable change.
我的腰围越来越小,用裁缝的话来说,甚至连我自己的朋友,或我尊敬的医学顾问,都难以想象,直到我穿上以前的衣服,穿上现在的衣服,这是一个彻底令人信服的证据,证明我发生了显著的变化。
Even if the whole earth and sea were turned to gold, they could hardly satisfy the avarice of a woman... You can more easily scratch a diamond with your fingernail than you can by any human ingenuity get a woman to consent to giving any of her savings.
即使整个大地和大海都变成金子,也无法满足一个女人的贪婪……用指甲刮钻石比用人类的聪明才智让一个女人同意捐出她的积蓄要容易得多。
