英语常用词用法-151：tobeginwith
英语常用词疑难用法-151：begin（续2）
（d）to begin with同中文的“本来”意义相似。中文的“本来”，分析起来，有如下几个含义，英语的to begin with (in the first place亦同) 都大致上与之相对应：
（i）先如何，后来变了：Everything went well to begin with. 事情本来进行得好好的。(ii) 开头时就已经如何，所以后来与之相反的某事是不合理的。

但是如果是“现在本来就已经如何，再加上别的什么就更不可接受”，“本来”就更多用as it is。

(iii) 本来已经如何，何况后来更甚（或后来只不过是更进一步）。
