3. except that 【在說明情況后，對某個具體細節加以修正，用法同except for】只是

4.given that 考慮到；鑒于

5.granted/granting that 假定

Granted that the data are reliable, what conclusion can you draw?

Granting that scientists ought to be scientific, we are still puzzled by conflicts between an ideal life of intellectual activity and the demands of a very unideal world.

注：對于granted/granting that引導的狀語從句有以下兩種看法：

(1) granted/granting that引導讓步狀語從句

①李慰萱主編的《英語連詞用法辨析》(福建教育出版社 1988年12月第1版) P 70：granted/granting (that) 從屬連詞，等于even though， even supposing that, 作“即使”，“假定”，“就算”等解，引導讓步狀語從句，表示將某事實作讓步的假說并引為議論的前提。that常可省略，例如：

Granting that this is true, how does it answer your argument?

Granting that he has enough money to buy the house, it doesn’t mean he’s going to do so.

②孟德杰主編《英語關聯詞詞典》(中國國際廣播出版社 1991年11月北京第1版) P38：granted/granting that 【邊連】【引：讓步】 假定，就算

Granted that it is so, what follow?

Granting that he has enough money to buy the house, it doesn’t mean he’s going to do so.

(2) granted/granting that既可以引導讓步狀語從句，又可以引導條件狀語從句

①趙俊英編著的《英語副詞用法•轉換形式詞典》(山東友誼出版社 1999年10月第1版) P834：granted/granting that作“假定”解時，引導條件狀語從句。例如：

Granted that it is so, what follow?

作“盡管；即使”解時，引導讓步狀語從句。例如：

Granting that he has enough money to buy the house, it doesn’t mean he’s going to do so.

Granted that you’ve made some progress, you should not be conceited.

Granting that this is true, you are still in the wrong.

②靳梅林等主編的《英語連接詞》(河北教育出版社 1989年4月第1版) P119：granted that (或granting that) 也可以引導讓步狀語從句，表示“即使”。這與它引導條件狀語從句的情況是不同的，其區別主要在句子的含義方面：在表示讓步時，主句與從句之間多含有一種對立的概念；而在表示條件時，主句與從句之間一般沒有對立的概念。試比較：

Granted that you’ve made some progress, you should not be conceited. (表示讓步)

Granted that you’ve made some progress, you should be satisfied. (表示條件)

Granting that he has enough money to buy the house, it doesn’t mean he’s going to do so. (表示讓步)

Granting that he has enough money to buy the house, he’s going to do so. (表示條件)

Granted that he was drunk, that is no excuse for his fault. (表示讓步)

Granted that he was drunk, that is an excuse for his fault. (表示條件)

Granting that this is true, you are still in the wrong. (表示讓步)

Granting that this is true, you are surely right. (表示條件)

6. in the event that 如果

孟德杰主編的《英語關聯詞詞典》(中國國際廣播出版社 1991年11月北京第1版) P82認為：in the event that 屬于復合連詞，引導條件狀從句。例如：

We want you to lead our air force in the event that we attack Pearl Harbor.

7.on condition that 【多用于主句之后】只要；如果；在……條件下

You can have this book for a few days on condition that you return it some time next week.

I will send you the articles on condition that you pay in advance.

8. only that 除……之外；只是

I have nothing against him, only that I dislike his manner.

“Is anything the matter with you?” “No, only that I have got a headache.”

9. on the supposition that 假定

On supposition that you would be unable to go, I cancelled the arrangements.

10. on/with the understanding that 以……為條件；只有

11. provided/providing that 如果；只要

13. so that 只要

14. suppose/supposing that 假設；假若
