(1) take...for granted是一个很常见的句型，意思为“视为当然”，“想当然”，“想必是”，“信以为真”，“认为没有问题”，心为及物动词，其后可跟名词、代词、从句等作宾语，for granted这个介词短语一般被视为宾语的补足语。如：

    ①She took my help for granted．

    ②Don't take it/everything/things for granted．

    ③He observed things carefully and never took anything for granted．

    ▲当该句型中take后的宾语是一个句子时，一船都应当用形式宾语it来代替，而把真正的宾语从句放在补语for granted之后。如：

    ①Tom took it for granted that his parents would stay with him．

    ②He spoke English so well that I took it for granted that he was an Englishman.

    ▲当What引导的句子用于take...for granted句型时，不能用形式宾语it，不过为了保持句子的平衡，可以把what从句放在for granted之后。如：

    Tom took for granted what his parents for him．

    分析：上述含what从句的句子为何不能用形式宾语it呢?因为这里的what为关系代词型what，若将其分解一下，便成了the thing that...，实际上该句相当于名词，后跟一个定语从句，所以不能用it。

    (2)take sb．／sth．for…意思相当于take sb／sth．to be…，常译为“(把…’)错当做。…”，“(误)认为”，“以为是…”。如：

    ①Don take me for a fool．

    ②what did you us for?

    (3)take.....for example/for instance“以……为例”。如：

    But not all body language means the same thing in different countries.Take nodding    the head for example．In some Asian countries it means not“yea”，but“no”.(4)take some money for sth．“接受……价钱而出售(卖出)·…”，“以……价钱卖掉”，相当于的sell sth.for some money。如：

    ①Will you take $5,000，for the car?你愿意以5000美元的价格卖掉达辆车吗?

    请比较：I'll take the car for $5,000.(我愿出5000美元买下这辆车。)此句相当于I'll pay $5,000 for the car。
