说起来

shuō qǐ lái zán men hái shi lǎo tóng xué

说起来咱们还是老同学。

As a matter of fact, we are schoolmates.

wǒ huì bǎ zěn me dào dá zhè lǐ de dì tú fā gěi nǐ zhè shuō qǐ lái yǒu diǎn fù zá

我会把怎么到达这里的地图发给你，这说起来有点复杂。

I'll send you map of how to get here. It's a bit too complicated to describe.

zhè huà shuō qǐ lái yǒu diǎn lǎo tào bù guò liáng hǎo de gōu tōng néng lì dí què shì chéng gōng de guān jiàn yīn sù

这话说起来有点老套，不过良好的沟通能力的确是成功的关键因素。

It’s a bit of a cliché, but good communication skills are the key to success.
