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(shí)可能只差了一些過渡語。當(dāng)然，過渡語只會(huì)用by the way也遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。快和Jenny、Adam學(xué)習(xí)更高級(jí)的過渡語吧!

關(guān)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(dòng)名詞形式。

和它相似的短語：

While we are at it: 正好說到這個(gè)話題

On that subject: 說到這個(gè)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(gè)

怎么用?

Use these when you're talking about related topics and ideas. 用在討論兩個(gè)相關(guān)話題或者想法的時(shí)候。

例句：

A: We are running tight on time: 我們時(shí)間有點(diǎn)緊

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

#2.With that

這個(gè)過渡語，演講時(shí)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(shí)候, 如果要過渡到下一個(gè)主題，或者介紹下一位發(fā)言者

When you're wrapping things up: 做總結(jié)的時(shí)候

例句：

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

On that note, let's wrap up today's show: 說到這里，我們的節(jié)目也進(jìn)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(gè)角度說、說到這個(gè)方面

和它相似的短語：

When it comes to: 說到

不過這兩個(gè)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(shí)候很常用

When it comes to經(jīng)常涉及到技能、知識(shí)

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

He is a good date. But when it comes to marriage, he is just not the one. 他是個(gè)約會(huì)的好對(duì)象。但是說到結(jié)婚，他不合適。

#4.In that case

In that case: 既然如此

It's very colloquial：非?？谡Z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(gè)短語，是轉(zhuǎn)折：

That said: 不過，但是

和它相似的短語：

That being said：比"that said"更婉轉(zhuǎn)、更正式一些

怎么用?

I love his movies. That said, I didn't really like the newest one. 我喜歡他的電影，但我不太喜歡他最新的那部。

今天的過渡語就說到這兒。

最后用幾句Jenny的教學(xué)理念話給大家再總結(jié)一下學(xué)習(xí)重點(diǎn)：

These transition phrases are extremely useful: 這些過渡語真的很有用

That said, you can't rely on shortcuts when it comes to learning English: 盡管如此，說到學(xué)英語，不能依賴捷徑

Make learning part of your daily life, learn and use something new everyday: 學(xué)英語要融入生活，每天學(xué)一點(diǎn)、每天用一點(diǎn)
