Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Just because you wish for something doesn't make it true.”
你想要某样东西,不代表它就是真的。
用简洁的让步结构拆穿“想要就会实现”的错觉。
Just because + 从句, doesn't make + 宾语 + 形容词
反驳别人把愿望、流行或借口当成事实时。
Just because it's popular doesn't make it good. / Just because you apologized doesn't make it okay.
neutral
重读wish、make、true,doesn't make中间连紧。
“Open your eyes now, before you get hurt.”
现在睁大眼睛吧,免得你受伤。
既是劝醒对方,也是带着关心的警告,情绪很有画面。
Open your eyes before + 从句
提醒沉浸在幻想或错误判断中的朋友及时清醒。
Wake up before you miss your chance. / Look closer before you decide.
informal
Open your eyes先抬调,before后稍停,hurt落重音。
“Speak now or forever hold your peace.”
现在有异议就说,否则就永远保持沉默。
婚礼经典套话一出口,马上把仪式推向公开冲突。
Speak now or + forever + 动词短语
半开玩笑地给出最后发言机会,或正式征求异议。
Speak now or let the matter rest. / Ask now or wait until tomorrow.
formal
Speak now短促有力,forever弱读,peace低落收尾。
