for better or worse不管好壞

把「你不懂」落到一個具體處境上：不是笨，是沒受過沒權沒勢的苦。它把政治立場還原成切身體驗，一句話堵住所有紙上談兵。

You don't know what it is to be without ...

指出對方沒有某種經歷、因而站著說話不腰疼時用，語氣重；對不熟的人說會顯得教訓人。

You don't know what it's like to go without. ／ You've never had to live without power.

正式

don't know 連讀，without power 放慢收尾。

You don't know what it's like to go without. 你不知道缺衣少食是什麼滋味。

先把對方的強項承認到底，再反手指出盲點：看得清細節，卻看不見趨勢。一個問句把偵探式的觀察和時代的洪流擺到一起。

You see ... so closely, but do you see how it's changing?

提醒埋頭細節的人抬頭看趨勢時用，語氣詰問；對上級說會顯得鋒芒太露。

You see every detail, but not the whole picture. ／ Do you notice how much has changed around you?

正式

so closely 重讀，do you see 上揚，changing 放慢。

You watch every detail, but do you see where this is heading? 你盯著每個細節，可你看得到大勢嗎？

把威脅說成對等：不吵不鬧，只點明雙方都握著刀。

We can both hurt each other

在談判或對峙裡提醒對方別逼太緊時用，語氣平靜；對朋友說會顯得翻臉。

We can each make this worse. ／ Hurt me and I can hurt you.

中性

both 重讀，hurt each other 連讀。

We can both make this deal collapse, so let's stay calm. 我們倆都能讓這單告吹，所以都冷靜點。

先誇對方聰明，再把反駁的路堵死：既然你懂，就沒法再裝不懂。誇獎和將軍在同一句裡完成。

You're intelligent enough to know that ...

明知對方心裡認同、想用一句誇獎逼他承認時用，語氣帶挑釁；對上級說會顯得傲慢。

You're smart enough to know it's all true. ／ You know this is true; that's what bothers you.

正式

intelligent enough 連讀，every word 重讀，is true 放慢收尾。

You're clever enough to know I'm right about this. 你夠聰明，知道這事我說得對。
