No matter how xxx, what's important is how xxx Explanation: I might not be able to put it right in English, but a different example might help : ”いかに難しいことでも、どんなに頑張っておられるか” No matter how difficult something might be, what makes the difference is how hard you try. Hope this helps! |

peer agreement (net): +1how ... no matter (see translation below) Explanation: そして、一番に感じましたことはいかにささやかなご縁でもどんなに大事にしておられるかということ、そして、いかにこまやかな深い慈愛をもって応じておられるかということです。 And, what impressed me straight away is how much (she/he) treasures a relationship no matter how small, that comes into (her/his) life. And how delicately (she/he) responds to them with deep affectionate mercy. The Japanese sounds like a praise on a royal family member. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2009-01-22 13:26:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think I would rewrite as follows; Also what impressed me straight away is how much (she/he) treasures relationships that come into (his/her) life no matter how small, and how delicately (she/he) responds to them with deep, merciful affection. |
