今日要学习的单词是factor in，准确地说这是个词组，factor in是一个常见的短语。单独来看“factor”作名词意为“因素、要素、因子”，作为动词就有了上述很灵活的短语：factor (something) in，意思是“将……考虑进去”。英英释义“include something as a relevant element when making a decision”，与同样意为“考虑到……”的词组“take something into account”、“take something into consideration”可以替换一下，如下例句：
①例句：In designing 'One Word A Day' and 'One Paragraph A Week', we have factored in the greatest challenges facing students.
②When housing and other living costs are factored in, a monthly salary of ￥15,000 in Beijing and Shanghai does not seem that handsome. 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。
③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）
④Students who are considered underachievers are actually overachievers once their socioeconomic statuses are factored in. 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
