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.

他说得很慢，词与词之间都有停顿。

He talks quite slowly and spaces his words out.

《柯林斯英汉双解大词典》

这个词可以作为停顿或冒号：将一件小事渲染成充斥着滑稽模仿和揣测的短剧时，这个词用起来很方便。

It can be used as a pause or a colon: very handy for spinning out a mere anecdote into a playlet that's full of parody and speculation.
