what the blazes搞什麼名堂

用疑問句代替宣言，把巨大的幸福說成一種無從把握的狀態。when all his dreams have come true 用的是完成時，夢想已經實現，問題卻還在，笨拙得剛好是一個老實人的心聲。

How should someone feel when all their dreams have come true?

表達夢想成真時難以置信的喜悅用，正式偏口語；日常小事別誇張成這樣。

What does a man do when everything he wished for arrives? ／ Who knows how to feel when life suddenly says yes?

正式

Well 輕起，how should a man feel 放慢，all his dreams have come true 加重收。

How should a woman feel when all her hard work has finally paid off? 一個人所有努力終於有了回報，她該是什麼心情？

How should a student feel when every goal has suddenly come true? 一個學生所有目標突然都實現了，他該是什麼心情？

用 jolly well 這個英式口語裡特有的加強詞，把一個簡單的 yes 說得又俏皮又鄭重。它帶一點老派的體面，也透出巴克斯特壓抑多年後終於放開的歡喜。

I jolly well will.

英式口語里加強肯定地回答朋友的邀請或提議時用，帶感情又俏皮；正式場合不要用。

I certainly will, and gladly. ／ You can count on it, and then some.

口語

I jolly well 連讀，will 加重收。

I jolly well will, and I'll enjoy every minute of it. 我當然願意，而且每分鐘都樂在其中。

I jolly well will, no matter how hard it gets. 我當然會，不管有多難。

用 For the first time 標出一條分界線，把過去的窘迫和現在的底氣隔開。decent, prosperous 兩個詞都剋制，不說大富大貴，只承諾體面與安穩，顯得格外可信。

For the first time, I can offer X.

鄭重承諾能給對方的未來生活時用，正式、踏實；隨口吹牛的場合別說，會顯得輕率。

At last I can offer you a comfortable life. ／ For once, I have something real to give.

正式

For the first time 停頓，I can offer 輕帶，a decent, prosperous life 放慢收。

For the first time, I can offer my parents a proper holiday. 頭一回，我能給父母一次像樣的假期。

For the first time, I can offer my team real security. 頭一回，我能給團隊真正的保障。

先承認現在的處境，再用 who knows 留一個向上的可能。既有對現實的清醒，又不失野心，是一個剛從底層翻身的人最真實的口吻。

For X now, but who knows what'll happen if I'm any good at it.

在承認現狀的同時留出對未來的期待時用，口語；對上級表態別用，顯得不自信。

That's the plan for now; the rest is up to how well I do. ／ Small start, but who can tell where it leads?

口語

For Mr. Barber now 輕帶，who knows 停頓，if I'm any good at it 放慢收。

For a small client now, but who knows what'll happen if I'm any good at it. 眼下是給一個小客戶做，可要是我真做得好，誰知道後面會怎樣。

For a school paper now, but who knows what'll happen if I'm any good at it. 眼下是給校刊寫，可要是我真寫得好，誰知道會怎樣。
