【句子】I mean, granted, she’s been the model child so far. 【Desperate Housewives S02E03】

【翻译】我是说，确实，她迄今为止都是一个模范孩子。

今天学习一个单词granted的用法，这个单词可以这样用：

It is used when you are admitting that sth. is true.

“当你想承认某个事情是真的的时候”就可以用这个短语；

它的用法有点像although，一起来看一些例子：

eg: He is a good player, granted, but no better than Williams was.

他是一个很优秀的选手，但是并不比威廉姆斯更优秀。

eg: Granted, many horror films don't make sense until the ending, but they at least provide a few scares along the way.

确实，很多恐怖片直到结尾才能讲得通，但是至少它们提供了一定的恐怖情绪价值。

eg: Granted that the story’s true, what are you going to do about it?

就算那事情是真的，你打算怎么办呢？

eg: -- “You could have done more to help.”

--“Granted.”

-- 你本应该多帮帮忙的。

-- 确实如此。

eg: Granted, it's not the most pleasant of jobs but it has to be done.

确实，这不是最心仪的工作，但这活儿也得有人干啊。

eg: Granted, cab drivers represent only a small number of all road users, but nevertheless their behaviour raises questions about road safety.

确实，出租车司机只代表一小部分的道路使用者，但是他们的行为引发了道路安全的问题。

eg: Early books were the only way that people could understand those times. That is one reason why they have been so amazingly popular, granted that they are not particularly easy reading.

早期的图书是人们能理解那些时代的唯一手段。所以即便有些晦涩难懂，这些书还是很受欢迎。

eg: Granted that the word processor is indispensable, what good has it done?

既然这个文字处理工具是不可或缺的，它有什么优点呢？
