3. I ate salad, soup, steak and pudding. On top of that, I drank two cups of coffee.
我吃了沙拉, 湯, 牛排和布丁, 除此之外, 我還喝了兩杯咖啡.
講到除了什么什么之外, 以前老師教我們的都是 besides, in addition to (包含的除外), 不然就是 except (不包含的除外, 詳見注1) 所以這個例句一般人的講法會是, "Besides/In addition to salad, soup steak and pudding, I drank two cups of coffee." 但除了 besides/in addition to 之外, 老美也很喜歡用 on top of that 這個片語. 而且當他們在講 on top of that 都還會特別強調加強語氣. 通常能表現出一種夸大的語氣來吸引聽者的注意. 比方說吧!. 「她的未婚夫不但有五棟房子和二部豪華轎車, 銀行里還有十億元的存款」在這里重點是最后的十億元存款, 所以句子這么造, "Her fiance has five houses and two luxury cars. On top of that, he has 1 billion dollars in the bank."
