3. I ate salad, soup, steak and pudding. On top of that, I drank two cups of coffee. 我吃了沙拉, 汤, 牛排和布丁, 除此之外, 我还喝了两杯咖啡.
讲到除了什么什么之外, 以前老师教我们的都是 besides, in addition to (包含的除外), 不然就是 except (不包含的除外, 详见注1) 所以这个例句一般人的讲法会是, "Besides/In addition to salad, soup steak and pudding, I drank two cups of coffee." 但除了 besides/in addition to 之外, 老美也很喜欢用 on top of that 这个片语. 而且当他们在讲 on top of that 都还会特别强调加强语气. 通常能表现出一种夸大的语气来吸引听者的注意. 比方说吧!. 「她的未婚夫不但有五栋房子和二部豪华轿车, 银行里还有十亿元的存款」在这里重点是最后的十亿元存款, 所以句子这么造, "Her fiance has five houses and two luxury cars. On top of that, he has 1 billion dollars in the bank."
