But this is why the Games are held - to show you that life isn’t exactly a bowl with cherries.

Is it safe to say that here, так ведь at the beginning is like an exclamatory “Well, (don’t you see,)…”

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 3 years ago

Since так ведь and “well, (don’t you see,)…” are both exclamatory, I’d think it is.
