易混词辨析
grant、given、take for granted、granted vs granted
1. granted:动词 grant 的过去式 / 过去分词(如 The request was granted 请求被批准了)、连词 “诚然;固然”(如 Granted, he is young, but he is capable 诚然,他年轻,但有能力)、短语 “take for granted” 中 “granted” 是过去分词(如 take sth for granted 认为某事理所当然);
2. 与 grant(动词 “同意;授予”/ 名词 “拨款;授予物”,如 grant a request 批准请求;grant sb a degree 授予某人学位;government grant 政府拨款)混淆词性 ——grant 是动词 / 名词,granted 是分词 / 连词(不可说 “grant, he is young”,应为 “granted, he is young”);
3. 与 given(连词 “考虑到”,如 given his age, he did well 考虑到他的年龄,他做得很好)区别:granted 是 “承认事实”,given 是 “考虑条件”(granted he is busy 诚然他很忙,given he is busy 考虑到他很忙);
4. 短语 “take for granted” 易错点:① 漏 “for”(take sth granted 错误);② 被动语态 “sth is taken for granted”(某事被认为理所当然);
5. 常见错误:granted 作连词时需小写且置于句首(Granted, ... 正确,GRANTED, ... 错误)。
