some confusion on U.S TV drama " desperate housewife"
It is Season 7 Episode 01. I was confused by the following actor's lines:
---Oh, I don't hate them...
---A little.
The chinese subtitles show "a little" mean it is simple （就这么简单）
I want to know the exact meanding and the analysis method.The plot is the man who said "a little" was framed for murder. And no neighbor believes and visits him. The police said you should hate them when you were back. While he said no but then a little. Pls see the following lines FYR
Police: None of your neighbors supported you during the trial.They didn't visit while you were here.No one would blame you if you hated them a little.
Man:Oh, I don't hate them...A little.

Answer

He means: He doesn't hate them "a  little". He hates them A LOT.

You have to read it in context of what the police man said.

不是一點點，是很多。

Answer

Who says them? The same person? Two different people? I'm afraid you're going to have to write more.
