过渡语

＃1.Speaking of which
Speaking of which: 正好说到这件事……
大家注意：不是speak of which, 而是speaking of which，要用动名词形式。
和它相似的短语：
While we are at it: 正好说到这个话题
On that subject: 说到这个话题
Since we are on that/the subject：既然我们正好谈到这件事
Since you brought that up：既然你正好提到这个

怎么用？
Use these when you're talking about related topics and ideas. 用在讨论两个相关话题或者想法的时候。
例句：

怎么用？

That being said：比"that said"更婉转、更正式一些
怎么用？
