accidentally on purpose半故意半偶然

三個否定層層加碼，把對方的退路一條條堵死。

you never ..., you never even ..., you understand?

交代別人嚴守秘密時說，語氣重，對親近的人用，別在正式場合說。

you never saw it, you never heard it ／ not a word, not a trace

中性

三處 never 都重讀，句尾 you understand 壓低。

You never saw this file, you never even opened it, got it? 你從沒見過這份檔案，連開啟都沒開啟，明白嗎？

先退半步又立刻收回，把不擇手段裡的那條底線畫出來。

There are other ways. We're not gonna ...

拒絕走捷徑時說，表明只認一條路，朋友之間用，正式場合少用。

there are other ways, but not for us ／ we could, but we won't

口語

other ways 兩處都重讀，gonna 輕輕帶過。

There are other ways. We're not gonna cut the corners. 還有別的辦法。可捷徑我們不走。

把思念說成一堵牆，不能見面的苦一下有了形狀。

It's like a wall between us.

表達被隔開、說不上的疏遠時用，對親密的人說，別拿去指責同事。

there's a wall between us ／ it feels like a wall between us

中性

so tough 稍重，like a 連讀，wall 後停頓。

We talk every night, but it's like a wall between us. 我們每晚都聊，可中間還是像隔著一堵牆。

兩句都短，卻一句推事、一句洩底，把同夥的耐心和恐懼同時說出來。

I can't go on like this

撐不住催人改變時用，適合親近的人之間，對同事或場合嚴肅時不要這樣說。

I can't live like this. ／ I'm not holding on much longer.

口語

can't wait 連讀，go on like this 一句收住。

We can't wait. I can't go on like this. 不能再等了。我這樣下去不行。
