在你陈述事情的时候，不能一口气说到底吧，即没有转折也没有承接，这样说的人累，听的人更累，会使人的叙述质量大大降低。今天，我们学习一下陈述中用到的过渡词。
A: ... Now, that's all I want to say about world coal reserves. So let's move on to the next topic, renewable resources. There are three things we have to consider when talking about renewable resources. First, sustainability; second, marketability; lastly, the reality factor. Let's talk about each point in more detail...John, would you like to take it from here?
B: Certainly. As my colleague just mentioned, sustainability is a major concern when examining the potential output of a resource. Of course, as you can see from the content of our presentation today, with renewable resource, there is a much larger sustainability than with non-renewable resource. As was already said, it is always better to seek a renewable source of energy when possible.
…关于世界煤炭储存量我想说的就这么多了.那我们接下来进入下一个主题,可再生资源.谈到可再生资源,我们要考虑三个事情.第一是可持续性,第二是可销售性,最后是实现因素.我们来详细讨论一下每一点…约翰,你接着说一下吧?
好的.像我们同事刚刚提到的那样,在评价一种资源的潜在产量时可持续性是主要因素.当然,你们从我们今天所作的陈述内容中也能看得出来,可再生资源比非可再生资源的可持续性要大得多.正如刚才所说的,只要有可能寻求能源的可再生资源总不是坏事.
Sustainability: 持续性;能维持性;永续性
Output: the amount of something that a person, a machine or an organization produces (人、机器、机构的)产量,输出量
Manufacturing output has increased by 8%. 工业产量增长了 8%.
Content: the subject matter of a book, speech, programme, etc. (书、讲话、节目等的)主题,主要内容
Your tone of voice is as important as the content of what you have to say. 你的讲话声调和你要讲的内容同样重要.
The content of the course depends on what the students would like to study. 课程的内容取决于学生愿意学什么.
Her poetry has a good deal of political content. 她的诗歌包含有大量的政治内容.
Move on (to sth): 改换(工作、话题等)
We've talked too much about modern literature, let's move on.
关于现代文学我们已经谈得很多了,让我们换个话题吧.
Shall we move on to the next point?
我们可以接着谈下一点吗?
Let's move on to the next topic...
那我们接着看下一个话题...
Now, that's all I want to say about...
那关于…,我想说的就是这么多.
Let's talk about each point in more detail.
我们来详细讨论一下每一点.
John, would you like to take it from here?
