1. 认识这个词(基础篇)

词:factor in

英英释义:include something as a relevant element when making a decision

例句:In designing 'One Word A Day' and 'One Paragraph A Week', we have factored in the greatest challenges facing students.

2. 体会这个词 (进阶篇)

 “factor”作为名词表示“因素”,作动词它有一个很灵活的动词短语:factor (something) in,意思是“将......考虑进去”。 当我们想表示“考虑到...”时,我们可能会立刻想到 “take something into account” “take something into consideration”,这时候我们其实也可以用 factor something in。

来看几个例子。 在北上这样的城市月收入 1.5 万元看似是高薪,但如果考虑到租房和其他生活成本,就没那么多了。就可以说:

When housing and other living costs are factored in, a monthly salary of ¥15,000 in Beijing and Shanghai does not seem that handsome.

美国电影《萨利机长》讲了这样一个故事:一个名叫萨利的机长在飞机引擎受到鸟的撞击的情况下,沉着冷静将飞机降落在哈德逊河上,所有的乘客都成功获救。电影中,事故调查组坚持认为,虽然机长最终救了所有人的性命,但他涉嫌违规驾驶飞机。 在这个情景下,我们想表示“考虑到当时的紧急情形,机长的做法合理且明智的”这层意思时,就可以说:

 Once you factor in the specific circumstances, you will appreciate how heroic the pilot's action was. (注意当 factor something in 中的'something'较长时,我们可以把它放到后面,变成 factor in something。)

评价学生的学术表现不能只看绝对的成绩,而应该考虑到学生的社会经济条件,就可以这么说:

 Students who are considered underachievers are actually overachievers once their socioeconomic status is factored in.

3. 从认识到会用(作业)

 1)翻译下面的句子: 经验丰富的写作者总会考虑到写作目的和读者群体。

(参考翻译:Experienced writers always factor in their writing purpose and the audience. 或者 Experienced writers always factor in what they want to achieve and who the intended audience is.)

2)结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等,先想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达,然后再进行造句。

 场景:旅游

 造句: When you are working out a travel plan, budget and accomodation should be factored in.
