taking everything into account:把所有因素都考虑在内;综合各方面情况来看。常用于总结、权衡利弊后给出判断或决定(偏正式书面语)。
(也常见近义表达:all things considered)
/ˈteɪkɪŋ ˈɛvrɪθɪŋ ˌɪntuː əˈkaʊnt/

Taking everything into account—cost, time, and long-term benefits—the committee approved the plan despite some risks.
把成本、时间和长期收益等都考虑在内后,委员会尽管认为有一定风险,仍批准了该计划。
该短语源自固定搭配 take ... into account(把……纳入考虑/计算),其中 account 本义与“计算、账目”相关,后来引申为“理由、解释、考虑”。taking everything into account 直译即“把一切都放进‘考虑/核算’里”。
