- <p>The word <a href="%E5%86%8D" title="wikilink">再 (zài)</a> actually has a lot of uses, beyond just <a href="Again_in_the_future_with_"zai"" title="wikilink">"again."</a> "<span class="hanzi">先⋯⋯， 再⋯⋯</span>" (<span class="pinyin">xiān..., zài...</span>) is a pattern used for sequencing events, much like "<b>First..., then...</b>" in English. This pattern can also include "<span class="hanzi">然后</span>" (<span class="pinyin">ránhòu</span>) meaning "<b>and after that</b>."</p>

- <li><span class="hanzi">我 喜欢 先 洗澡，再 睡觉。</span> <span class="pinyin">Wǒ xǐhuan xiān xǐzǎo, zài shuìjiào.</span><br/><span> I prefer to take a bath before I go to bed.</span></li>

- <h2 id="using-先-with-再说">Using <span class="hanzist">先</span> with <span class="hanzist">再说</span></h2>
- <p>You may have learned that <a href=""In_addition"_with_"zaishuo"" title="wikilink">"再说" can mean "in addition."</a> Well, this usage of <span class="hanzi">再</span> is a more literal combination of <span class="hanzi">再说</span>, fitting into the <span class="hanzi">先⋯⋯再⋯⋯</span> pattern.</p>
- <p>So in this usage, <span class="hanzi">再说</span> doesn't really mean "<b>in addition</b>." Rather, it most literally means "<b>and then we'll talk.</b>" In other words, "<b>let's just do this now,</b>" and then after we see the result, we can talk some more about next steps. There's kind of a "<b>let's see how this goes first</b>" feeling to the expression.</p>

- <p><span style="color: rgb(139, 0, 0); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 22px;">当描述一系列前后关联的行为步骤或事件发生的过程时，你需要用到更丰富的连词。"然后"是最常用的，表示"</span>and then"；<span class="hanzi">"接着"作为连词表示"</span>next, afterwards"<span style="color: rgb(139, 0, 0); font-family: NotoSansCJKsc; font-size: 22px;">。跟"然后"比，"接着"还可以作为副词，表示"动作的继续"，如"接着做，接着说"。</span></p>
- <p>A great example to help you understand this:</p>
- <div class="exemple">
- <ul>
- <li><span class="hanzi">今 早 我 起床 以后 先 准备 早饭，再 叫 孩子们 起床，接着 我们 一起 吃早饭，然后 我 送 他们 去 学校 。</span><span class="pinyin">Jīn zǎo wǒ qǐchuáng yǐhòu xiān zhǔnbèi zǎofàn, zài jiào háizi men qǐchuáng, jiēzhe wǒmen yīqǐ chī zǎofàn, ránhòu wǒ sòng tāmen qù xuéxiào.</span><br/><span>After I got up this morning, I first prepared breakfast, and then I woke up the kids. Afterwards, we ate breakfast together. After that, I took them to school.</span></li>
