Question

ESLPod_0543_WE_0760 Describing Different Smells The word "faint," in this podcast, means very slight or almost unnoticeable: "There's always faint music playing in the office, but it's never so loud that it interrupts our work." The phrase "a faint hope/chance" means a slight possibility that something might happen: "There's only a faint chance that people are still alive under the collapsed building, but we have to keep looking." The phrase "to not have the faintest idea about something" means to not know anything about something: "'What do you think she meant by that?' 'I haven't the faintest idea.'" Finally, someone who is "faint-hearted" is not trying very hard, usually because one doesn't think one can do it, or because one doesn't really want to do or have it: "Marissa made a faint-hearted attempt to get the job, but she really wants to stay home with her children."
