English term

never the worse

English to Spanish Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hola a todos:
No estoy segura de si esta expresión significa algo así como "que no le quita valor" en el contexto siguiente:
"Cunning men have fabled, and though it be without either religion, authority, or physical foundation, it may be we may like it never the worse for that, that when God made the stars..."

Muchas gracias,

I agree with nedra also ..."in spite of the fact"
Janet Ross Snyder Dec 28, 2006:
I agree with Nedra.
Nedra Rivera Huntington Dec 28, 2006:
I think you've got the idea of this expression, something like "no less".

Hola Egalobardes...como te escribi hoy temprano antes de las respuestas... al traducir esta frase debe tener un dejo de "in spite that"...combinado con "no less" como bien apunto Nedra.

Have a Happy and a Merry, :))

no menos mal o menor disgusto

it is a matter of personal preference, how much one will dislike or not...
