- 1rB2/ədˈmɪtɪdli/不可否認；的確
You say admittedly when you accept that something is true, even though it does not help what you are saying, and then you usually go on with but or though to the point you really want to make.
示範例句 · Example
Admittedly, I handed in my report a day late, but I did all the extra reading.
逐字不可否認，我晚了一天交我的報告，但是我做了所有額外的閱讀。
「admittedly」是說話的人先自己承認「對，這件事是真的」，而且承認的常常是一件對自己不太有利的事，接著再用 but 或 though 把真正想講的重點帶出來，所以中文常說成「不可否認」「的確」。它修飾的是整句話，不是某個動作，所以位置很自由：Admittedly, ...（句首）、夾在句子中間、或 ..., admittedly（句尾），前後都要加逗號。可以想成：它就像從 admit（承認）長出來的一個小動作——把對方等一下會拿來反駁你的那一點，自己先講出口，後面的話反而更站得住腳。
