face up to正視

一句大白話的自白，把想逃離眼前生活的心情說得又重又真。

I wanna come out of all of this.

朋友深夜訴苦、說自己想換種活法時能用，別對正求助的人敷衍地說。

I wanna get out of all this. ／ I want out of all of this.

口語

come out of 連讀，重音落 come，末尾 stuff 輕輕收住。

After ten years in this job, I wanna come out of all of this. 幹這行十年了，我想從這一切裡走出來。

一個反問把個人的不安攤成所有人的通病，接著前一句分量立刻變重。

don't most people want to be somewhere else?

聊人生迷茫、聊想搬走想換城市時能用，別在別人正難過時拿來下結論。

don't we all want to be somewhere else? ／ isn't that true of most people?

中性

But then 稍停，don't most 連讀，句尾 not 上揚。

On a bad day, don't most of us want to be somewhere we are not? 心情差的時候，我們大多數人不都想去一個自己不在的地方嗎？

一句話頂回去，把點子全靠自己的幻想戳破，短促有力。

you can't do something by yourself.

爭論原創、成就歸功時能用，對還在得意的人說，別拿來潑冷水傷人。

you can't invent an idea on your own. ／ no idea comes from you alone.

中性

can't make up 連讀，重音落 idea，by yourself 輕快帶過。

You can't build a style by yourself; you borrow and change. 風格不是自己憑空造出來的，你得借鑑、再改。

把一段漫長的自我拉扯講成一句大白話：不是不想面對，是一直沒做到。

For years, I've been trying to face up to ...

對信得過的人坦白自己的長期掙扎時用；帶粗話尾巴，正式場合只用 face up to 那半句。

I've spent years trying to face who I am. ／ I've been trying to own up to it for years.

口語

For years 稍頓，face up to 連讀，and shit like that 輕快收尾。

For years, I've been trying to face up to my fear of speaking up. 這些年我一直想正視自己不敢開口的毛病。
