Dear Folks,
I need an ace to help me clarify the meaning of the following sentence.
<From
Time, pp8/15-8/22, 2005>
"Percival survived his ignominy to witness, hardly less allegorically, the
final surrender of Japan on American battleship...."
I can't figure out what "hardly less allegorically" means. Is it close to
"nearly not allegorically" or "nearly allegorically"? Please shed some
light to help me get thru the darkness.
Many Thanks!
