money's a bit tight手頭有點緊

把被誤解的委屈反手推回給對方，短句裡站住了立場。

if they can't ..., then that's their problem

有人挑你口音或說話方式時能用；對長輩或正式場合別太沖，容易顯得頂撞。

If they don't get you, that's on them. ／ That says more about them than about you.

中性

if 從句輕快，their problem 放慢重讀收尾。

If they can't follow your accent, that's their problem. 要是他們聽不懂你的口音，那是他們的問題。

被嘲口音的人反過來把口音當武器，倔強又好笑。

put on a different ... just to annoy someone

講自己故意作對的小故事時能用；對不熟的人別帶 bloody，顯得沒分寸。

I switched accents just to wind them up. ／ I played with my voice to get under their skin.

口語

bloody 輕讀帶過，annoy them 重讀點出目的。

I put on a fake posh voice just to annoy my roommate. 我故意裝出上流腔調，就為了氣我室友。

前一句說別人認不出他，這一句把答案收回自己手裡。

But I did, and that's the only one who needs to know

別人誤解你、替你下定義時能用；正式文書裡別這麼口語，適合當面回一句。

I knew, and that was enough. ／ The only person who had to know was me.

中性

But I did 重讀，後半句放平收住。

They called me shy, but I knew myself, and that was the only voice that mattered. 他們說我害羞，可我自己清楚，只有這個聲音算數。

用 wherever 和 whatever 把承諾說到無限遠，身份成了老家。

wherever you go and whatever you become, that'll always be ...

送別、鼓勵孩子或朋友時能用；對剛認識的人別說這麼重，會顯得越界。

Wherever life takes you, this stays true. ／ No matter where you end up, that never changes.

中性

wherever 和 whatever 並列上行，truth 重讀落定。

Wherever you go and whatever you become, you'll still be one of us. 不管你去哪兒、變成什麼樣，你依然是我們的自己人。
