but you used a good phrase there – it comes with the territory.
不过你用了一个很棒的表达方式——“理所当然”。
Yes.
对。
When something comes or goes with the territory it means it's something that is expected as part of the position or situation.
当某件事情发生或者进行地“理所当然”的时候，就是说某件事是由某种情况所引起的，是可预见的。
Let's hear some examples…
让我们听几个例子吧……

不过我想这也是在所难免的。

injuries go with the territory!

So the expression it comes with the territory means something is to be expected as part of a certain situation.
所以“在所难免”这个表达方式的意思是说，某件事的发生是由一个特定的情况所引起的。
Let's face it Neil, perhaps it's a good thing that we're not famous.
让我们面对现实吧尼尔，我们不是名人，这可能是件好事。
