for that matter

for that matter
(for that matter (реже for the matter of that))
1) что касается этого, в этом отношении

‘George, my faithful feller [= fellow], how are you?’ George received this advance with a surly indifference, observing that he was well enough for the matter of that, and hammering lustily all the time. (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. XXVIII) — - Джордж, мой верный друг! Как поживаешь? Джордж выслушал это приветствие с полным равнодушием и, не переставая старательно стучать молотком, грубовато ответил, что если речь идет о нем, то жаловаться не приходится.

He's a thoroughly good fellow, trustworthy and sensible; so is Bailey, for that matter; and they both know how to hold their tongues. (E. L. Voynich, ‘The Gadfly’, part II, ch. X) — Это очень славный, разумный парень, и вообще он заслуживает полного доверия. Бейли ему в этом отношении не уступит, и оба умеют держать язык за зубами.

2) в сущности, по существу, по правде говоря

‘Why don't you let the boy alone?’ ‘Let him alone!’ said Noah. ‘Why everybody lets him alone enough, for the matter of that.’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Oliver Twist’, ch. V) — - Почему бы вам не оставить мальчика в покое? - Оставить в покое? - повторил Ной. - Да ведь все и так оставили его в покое.

3) вдобавок, к тому же, включая

The pattern of a novel is of course plain; it has a beginning, a middle and an end; and so, for the matter of that, has a well-constructed story. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Preface’) — Роман строится очень просто. У него есть начало, середина и конец, и к тому же он должен иметь хорошо продуманную сюжетную линию.

After all you, you haven't done her any harm in this instance. Nor has Tollifer, for that matter. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Stoic’, ch. 53) — В конце концов, ты не сделал Эйлин ничего дурного. Да и Толлифер тоже, коли на то пошло!
