Communication is an essential part of our daily lives. We ourselves communicate, and others communicate to us through words, but also through gestures, facial expressions, body language, writings, texts, media, etc.
沟通是我们日常生活中必不可少的一部分。我们和自己交流，其他人通过语言和我们交流，也通过手势、面部表情、肢体语言、文字、文本、媒体等方式。

Especially today, in an age of technology and instant communication, more than ever people are sharing what they think and saying what they want when they want with the most liberty.
尤其是今天，在科技和即时通讯的时代，人们比以往任何时候都更愿意分享他们的想法，在他们最自由的时候说出他们想要的话。

It’s understandable why you would look for synonyms, or other ways of saying, the word “said”, or “says”. “Said” is the past-tense of “says”. So, we would use it if we are recalling or repeating something someone said at a previous time.
你为什么要找同义词，或者其他的表达方式，来表达“说”，比如“said”或“say”。这是可以理解的。“said”是“says”的过去式。所以，如果我们在回忆或重复别人以前说过的话，我们会使用它。

For example:
例如：

“My doctor said my health has been improving over the last few weeks.”
“我的医生说过去几周我的健康一直在改善。”

To use “said”, means someone was speaking, or talking. Of course, we know there are various ways of speaking, right?
使用“said”表示某人过去在说话或谈话。当然，我们知道有很多种说话的方式，对吧？

We could SHOUT! We could whisper… We could speak, loud, low, fast, slow, carefully, carelessly, angrily, lovingly, and the list goes on, and there is a way of describing each and every type of manner spoken.
我们可以大喊！我们可以低声说话……我们可以大声、低沉、快速、缓慢、小心、随性、愤怒、充满爱意地说话，我们还能列出一系列情境，描述每种说话方式有不同方法。

“Said” is more general. It means the words were spoken or declared. Below are a few synonyms you could use for “said” as well as examples of how you can add some descriptors.
“Said”更普遍些。这意味着这些话被说出或被宣布。下面是一些可以用于“said”的同义词，以及如何添加一些描述性的示例。

当你写一个故事时，不管是小说还是非小说，你可能会引用很多的话。当你写下某人所说的确切单词时，引语是直接的。通过引用某人实际说的话，你可以让读者或听众更好地理解此人的意思。

在英语中，这种上下文可能非常重要。与其说有人简单地说出来，他们可能会大声喊出来，低声说出来，质疑它，或者询问它。这可以让你了解他们的感受，以及当他们讨论某件事时意思是什么。
