Today we've looked at how to get back on topic in conversations.

今天我们学习了聊天时，怎在离题的时候回到正题上。

Back to what I learned, and this is a huge digression. This is up-in-space digression.

回到我所学到的，这是一个很大的题外话。这简单是离题万里的题外话。

Mr Chivers overlays a street map with colours representing the different substrata - " half eccentric artwork, half primary-school science project" - which becomes a springboard for his digressions.

奇弗斯先生代表不同底层结构的不同颜色，描绘出一张街道地图——“既像古怪的艺术品，又像小学的科学项目”——这成了离题的跳板。

He gives a complete answer with two parts, using a compound sentence, but he doesn't overspeak and go into more details that go off-topic.

出了一个由两部分组成的完整答案，使了一个复合句，但不说得太多，也不多离题的细节。

It helps your reader see where you're going and why, and it helps you to stay focused on your plan and reaching your goal.

它帮你的读者知道你要写到哪里，以及为什么如此，它可以保证你的写作不离题，达成你的目的。

A task leader can make sure that the agenda is actually getting accomplished and cut off people that are going on tangents.

一个任务的领导者可以确保议程是真正完成的，并打断那些离题的人。

You don't want to go off topic and your answer needs to be easy to follow for the TOEFL rater.

你不能离题，并且你的答案必须让托福评委容易理解。

This is just an aside, but it's interesting.

说个离题的事 不过很有意思。

But if you've got one body paragraph that's off-topic, that's gonna be a big penalty as well.

但如果你写了一个离题的主体段落，那也扣很多分。

When I get a score report from a student and it says writing 12 points or it says independent writing 1.0, I know it's almost guaranteed they got flagged as being off-topic.

当我收到我学生的分数报告，写着十二分，或独立作文得 1.0 分，我就知道肯定是们的作文离题了。

That extra errrr or tangent, cut it.

那些多余的“嗯”或者离题的部分，剪掉。

Slightly tangential question, but I think meaningful given the context of what we're talking about.

稍微有点离题的问题，但我觉得在我们讨论的背景下是有意义的。

I'm going to use lulling, creaky, lulling soothing, creaky dulcet tones, pointless meanders, superfluous tangents.

我将使催眠的、咯吱作响的、令人放松的声音，无意义的闲逛，多余的离题。

That really helped even out the scales on the whole Buckshee digression.

这确实有助于平衡整个关于“Buckshee”的离题讨论。

Can I have a two-minute soapbox for something only tangentially related to this?

我可以占两分钟来说点稍微有点离题的事情吗？

Just imagine the tangents we'd go off on in the lectures.

想想在座中我们岔到哪些离题的讨论。

Okay, let that count as a digression to end all digressions.

好吧，就让这成为终结一切离题的离题吧。

But the president, that's another, that's, you know, too far afield, an executive order here.

但总统那边，你知道的，离题太远，这里只是一个行政命令。

He always gets sidetracked on tangents, but the way that he just sort of gets consumed by them now, he'll just be saying one thing and then he'll kind of forget completely what he's saying.

总是被各种离题的想法吸引，但现在完全被这些想法所吸引，说着说着就完全忘记自己在说什么。

And then, and I think that King kind of taps into that with Charlie a little bit, you know, to put a button on my insane tangent right here.

然后， 我认为金在某种程度上通过查理触及了这一点，你知道， 这是为了我在这一疯狂离题的讨论画上一个句号。
