factor作为动词意味着什么?我以为它只是用作名词。

当用作动词时, factor意味着将某物视为某物的一部分。但在这里,它被用作factor [something] in的短语,意思是在考虑或计划其他事情时包括特定的事实或情况。示例: We need to factor in the time it takes to cook the food to be ready on time. (要按时准备好食物,您必须考虑烹饪所需的时间。)示例: I didn't factor Justin in when we were getting movie tickets. (我买电影票时没有包括贾斯汀。)
