@oristarA,
Quote:1)What does "ONE" mean here?
2) Does "far away" means "much, much smaller" in this context? Because it is used to compare to what was said previously: small.
“ONE last time,” says Father Ted, patiently holding up a tiny model cow to a clearly baffled Father Dougal. “These are small. But the ones out there are far away.”
There is no context for the quote, but I take it as saying something like "These (in my hand) are (really are) small, but the ones out there (perhaps a long way out in the field) are really big, but they only look small because they are far away.
The tenor of the article is that things a long way off may be quite large, but look at small to us, if we can see them at all, because they are so distant.
"One last time" is often used when someone has said or explained something before, but is nonetheless repeating it for the "last time."
One last time, then I aint gunna do it no mo.
