<轉貼> That's a given. 眾所皆知的事實；理所當然
美日一句：

A: Man, I'm broke this week.
B: Why is that?
A: This new girl I started dating last week likes to eat and shop!
B: Hey, that's a given. You spend money on her before you can call her yours. Savvy?

甲：唉，我這禮拜真是一窮二白啊。
乙：怎麼回事？
甲：我上禮拜新泡的妞兒又愛吃又愛買！
乙：喂，本來就該這樣。你不在她身上花錢，你就把不到她。了解嗎？


That's a given. 眾所皆知的事實；理所當然

寨 主解：That's a given 形容的是大家都知道的事。寨主不是很喜歡以文法來教學，但這裡用文法上來說也許大家比較看得懂，"given" 是 "give" 的過去完成式，既然是被給予的，表示是事實，是理所當然的。Savvy = know; understand 知道、了解的意思，可作動詞或名詞使用。在西班牙文口語當中也用這個字的同義字問"了解了嗎？"。
