the phrase 他这么说 needs more context to pinpoint the meaning. It can mean 'He said it this way" or "he said this"

<p>这么说，followed by a sentence, means it is a hypothesis but if what you said is right, this hypothesis should be correct with a very high possibility.</p>

<p>这么说 = 如果你说的是对的，那么......</p>

<pre><code>A:她未婚夫不愿意让她工作了。
B:如果你说的是对的，那么结婚以后她就不工作了。
A:对。

A:非常遗憾，他的父母都死于这次车祸了。
B:这么说（如果你说的是对的，那么）他就是个孤儿了。
A:对。

A:他去美国了工作了。（he has been in the US and worked there）
B:这么说，他的英语一定说得很好。（If what you said is true, (I guess) his English must be good enough）
A:不，他的英语并不好，不过他是去做中文老师，所以我猜他应该没问题。(No, ...)

这么说 is probably like "that is to say" in English. It can be taken as the omission of 照你这么说 -- according to what you have told me/(you have said).

> *(1) What is the meaning of 这么说 in this conversation?*

'这么' means 'so/ this way/ like this'

'这么**说**' means '**saying** so' = "**according to** so" (with this reason) in this context.

You can simply use 'accordingly' , 'consequently', 'therefore' or 'so' instead

E.g. "So, after she got married, she stopped working"

> (2) *In addition, does 这么说 have any other meanings? Can you give me some examples?*

这么说 literally means "say /said /saying so" and you can use it literally. e.g. "他这么说" (he said so); 人們是這麼說的 (people are saying so)
