Chinese term or phrase: 如此类推
经常在日常生活中出现的一句话, 比如说: 第一名得10分, 第二名得9分, 第三名得8分, 如此类推...
这样可以怎么翻译呢? 可以说 so on and so forth 吗?但感觉so on and so forth 的意思比较像'诸如此类'. 请大家指教.

and so on
Explanation:
再加一砖。So on and so forth也不是不行,只是要看整个上下文的语气,在较为随便或不太严肃的情况下是可以的。and so on语气较为中性。如果想表示很多很多一直这么推下去,也可以用and so on and on等等。另外,也可用“you can go on like this”之类的。总之,以整体行文自然为要。
