forsooth

• adv. 实在；的确；真的（表示轻蔑、讥讽）

forsooth (adv.)

Old English forsoð "indeed, in truth, verily," from for-, perhaps here with intensive force (or else the whole might be "for a truth"), + soð "truth" (see sooth). Regarded as affected in speech by c. 1600.

1. But truly, forsooth, I find it hard to believe him the same man.

不过, 说老实话, 我简直不敢相信他就是那同一个人呢.
