take sth for granted 用法

我觉得granted这里是过去分词作形容词,然后作for的宾语,for granted可以理解为宾补,但是我想不通granted不是同意的意思允许同意的意思吗?为什么会翻译为认为...理所当大然呢?

赞同曹老师的观点。

如果网友想了解的更多,我把take 表示“认为”(consider) 的用法,结合多部英语词典总结归纳如下:

一、take + 宾语 + to be

I took her to be his daughter.

来自《朗文词典》

I naturally took him to be the owner of the estate.

我自然而然地把他当成了庄园的主人。

来自柯林斯例句

I take him to be a friend of yours.

我把他看作你的一位朋友。

来自权威词典

二、take + 宾语 + as + n.

I’ll take that remark as a compliment.

来自《朗文词典》

I like writing, but I wouldn't take it as my career.

我喜欢写作但不愿以此为职业。

来自权威词典

The presence of dust clouds has been taken as evidence of recent star formation.

来自《朗文词典》

三、take + 宾语 + for + n.

Even the experts took it for a genuine antique.

连专家都以为它是真古董了。

来自权威词典

She had taken him for a journalist.

她把他错当成记者了。

来自柯林斯例句

Of course I won’t tell anyone! What do you take me for?

来自《朗文词典》

四、take it as agreed/read/given that...

Can I take it as agreed that we all accept the plan ?

我是否可以认为我们都一致接受了这个方案呢?

Let us take it as read that Hawkwind started quite a few trends in their time.

让我们来理解一下,霍克风在他们的时代开创了不少新潮流。

Do not ask why, just take it as given that there is unemployment.

不问所以然,只是把失业的存在作为前定条件。

五、take sth. for granted/take it for granted that...

Some people often take rumors for granted.

有些人常常对谣言信以为真。

I take it for granted that he will succeed.

我认为他会成功是理所当然的。


【总结】

1. take 的以上用法,都是接“复合宾语”。to be, as, for 后面接名词作宾补时,to be 和as 意思相同。但是,as 和for 有区别:前者“认为是”,后者“误认为是”。

2. take it as agreed that 和take it for granted that 中,it 是形式主语,that 是真实主语。as agreed和for granted都是宾补。

3. granted 看作过去分词或形容词均可,动词grant 意思是“承认;认可”。既然“认可某事是真的/对的”,稍微引申就是:“理所当然的”,这样理解网友就不必纠结了。

take sth. for granted是习语,是take sth. for being granted(现已不用)的省略演变而来。如果接从句常用形式宾语it。例如:

I take it for granted that they have arrived there already. 我还以为他们已经到那儿了。

这是惯用语,你就不要问为什么了。记住意思和用法就足够了。如果语法能很容易解释,就不是惯用语了。学习英语要能够知道哪些东西应该深究细追,哪些应该放过,了解用法即可。否则你就是在浪费时间。
