PART III - The Lesson
USING CONNECTIVES IN CONVERSATION
怎样在谈话中使用起连接作用的词语
下列词语在会话中可以起连接作用。这些词语有助于谈话顺利进行。有的可以用来填补空当儿，有的可以用来进一步说明意思。
IN FACT
为了加强前面一句话，可以用in fact引出一句话，对有关话题进一步提供情况。in fact引出的这句话往往更为具体生动。
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
用来引出一句话，对前面一句话加以限制，以免造成误解，或引起争论。
One day o soccer's enough for me.
Mind you, I always enjoy it.
BY THE WAY (参看第8讲)
用来引出新的话题。有时可以与前面一句话相关联（见下面第一个例子），有时只表示“顺便提到一件事”，和前面的话并不相干（见下面第二个例子）。
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(参看第22讲)
如果你觉得没有把意思说清楚，就可以用这个短语引出一句话，补充新的内容，加以说明。
I don't think I'll sit with you two on Mondays.I mean ,allI hear is soccer,soccer, soccer!
I MUST SAY
这个短语可以使对方注意下面的话是比较强调的。
Well,I must say the Grand Final was exciting.
YOU KNOW(参看第1讲)
这个短语可以使说话人略有停顿，以便考虑下面的话怎样说。
My boy thinks Watson is... er...you know... marvellous.
