if anything

if anything
пожалуй, если на то пошло, если хотите знать, во всяком случае; как бы то ни было

‘I know why you invited me. Because your father likes me.’ ‘How wrong you are. If anything, that would have kept me from inviting you.’ (J. O'Hara, ‘Elizabeth Appleton’, ch. 11) — - Я знаю, почему вы пригласили меня на вечер. Потому, что я нравлюсь вашему отцу. - Как вы ошибаетесь. Если хотите знать, это только помешало бы мне пригласить вас.

Miss Balaifal's voice was, If anything, not impressive. (W. Saroyan, ‘My Name Is Aram’, ‘The Presbyterian Choir Singers’) — Голос мисс Балайфал, надо сказать, не производил сильного впечатления.

‘I'm no help at all,’ Miss Cranshaw said. ‘If anything, I antagonize everybody, who might otherwise be likely to put money in the play.’ (W. Saroyan, ‘Mama, I love You’, ch. 25) — - Я ничуть не помогаю делу, - сказала мисс Крэншо, - а, скорее, наоборот: восстанавливаю всех тех, кто мог бы финансировать постановку.
