Think of considering as putting one fact on the table before you give your opinion: 'Considering the price, the food was excellent.' You are not hiding the awkward fact — you name it, and you ask the listener to weigh your opinion against it. The fact sets the bar, and what you say is measured from there rather than from nowhere.

可以想成:你要給一句評價之前,先把一個「背景事實」擺到桌上——這台二手車開了二十年、這孩子才五歲、票這麼便宜。擺出來更多收起可以想成:你要給一句評價之前,先把一個「背景事實」擺到桌上——這台二手車開了二十年、這孩子才五歲、票這麼便宜。擺出來不是為了推翻評價,而是把評分的基準線先訂在那裡:知道了這個事實以後,你的評價就變得站得住腳。所以 considering the price, it's very good 的意思不是「它很好」,而是「用這個價錢當尺,它很好」。
