The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMike jogs home into a noisy kitchen. The kids want croquet and juice; Jackie is already steering breakfast. A daughter jokes that Dad is running from something. Then a swear slips out, the child copies it, and Jackie stops her: that's a bad word. Before Mike leaves, Jackie asks whether he called Fenn about the tree that could fall on the house. It is a small domestic scene of warmth, friction, and unfinished chores.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Sweetheart, do not use words like that. That's a bad word. Okay?”
宝贝,别说那种词。那是脏话。知道了吗?
先禁止、再定性、再求确认,家长纠正脏话的完整节奏。
do not use words like that
孩子或同事爆粗口时,当场拦住并说明那是脏话。
Don't say that. / We don't use that word.
informal
Sweetheart放软,bad word加重升调。
“You do too. Stop coloring. I'm impressed you're keeping it up.”
你爱吃的。别涂了。你还能坚持,我挺佩服。
先用 You do too 软顶回去,再夸 keep it up,早餐桌上的软硬兼施。
I'm impressed + 从句
夸别人还在坚持跑步、练琴或学语言时能套。
Good for you for sticking with it. / Nice that you haven't quit.
informal
do too短促反驳,keeping轻轻连读。
“Please do. I don't want it coming down on the house.”
一定要打。我可不想它倒下来砸到房子。
Please do 把催促说得很短,再用 coming down 点出真实风险。
don't want sth coming down
催家人处理可能倒塌、掉落的东西时能套。
Please handle it today. / I don't want that falling on us.
informal
Please do降调,down落重音。
