“She was asking about you earlier, Rick, in a way that made me extremely jealous.”
裡克,她剛才還問起你,那口氣讓我嫉妒得不行。
把吃醋藏進一句客套的轉述裡,越平靜越藏不住。
in a way that made me + 情緒 ——「……得讓我……」
想半開玩笑地表白吃醋或在意時能用;對剛認識的人和正式場合別說,會顯得越界。
She asked about you in a way that gave me away. / The way she mentioned you made me jealous.
中性
重讀 jealous,前半句放平,反差才出得來。
He mentioned you in a way that made me suspicious. 他提起你的那口氣,讓我起了疑心。
