美國文化脫口秀 第460期:這些過渡語讓你英語更流利

英語說的不夠順暢，有時可能只差了一些過渡語。當然，過渡語只會用by the way也遠遠不夠?？旌蚃enny、Adam學習更高級的過渡語吧!

關鍵詞：

Transition phrases

過渡語

#1.Speaking of which

Speaking of which: 正好說到這件事……

大家注意：不是speak of which, 而是speaking of which，要用動名詞形式。

和它相似的短語：

While we are at it: 正好說到這個話題

On that subject: 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

怎么用?

Use these when you're talking about related topics and ideas. 用在討論兩個相關話題或者想法的時候。

例句：

A: We are running tight on time: 我們時間有點緊

B: Speaking of which, let's get our meeting started: 既然如此，那我們趕快開始會議吧

#2.With that

這個過渡語，演講時很有用!

With that/with that said: 說到這里，下面......

和它相似的短語：

On that note

怎么用?

When you're giving a speech, if you'd like to introduce the next segment or next speaker: 演講的時候, 如果要過渡到下一個主題，或者介紹下一位發(fā)言者

When you're wrapping things up: 做總結的時候

例句：

With that, let's welcome Adam to the stage. 我就說到這里?，F(xiàn)在我們歡迎Adam上臺。

On that note, let's wrap up today's show: 說到這里，我們的節(jié)目也進入尾聲了。

這些過渡語讓你英語更流利

#3.In terms of

In terms of: 從這個角度說、說到這個方面

和它相似的短語：

When it comes to: 說到

不過這兩個短語有些區(qū)別：

In terms of經(jīng)常用于工作中，談工資、談合同的時候很常用

When it comes to經(jīng)常涉及到技能、知識

怎么用?

例句：

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(qū)間是什么?

When it comes to food, Diana is the most knowledgeable one. 說到吃，Diana最在行

#4.In that case

In that case: 既然如此

It's very colloquial：非常口語化的說法

意思相似，但更正式的短語：

If that's the case

怎么用?

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。

#5.That said

最后這個短語，是轉折：

That said: 不過，但是

和它相似的短語：

That being said：比"that said"更婉轉、更正式一些

怎么用?
