English term or phrase: There is little doubt
Es una oración que empieza así: "There is litte doubt that high ventilating pressures and excessive regional lung volumes are damaging". He investigado cómo traducir 'little doubt' y he encontrado cosas contradictorias, porque algunas páginas dicen que 'little doubt' es lo mismo que 'no doubt' pero en otras dice que 'no doubt' is used when you're saying something is probably true, pero 'little doubt' is a doubt as to wether/what (e.g. There is little doubt he was a killer).
De antemano gracias :)

Asker: Gracias, se que también podría ser así, pero elegí 'casi no hay duda' porque arroja más resultados en google, se usa más. Gracias de todos modos.

agree  Richard Boulter: This is fine and it is even more faithful to the source. 'No hay duda' and other total-no's would also probably be okay in the context. Regards, Eski!
