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

今天我们学习了聊天时，怎样在离时候回到正上。

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

回到我所学到，这是一个很大外话。这简单是离万外话。

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不同颜色，描绘出一张街道地图——“既像古怪艺术品，又像小学科学项目”——这成了他离跳板。

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.

他给出了一个由两部分组成完整答案，使了一个复合句，但他不会说得太多，也不会讲更多离细节。

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.

它会帮你读者知道你要写到哪，及为什么如此，它可证你写作不离，达成你目。

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

一个任务领导者可议程是真正完成，并打断那些离人。

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，并且你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主体段落，那也会扣很多分。

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，我就知道肯定是他们作文离了。

That extra errrr or tangent, cut it.

那些多余“嗯”或者离部分，剪掉。

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

稍微有点离问，但我觉得在我们讨论背景下是有意义。

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

我将使催眠、咯吱作响、令人放松声音，无意义闲逛，多余离。

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

这实有助于平衡整个关于“Buckshee”离讨论。

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

我可占两分钟来说点稍微有点离事情吗？

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

想想在讲座中我们会岔到哪些离讨论。

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

好吧，就让这成为终结一切离离吧。

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，离太远，这只是一个行政命令。

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.

他总是会被各种离想法吸引，但现在他完全被这些想法所吸引，说着说着就会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， 这是为了给我在这一疯狂离讨论画上一个句号。
