in a way某種程度上

用 was made for 給一座房子派了使命：不為經營，只為歡笑，短句裡藏著這家人的價值觀。

This place was made for X and Y.

想誇某處天生就是用來享受的時候用，抒情、適合髮圈，正式場合少用。

否定疑問句把邀請說得更熱切，we're alive 把話落回最樸素的事實：活著本身。

想把對方拉進自己此刻的感激情緒時用，口語、帶催促，對長輩慎用。

Aren't you glad we're still here? ／ Doesn't it make you thankful just to be alive?

口語

Don't you 連讀，feel grateful 停頓，we're alive 放慢上揚。

In a way 先卸下絕對，never love again 又亮出傷口；剋制的一句反而比痛哭更重。

In a way I thought I'd never ... again.

在感情或人生低谷後回望、坦白心跡時用，書面、剋制，別在輕佻場合說。

For a while I was sure I'd never feel that again. ／ Part of me had given up on love altogether.
