Hello Tim
Acho sempre difícil essa expressão. Normalmente a traduzo como não fazer pouco de algo ou de alguém, estaria correto ?
Don´t take me for granted poderia ser traduzido por Não faça pouco de mim ?
Don´t = não
take me for granted = não dar valor
ficaria não não me dê valor, ou seja, não deixe de me dar valor, não faça pouco de mim…
Enrolado né ? Sobretudo quando a expressão é assim na negativa pois o take for granted já embute um conceito negativo !

Hello, Tim! Gosto dos seus podcasts e levei muito tempo para entender esta expressão, porque as vezes significa “valorizar muito alguém ou alguma coisa!” ( I shouldn´t take my wife for granted”) OU “não valorizar”. Só para ilustrar isso, eu me lembro de quando um ator ( não me lembro quem) recebeu o oscar e o segurou, dizendo “I won´t take this for granted”. Me corrija se estiver errada, mas ele quis dizer que vai levar o oscar pra casa e que valoriza muito o que ganhou e vai continuar se esforçando para ser sempre o melhor! É isso mesmo?
