01.Speaking of which
說起過渡語,它的英文術語是:
Transition words/ phrases: 過渡語
而說起“說起”這個詞本身,則可以用:
Speaking of which: 說起這件事
還有這些短語,也都可以用在討論兩個相關話題的時候,起到讓人留意的效果,比 by the way 更加正式:
While we are at it: 正好說到這個話題
Since we are on that/the subject: 既然我們正好談到這件事
Since you brought that up: 既然你正好提到這個
02.With that
如果要過渡到下一個主題,或者介紹下一位發言者,可以用:
With that: 說到這里,下面......
With that, let's welcome Adam to the stage. 我就說到這里。現在我們歡迎Adam上臺。
下面這個短語則更常用于結束發言:
On that note: 說到這里
On that note, let's wrap up today's show. 說到這里,我們的節目也進入尾聲了。
03.In terms of
當你說到一個點,要展開詳述的時候,可以用:
In terms of: 從這個角度說、說到這個方面
In terms of salary and benefits, what would you be comfortable with? 說到工資和福利,你比較滿意的區間是什么?
下面這個表達有點兒類似,但是常常涉及到專業領域,或者針對某個方面:
When it comes to: 說到
When it comes to food, Diana is the most knowledgeable one. 說到吃,Diana最在行
He is a good date. But when it comes to marriage, he is just not the one. 他是個約會的好對象。但是說到結婚,他不合適。
04.In that case
想要更地道地表達“在那種情況下,你要采取何種行動/會發生什么事”,可以說:
In that case: 那樣的話
You are busy on Wednesday? In that case, let's meet on Thursday. 你周三有事?那樣的話,那我們星期四見面吧。
下面這個說法更加正式:
If that's the case: 如果是這種情況
If that's the case, there is nothing more to be said. 如果是這種情況,那我也沒什么好說的了。
05.That said
