而多年之后的今天,经历了大大小小无数次演讲的我,已经很少说“啊”和“呃”这样的停顿词了,但是想想多年前的第一次经历还是会大笑不止。
Today, many years and speeches later, seldom uttering an “er” or “ah,” I can laugh while I still cringe at that long-ago memory.
说 “他啊,怎么说呢,呃……”就等于是在想尽方法阐释“他说过……”,同时减低话说出去就收不回的风险。

No, a few 'ers' and' uhs 'is actually understandable and conversational. But make sure not to make it a habit.

呃,我们又要跟他一起玩啊?
有意思,呃,啊,我们俩还都同意要一起度过下半辈子呢。
Ross: 'S'funny, um, uh, we agreed we'd spend the rest of our lives together.
