I''ve got a very interesting English lesson for you today.
今天我有一节非常有趣的英语课要和大家分享。
I'm going to teach you seven extremely common English linking words plus their professional equivalents.
我将教你七个非常常见的英语连接词，以及它们的专业对应表达方式。
So linking words are words that link ideas together as you speak and you write so it's a really useful skill to have.
因此，连接词就是那些在说话或写作时用来将不同观点联系在一起的词语。掌握这种技能是非常有用的。
They are useful words to know.
这些都是值得掌握的、非常有用的词汇。
But in this lesson we're going to practise the casual, everyday conversational linking words
但在这一课中，我们将练习那些用于日常非正式对话中的连接词。
alongside the more formal alternatives that will make you sound more professional when you're linking ideas together in English.
除了那些更为正式的表达方式之外，这些非正式的表达也能让你在用英语将各种观点联系起来时显得更加专业。
You probably know already that spoken English is generally more casual whereas written English is more formal.
你可能已经知道：口语英语通常比较随意，而书面英语则更加正式。
And it's important to understand the formal and the informal uses of language.
理解语言的正式用法和非正式用法是非常重要的。
When you use formal language while you're
当你在……的时候使用正式语言时
speaking in just a regular everyday conversation, there is a danger that you'll sound a bit stiff and a bit serious.
在日常的对话中，如果你说话过于正式或过于严肃，就有可能让人觉得你显得有些生硬、不自然。
And if you use the casual, informal
如果你使用非正式、随意的表达方式……
versions in a professional context, well that's okay but you just might not sound as convincing or as professional as you want to.
在专业场合使用某些表达方式或版本确实没问题，但这样做可能会让你听起来不够有说服力，也不够专业（即达不到你期望的“专业”效果）。
