8 merely
В современном языке merely является ограничительной частицей, которая имеет свою специфику, заключающуюся в том, что она всегда имплицирует значение 'всего лишь', 'не более, того'. Указанное имплицитное значение merely часто вербализуется в переводе:
• I found it merely annoying... (DT: 101)
Меня это немного раздражало, и только / но не более того / вот и все.
В других контекстах возможно употребление в качестве эквивалента частицы просто, хотя не исключены и другие варианты:
• "Do you feel you are being watched now?"...
"Am I?"
" I merely wondered, Mr. Urfe." (F: 90)
"Вы чувствуете, что за вами следят сейчас?"...
"Вы так думаете?"
"Я просто спросил, м-р Урфе."
• This Seven Dials business isn't merely criminal - it's international. ( AC1: 59)
Вся эта история с семью будильниками - не просто преступление / больше, чем обычное преступление, за ним стоит международная преступная группа.
