In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase, “That being said”. Sometimes we say, “With that being said”. This is a phrase we use after we’ve said something, and then we say something kind of the opposite. You might say something like this, “I don’t like drinking pop or I don’t like drinking soda, but with that being said, when I go to a party sometimes I have a can of Coke”. I could say this, “Life is really busy with five children. It’s a little crazy sometimes.. But that being said, I do really enjoy having lots of kids. It is a really fun time most of the time. 99% of the time, it’s a lot of fun”.

Enough said 说够了,无须多言。常用的情况的,陈述了一些事情后,将要开始付诸行动。

The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase, “Enough said”. This is a phrase we use when we’re done talking about something and it’s time to actually do something. When Jen and I talk about going to market, today we’re going to market. Actually for you, it’s yesterday. Sometimes we talk about what flowers we’re bringing and how we’re going to put everything in the van. But eventually we say, “Okay, enough said, let’s actually start doing the work”. So when you say, “Enough said”, it means that you’ve talked about something and you’ve talked enough, and now it’s time to actually do what you said you were going to do. Anyways, enough said, I should get on with the lesson.
