Question

帮我翻译一下好么,谢谢,

would have stood stoutly even if it had been almost submerged,这里的 stood stoutly 啥意思, even 啥意思,we are lucky in that only the lower fielda which make up a very small proportion of our farm,这里的make up a very small 是固定搭配么,in that only 怎么理解啊,

Answer 1

it has been said that ……就是“据说”的意思,那it was said也是据说的意思，时态不一样：完成时态更强调 所有人出售谋生的 事实。
avoid doing sth，这是avoid的用法, being 是被动语态，避免被广告影响。不是 去影响广告，不是 avoid influencing advertisements

Answer 2

stood stoudly坚定地站着
even if 这里是一个词组，意思为即使
make up是表示组成，构成
in that only lower field 只在那个较低领域

追问

in that only lower field ,这里的only 不能放前面?可以没有that么

Answer 3

几十快淹没了，也坚定地站着
