Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Stop! They are not monsters.”
停下!他们不是怪物。
四个词把罪名拆掉:先叫停,再改称呼,广场上最硬的一句。
Stop! They are not + 标签
有人被起哄、被贴标签时,当众替他们改口。
Don't call them that. / That's not what they are.
neutral
Stop 切断;not 和 monsters 对砸。
“I know who they are.”
我知道他们是谁。
不解释物种,先给名字。身份从怪物变回熟人。
I know who they are
有人起哄、误认、要报警时,先把人领回来。
I can tell you who that is. / These are my people.
neutral
know 加重,who they are 平稳落下。
“And I'm so proud of you, and I am so mad at you!”
我为你骄傲极了,也气坏了!
骄傲和发火并排,父母情绪最真的一句,不互相抵消。
so proud, and so mad at you
孩子冒险成功、朋友闯祸立功,又想夸又想骂时。
I'm proud and furious at once. / Love you. Still angry.
informal
proud 扬起,mad 再砸下去,and 是气口。
