Granted that he said so, he may not keep his promise.
Granting that he said so, he may not keep his promise.
假定他这么说了,他也未必会守承诺。
take for granted是固定表达,为习惯用语,指“将...看作理所当然”,如to take nothing for granted(不把任何事物看作是理所应当的)。
【错句举例与错句分析】
错句: We took for granted that you knew the whole matter.
订正: We took it for granted that you knew the whole matter.
翻译: 我们以为你当然是知道所有情况的。
分析: take sth for granted不可接宾语从句,一定要接时,需在take后加it作形式宾语。
【例句用法】

他已获准恢复自由,条件是他离开这个国家。
I grant that your explanation is reasonable.
我承认你的解释是合理的。
