再说 zàishuō to say again
to say again; to put off a discussion until later; moreover; what's more; besides
怎么记住“再说”: 再 again + 说 say = to say again.
汉字
用法
- As a connector at the start of a clause, "besides, moreover" - 再说，现在也太晚了 (zàishuō, xiànzài yě tài wǎn le) besides, it's too late now - adds a further, often clinching, reason.
- As a plain verb phrase it means "to talk about it later/put it off" - 这事儿再说吧 (zhè shìr zàishuō ba) let's talk about that later - a very common way to postpone a decision.
- Different from 而且 (érqiě) "moreover", which adds a parallel point without the "let's deal with that later" postponing nuance.
例句
- 我不会再说了。 Wǒ búhuì zàishuō le.I won't say it again.
- 你回来的时候我们再说。 Nǐ huílái de shíhòu wǒmen zàishuō.We can talk when you get back.
- 请你再说一遍。 Qǐng nǐ zài shuō yí biàn.Can you please say it again.
