Sample Sentences for かつて
かつて私のラテン語教師は、メガネの縁からいかめしく私を見下していた。でも今は、それはただ、彼女が読書用のメガネをかけていたので、それをしょっちゅう外す事をやっかいに思ったのだと分かる。つまり、私たち生徒に向けてまるで蔑んでいるように見えていたものは、どうやら実際は優しさだったのである。
My Latin teacher used to look down sternly on me over the rim of her glasses, but now I know it only had to do with the fact that she was wearing reading glasses and that she will have found it a nuisance taking them off all the time, so what looked like contempt towards us students might well and truly have been kindness.
