“It was better before you said that.”
你沒說這句之前,感覺還更好。
被誇卻反手拆臺,短句軟釘子,比翻臉更高階。
It was better before you ...
熟人開玩笑被誇得離譜時用,對上司或剛認識的人別這麼說。
It was going fine until you said that. / You were doing better before that.
口語
重音在 better,句尾 that 輕輕收住。
The evening was better before you brought up work. 你沒提工作之前,這個晚上還挺好的。
