✔ 最佳答案
我都認為 cmcangel65 講得好啱, "as far as that goes" 必定有前言, 仲會有後語。在前言和後語之間, "as far as that goes" 就係一句「引言」, 承接「前言」, 而引出「後語」。
as far as that goes 解「就此而論」或 「事實上」

1) As far as that goes, Bill doesn't understand it.
就此而論, 亞 Bill根本不明白此事(亦可能係一D道理)。在這句中, 前言係無顯示出黎, 而只得後語 "Bill doesn't understand it"
2) My husband has never gotten along with Henry, and so far as that goes, Henry doesn't like him either.
我丈夫一向跟 Henry 都合不來, 而就此而盡, Henry 亦不甚喜歡他。

這種的用法係, 說話者根據前言而作出最有可能的判斷 (即後語)。
as far as that goes = based on this (基於此點) in other words (換言之)
