the creeps毛骨悚然

把溜門撬鎖說成求學，一本正經的荒唐最見傑弗裡的性格。

There are opportunities in life for ...

想給一件出格的事找個體面理由時能套；正經場合別用。

There is always a chance in life to learn something. ／ Life offers chances to pick things up.

中性

There are 輕讀，opportunities in 連讀，句尾放平。

There are opportunities in life for learning something new. 人生中總有學點新東西的機會。

先壓住對方的慌，再遞上主意，一句話就把局面接了過來。

Just settle down. I have a plan which ...

朋友慌張、場面要失控時能用；對上司或長輩別說 Just settle down。

Calm down, I have a plan that should work. ／ Take it easy, I know how to handle this.

口語

settle down 重音在後，which I think 快讀帶過。

Just settle down, I have a plan which should work. 你先別急，我有個應該能行的辦法。

越是強調自己不像會幹的人，越顯得這事真的瘋了。

No one would think ... would be crazy enough to ...

自嘲地承認一件事很出格時用；別拿它來掩飾真的過錯。

Nobody would believe we'd be that reckless. ／ Who'd think people like us would dare?

中性

would think 弱讀，crazy enough to 連成一串。

No one would think a quiet guy like him would be crazy enough to try it. 誰也想不到他這麼個安靜的人會瘋到去試。

用 Sometimes 把冒險說成一種常識，而不是衝動，正好替下一步的越界行為鋪路。句式簡單、立場清楚，適合拿來給自己壯膽或勸人。

Sometimes it's necessary to ...

為自己的冒險決定找理由或勸人放手一搏時用，語氣理性；涉及真正危險的場合慎用，容易變成慫恿。

At times you have to take a chance. ／ Now and then you must risk something.

中性

Sometimes it's 連讀成 sometimesits，necessary 重讀，take a risk 放慢。

Sometimes it's necessary to take a risk to grow. 想成長，有時候就得冒點險。
