Well, I'm not really sure you wanna learn about my educational background,
given that I was a poor student growing up.
我看中文翻译,后半段是写: 因为我从来不是个模范生
所以given有因为的意思?
因为查字典都没有概念在

中英辞典有时候会被他的中文侷限 用英英辞典比较理想

GIVEN可以想成"给定"吗

这样ok吗 ...background ,because my background is given that I ...他应该想说他的背景show出来不好看吧以上纯属猜测0.0

"Given that" is a conjunction. It means "in consideration of the fact that"

就我所知,given that比较像if;now that才像because

vinousred: 谈数学的时候 可以有鉴于稍正式了点(除非透过声音表情知道是在做效果)"考量到" 我会这么讲 考量到我过去求学表现并不出色(而通常想了解别人求学背景应是想找正面突出的表现吧) 我猜你不会很想知道我那样的过去吧?"考量到"算是"因为"的某一种情况 后者更泛用 在这句里也更通顺 只是字典很难把所有同个单字可能的译法都列出来

感觉given that可能性比if高一点,接近"在那前提下"的感觉

以下全部节录自Garner的MAU,At the head of a statement(most commonly), given is an age-old shorthand wayof saying “assuming as a fact” or “with [the thingstated] supplied as a basis for reasoning.” If whatfollows given is a mere phrase (without a verb),given appears alone—e.g.: “Given her high position,she does have opposition.” Larry Whitham, “Episcop-alians Brace for Divisive Sessions,” Wash. Times, 13July 1997, at A4. But if a clause follows (with averb), a that should accompany given—e.g.: “Giventhat he was a medical student at Brown before turningto professional hockey, Bill McKay might be expectedto be a quick study.” Peter Barrouquere, “McKayLearns How to Wing It,” Times-Picayune (New Orleans), 26 Nov. 1997, at C3. Cf. provided.
