the end of the world世界末日

指著眼前的直升機說跟了一上午，偏執裡帶著說不出的累。

I think it's been + doing something + all morning.

堅持自己沒看錯、別人卻不信時用；正式場合說會被當成多疑。

I think it's been watching me all day. ／ It has been on me since this morning.

口語

Right in front 重讀，following me 連讀，all morning 拖長。

I think that car has been following us for miles. 我覺得那輛車跟了我們好幾公里了。

一邊安撫一邊拿主意，把慌亂穩穩按下去。

It's not the end of the world. We're going to ...

安慰慌了神的人、順便定下下一步時用；對方真遭大難時別輕說。

It's not the end of the world, we'll fix it. ／ Don't panic, we are heading there now.

中性

not the end 連讀，your mother's 重音在頭，句尾收穩。

It's not the end of the world, we can rebook the flight. 又不是世界末日，機票可以改簽。

用重複的 I've 把一整天的疲憊和確信都堆了起來。

I've been all over + 地點 + and I've seen it all day.

強調自己到處跑、親眼所見時用；對不耐煩的聽眾說會顯得固執。

I've been everywhere today and it keeps showing up. ／ I've driven all over and seen it all day.

口語

I've been 連讀，all over town 一頓，all day 重讀。

I've been all over the city and I've seen that poster everywhere. 我跑遍全城，到處都看見那張海報。

三句短話把不信、罵人和辯解全擠在一起，火氣十足。

What are you, nuts? I'm telling you.

熟人之間表示不信、又急著讓對方相信時用；髒話太沖，正式場合別用。

Are you crazy? I'm serious. ／ No way, what is wrong with you? I mean it.

口語

What are you 快讀成 wacha，nuts 上揚，I'm telling you 加重。

What are you, nuts? I'm telling you, it happened. 你有毛病吧？我說真的，真發生了。
