首先用英语怎么说？有哪几种说法，它们的区别在哪里？下面就由少儿英语培训部的Lucky老师为大家进行分享。
首先一种不正式的英语说法是for a start，for a start的意思是首先，相当于first 或 firstly。
例句：
Well ，for a start , it isn't Michael's house . It belongs to his parents .
恩，首先，这不是迈克尔的房子，这房子属于他父母。
You can clear up this mess ,for a start . Then you can help me with the cooking
你可以先收拾这堆乱七八糟的东西，饭后再帮我做饭。
情景模拟：
parcel for Mrs Johnson . Sign here , please .
Well, for a start . I'm not Mrs Johnson …
And , for another thing ,this isn't 33 park Road .
This is 33 park Street . I'm afraid you're in the wrong part of town .
首先除了for a start，也可以用first of all或first and foremost，那么下面就讲讲first of all与first and foremost的区别。
first of all 指首先，强调排在一切事情的前面。
例句：
First of all，I'd like to thank my parents for their love and support .
首先，我要感谢我父母给予我的关爱和支持。
Let us , first of all , stand and sing the national anthem .
首先，让我们起立唱国歌。
Tips:
有时first of all 与 first and foremost 意思相同。
例句：
This play is about family relationships first of all . It's not really about politics .
这部戏首先是关于家庭关系，与政治不太相关。
first and foremost 表示首要的是，首先。
例句：
Barbara is a journalist first and foremost . Painting is only her hobby.
芭芭拉首先是个新闻工作者，绘画只不过是她的业余爱好。
This is first and foremost a business trip , not a holiday.
这首先是出差，而不是度假。
情景模拟：
There's no sign of a break-in ,sir.
The windows were all locked and none of them have been broken .
The back door was bolted from the inside .
In that case , what we need to know first and foremost , sergeant , is how many people had a key to the front door .
