to the moon爽上天

把死亡寫成上門查名單的辦事員，冷靜得叫人發笑。

I'm ..., and your name is on my list.

黑色幽默裡自報身份時能用；對剛失去親人的人說會失禮。

I'm the grim reaper, and you're on the list. ／ Your number came up, and I'm here to collect.

中性

I'm death 後停頓，your name is on my list 一氣唸完。

I'm your landlord, and your name is on my list of late payers. 我是你房東，你的名字在我那份欠租名單上。

雙重否定繞了一圈，把難以啟齒的慾望說得又誠實又滑稽。

I never ... that I don't ...

坦白某種改不掉的習慣時能用；對同事或長輩說太露骨。

I can't see a woman without wondering about her. ／ Every woman I pass, I wonder the same thing.

口語

The truth is 輕快帶過，never...that I don't 中間換氣。

I never open my phone that I don't check the same app. 我一拿起手機，就忍不住點開同一個應用。

一句歪理給嫖娼開脫，邏輯荒唐，語氣卻像在講道理。

you don't ... the way you do ...

為明顯站不住腳的事狡辯時能用；正經解釋別學這套。

It's different with a stranger than with your wife. ／ You don't care about a hired girl the way you care about family.

口語

See 起頭拉長，the way you do 重音落在 do。

You don't treat a rental car the way you do your own. 你對租來的車，跟對自己的車完全不是一個態度。

把交易說得像關燈一樣利落，錢一齣手，人就不算人了。

You lay ... on her, and she's history.

半開玩笑地說花錢了事、過後不認人時能用；拿人當物件說會顯得涼薄。

You slip her some cash and she's gone. ／ Pay up and she's out of your life.

口語

half a c-note 一口氣帶過，she's history 短促收尾。

You hand over the fee and the whole favor is history. 錢一付，這份人情就算清了。
