level someone一眼把人鎮住

把「真正的失去」定義成愛的深度，一句就讓人沉默。

that only occurs when you ...

講清某種感受的前提時用；安慰剛失去親人的人別急著說。

That only happens when you care more than you should. ／ It only comes when something matters more than you do.

literary

occurs 重讀，when you 連讀，句尾放慢收。

That kind of grief only occurs when you love something more than yourself. 那種悲傷只有在你愛它勝過愛自己時才會出現。

用 dare 一個字，把對方的怯懦和退縮全說透了。

I doubt you've ever dared to ...

質疑對方有沒有真正做過某事時用；對不熟的人說會太沖。

I doubt you've ever risked loving anyone that much. ／ I wonder if you've ever let yourself love that deeply.

中性

doubt 弱讀，dared to 連讀，that much 重讀收尾。

I doubt you've ever dared to tell her how you feel. 我懷疑你從沒敢告訴她你的感受。

兩個形容詞一褒一貶，把威爾的外殼和內心一起扒開。

I see a ... kid.

當面戳穿某人外強中乾時用；髒話重，正式場合別用。

I see a cocky kid who is scared to death. ／ Under all that swagger, I see a frightened boy.

口語

cocky 重讀，scared shitless 連讀，kid 短促收。

I see a cocky kid who has never been tested. 我看到的是個從沒經受過考驗的自大小子。

把最狠的否定說成一句平靜的陳述，殺傷力拉滿。

I can't learn anything from you I can't ...

被人自以為是地說教時可以回敬，只對撕破臉的人用，別對老師長輩說。

There's nothing you can teach me that a book can't. ／ I've read everything you're telling me.

口語

know what 連讀，can't learn anything 快讀，some fuckin' book 重音落 book。

There is nothing in your lecture I couldn't find online. 你講的這些，我在網上都找得到。
