關於“說”，除了say, 都有哪些精準的表達？

Communication is an essential part of our daily lives. We ourselves communicate, and others communicate to us through words, but also through gestures, facial expressions, body language, writings, texts, media, etc.

溝通是我們日常生活中必不可少的一部分。我們和自己交流，其他人通過語言和我們交流，也通過手勢、面部表情、肢體語言、文字、文本、媒體等方式。

Especially today, in an age of technology and instant communication, more than ever people are sharing what they think and saying what they want when they want with the most liberty.

尤其是今天，在科技和即時通訊的時代，人們比以往任何時候都更願意分享他們的想法，在他們最自由的時候說出他們想要的話。

It’s understandable why you would look for synonyms, or other ways of saying, the word “said”, or “says”. “Said” is the past-tense of “says”. So, we would use it if we are recalling or repeating something someone said at a previous time.

你爲什麼要找同義詞，或者其他的表達方式，來表達“說”，比如“said”或“say”。這是可以理解的。“said”是“says”的過去式。所以，如果我們在回憶或重複別人以前說過的話，我們會使用它。

For example:

例如：

“My doctor said my health has been improving over the last few weeks.”

“我的醫生說過去幾周我的健康一直在改善。”

To use “said”, means someone was speaking, or talking. Of course, we know there are various ways of speaking, right?

使用“said”表示某人過去在說話或談話。當然，我們知道有很多種說話的方式，對吧？

We could SHOUT! We could whisper… We could speak, loud, low, fast, slow, carefully, carelessly, angrily, lovingly, and the list goes on, and there is a way of describing each and every type of manner spoken.

我們可以大喊！我們可以低聲說話……我們可以大聲、低沉、快速、緩慢、小心、隨性、憤怒、充滿愛意地說話，我們還能列出一系列情境，描述每種說話方式有不同方法。

“Said” is more general. It means the words were spoken or declared. Below are a few synonyms you could use for “said” as well as examples of how you can add some descriptors.

“Said”更普遍些。這意味着這些話被說出或被宣佈。下面是一些可以用於“said”的同義詞，以及如何添加一些描述性的示例。

雖然大多數時候唱歌都是在有背景音樂的情況下下進行的，但並不總是這樣。如果涉及到歌曲或曲調，可以使用sang。然而，它也可以幫助表達演講者的情感。如果有人在哼唱，這意味着他們非常興奮。

By including words that someone actually said, you can allow the reader or listener to better understand what that person meant.

當你寫一個故事時，不管是小說還是非小說，你可能會引用很多的話。當你寫下某人所說的確切單詞時，引語是直接的。通過引用某人實際說的話，你可以讓讀者或聽衆更好地理解此人的意思。

問題是，使用相同的詞會很快變得無聊。如果你只把這個人描述成“說”某件事，那麼當他們說的時候，這個詞就不能表達他們的情感。

在英語中，這種上下文可能非常重要。與其說有人簡單地說出來，他們可能會大聲喊出來，低聲說出來，質疑它，或者詢問它。這可以讓你瞭解他們的感受，以及當他們討論某件事時意思是什麼。
