For the record比较正式的含义是:记录下来,以备后查。但是在口语里,它表达的意思并非那么正式,说话者并非真的想让别人用笔进行记录,他只是想表达:请听好了(请注意),下面我所说的事情很重要。
TheFreeDictionary对for the record的英文解释如下:Something that you say when you are about to tell someone something important that you want them to remember。
另外,根据《Speak Business English like an American》,for the record还有一层意思是:let me make my opinion clear(让我表明我的观点)。
