به‌واقع

به نظر یک‌طرفه زمانی برای ترجمهٔ
single
کاربرد دارد که بحث بلیت و امثالهم باشد، مثل
single ticket.

single در اینجا با این تعریف متناظر است:

single adjective (SEPARATE)

considered on its own and separate from other things:
- Patience is the single most important quality needed for this job.
- She lost every single thing when her house burned down.

همان‌طور که از مثال‌های فرهنگ کمبریج مشخص است، ترجمهٔ آن به زبان فارسی بسته به بافت می‌تواند متفاوت باشد. در مثال‌های بالا، احتمالاً بتوانیم جملهٔ اول را به «صبر به‌واقع مهم‌ترین خصیصهٔ موردنیاز برای این شغل است» ترجمه کنیم، و جملهٔ دوم را به «او تک‌تک وسایلش را وقتی خانه‌اش در آتش سوخت از دست داد.» از این رو، برای این کلمه در متن شما، «به‌واقع» را پیشنهاد می‌دهم؛ مشابه ترجمه‌ام از اولین مثال فرهنگ کمبریج.

تنها مهمترین توافقنامه

Using "single" adds extra emphasis to "most important".
Is there no way to do that in Persian?

My question was about adding a word like "single" to emphasize something, like the example here. If we translate "single most important" the same way as "most important" what is the difference in Persian?

In other words, how can we translate it into Persian so that another translator who is translating from Persian to English would know that he should use "single most important..." rather than "most important"?

If it is not possible, no problem.

thank you. excuse me, to do "what"?
