speaking of which: 例如朋友在聊天中聊到這個月電話費很貴，這時你就馬上想到自己的電話費還沒有繳，在英文的口語上，我們可以說speaking of which就是當說到某事就馬上想起某事，例：I haven't played tennis quite a while, speaking of which, where is my racket??（我好久沒有打網球了，說到這個，我的球拍呢？）。它的用法和by the way一樣！還有另一個說法是speaking of the devil 真巧說曹操，曹操就到，例：We just talked about Tom had farted out loud at the class,then the bad smell forced his class to evacuate yesterday. Speaking of the devil, he pats me on the back and says : Y'all what's up? Dudes ! (我們談到Tom昨天在課堂上放了個大響屁並且把整班的同學臭到被迫撤離。這時說曹操，曹操就到，在我背後拍我一下並打招乎説: 兄弟們，你們可好？）资料来源
