“Good old Sweeney. He never stops trying.”
好樣的斯威尼。他可真是不厭其煩。
明褒實貶的反諷,一句親切招呼後面緊跟一句挖苦,殺傷力很足。
Good old X. He never stops ...
要用反話挖苦一個熟悉的人時用;真心感謝的場合別這麼陰陽。
Dear old Sweeney, always there to help himself. / Trust Sweeney to keep pushing.
口語
Good old 輕快帶過,never stops 重讀。
Good old Tom. He never stops volunteering me. 好樣的湯姆。他總是不忘把我搭進去。
