PART III - The Lesson
USING CONNECTIVES IN CONVERSATION
怎樣在談話中使用起連接作用的詞語
下列詞語在會話中可以起連接作用。這些詞語有助于談話順利進行。有的可以用來填補空當(dāng)兒，有的可以用來進一步說明意思。
IN FACT
為了加強前面一句話，可以用in fact引出一句話，對有關(guān)話題進一步提供情況。in fact引出的這句話往往更為具體生動。
I had to take my son to soccer practice.
In fact ,we went to the Grand Final as well.
I bought some rice.
In fact, I bought four kilos.
MIND YOU
用來引出一句話，對前面一句話加以限制，以免造成誤解，或引起爭論。
One day o soccer's enough for me.
Mind you, I always enjoy it.
BY THE WAY (參看第8講)
用來引出新的話題。有時可以與前面一句話相關(guān)聯(lián)（見下面第一個例子），有時只表示“順便提到一件事”，和前面的話并不相干（見下面第二個例子）。
1)Everyong likes Brett Watson.
By the way ,he's just writen a book about soccer.
2)A:Wasn't the weather great yesterday?
B:Yes, it certainly was.
A:Oh, by the way ,did you see that Chinese film last night?
I MEAN(參看第22講)
如果你覺得沒有把意思說清楚，就可以用這個短語引出一句話，補充新的內(nèi)容，加以說明。
I don't think I'll sit with you two on Mondays.I mean ,allI hear is soccer,soccer, soccer!
I MUST SAY
這個短語可以使對方注意下面的話是比較強調(diào)的。
Well,I must say the Grand Final was exciting.
YOU KNOW(參看第1講)
這個短語可以使說話人略有停頓，以便考慮下面的話怎樣說。
My boy thinks Watson is... er...you know... marvellous.
