在英文中，"control the topic" 或 "steer the conversation" 都可以用来表示控制话题的
意思。这两个短语都源自于操作车辆的术语，即控制车辆的方向或路线。在谈话中，这些术语被用来比喻控制谈话的方向或内容。
例如：
"I noticed that he kept trying to control the topic of the conversation and steer it away from anything personal." (我注意到他总是试图控制谈话的话题，并将其从任何个人问题中转移开来。)
"She's very skilled at controlpng the topic of a conversation and keeping it focused on what she wants to talk about." (她非常善于控制谈话的话题，并使其专注于她想要谈论的内容。)
其他表示同样
意思的短语还有："set the agenda for the conversation" (为谈话设定议程) 和 "dominate the conversation" (控制谈话)。
例如：
"She always seems to set the agenda for the conversation, and it can be difficult to steer it in a different direction." (她似乎总是为谈话设定议程，很难将其转向不同的方向。)
"He tends to dominate the conversation, talking over others and not giving them a chance to speak." (他倾向于控制谈话，在别人说话时打断他们，不给他们机会发言。)
