Watch how a missed text becomes a life-or-death lecture.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“We didn't know if you were dead in a ditch! Huh?”
我们都不知道你是不是死沟里了!嗯?
家长把失联直接说到死,夸张到可笑又真着急。
didn't know if + 最坏设想
有人失联、夜不归宿,你要把担心说满时。
We thought something had happened to you. / We didn't know if you were okay.
informal
didn't know 快,ditch 往下砸,Huh 上扬。
“Or send one of those text messages you're always sending out?”
或者发一条你天天狂发的短信?
用 always sending out 把对方的习惯砸回来当证据。
send one of those X you're always sending out
责备对方明明随时能发消息却不发时。
You couldn't have texted? / A two-line update would have been enough.
informal
Or send 轻,always 加重,sending out 连过去。
“You all deserve each other.”
你们彼此真配。
四个词把一屋子人一起甩掉,干净得像摔门。
deserve each other
看两个人互相折磨、你不想再劝时。
You two are perfect for each other. / Keep each other.
informal
all 稍停,deserve 咬清,each other 下沉。
