よほど

「いや、よほど偉いひとが始終来ているんだ。」

“No, it’s just that someone very important is always coming around.”

わたしのほうがよほど大きいと、きのうも判事さんがおっしゃったじゃないか。

The judge said just yesterday that I’m much bigger, didn’t he?

きっとよほど偉い人たちが、たびたび来るんだ。

Important people must come here all the time.

何かよほど深いわけがあるんだねえ

There must be some really serious reason behind it.

母親の死がよほどショックなんだ
