Between you and me私下說

You're not gonna ..., are you?

熟人半開玩笑地表示「我就知道躲不過」時用，語氣輕鬆；對上級或正式場合用會顯得沒分寸。

You're not gonna dump this on me too, are you? 你不會也把這個甩給我吧？

Every generation has to keep the flame alive. ／ The next generation must carry it on.

Between you and me, ... is kind of ...

想跟熟人分享不太方便公開的評價時用，語氣要壓低；對當事人或不熟的人說會立刻得罪人。
