in their right mind頭腦正常

一句反問把吹牛和自嘲壓在同一口氣裡，越糙越像真話。

Who the hell in their right mind would ...?

有人吹出大得離譜的計劃時，用來自嘲或潑冷水，正式場合別用。

Who in their right mind would ever do that? ／ What kind of person says that out loud?

口語

重音砸在 hell 和 right，world 後稍停，引語壓低。

Who the hell in their right mind would quit a stable job for that? 哪個腦子正常的人會為那個辭掉穩定工作？

把選擇說成沒有選擇，是把自己鎖進承諾里，也逼別人跟上。

You have no other choice.

催人當場表態、不留退路時用；對朋友是打氣，對上級會顯得頂撞。

You don't get a say in this. ／ There's no other way.

口語

gotta 輕彈，choice 重讀，句尾往下沉。

You have to be in the van by six; you have no other choice. 你六點前必須上車，沒得商量。

兩個 more 並排，把兩種電影觀的差別一句說穿，乾淨。

One's more X and one's more Y.

對比兩種人、兩種做法時套用，語氣中立，正式討論也能用。

one's gut, one's by the book ／ one's instinct, one's theory

中性

兩個 more 都重讀，and 一帶而過。

One's more hands-on and one's more about planning. 一個更愛動手，一個更愛做計劃。

把尋常分錢說成高層談判，一本正經的誇張正是馬克的魅力。

Now we're gonna talk about ...

宣佈進入正題時用，適合熟人之間，正式會議少用。

now we get to the real business ／ let's get down to it

口語

gonna 連讀成 gunna，high-level 中間不斷開。

Now we're gonna talk about who washes the dishes. 現在我們來談談誰洗碗。
