used to admit that something is true, before saying something else about it

Granted that the story's true, there's not a lot you can do about it. 故事诚然是真实的，但你也做不了什么。

Granted, many horror films don't make sense until the ending, but they at least provide a few scares along the way. 诚然，许多恐怖片直到结局才能看明白，但至少一路观看时有一些惊吓。
