get carried away忘乎所以

把一段感情比作繞路，既在拒絕又留了臺階，比喻溫和裡藏著自私。

think of someone as ...

想把一件事輕描淡寫帶過、又不想傷人時用；正式場合別這樣打比方。

Think of me as a short stop on a long road. ／ I'm just a chapter, not the whole book.

口語

think of me 連讀，detour 重音在後，highway 略上揚。

Think of this heartbreak as a short detour, not the road itself. 把這次失戀看成一小段繞路，而不是整條路。

最直白的承認，前面還加一句我早說過，帶著孩子氣的理直氣壯。

I think I'm in love with you.

對喜歡的人認真表白時用；不熟的人之間說會顯得突兀。

I think I've fallen for you. ／ I'm pretty sure I love you.

中性

told you before 連讀，in love with 三個詞連成一串。

I've waited weeks to say this: I think I'm in love with you. 這句話我憋了好幾週：我想我是愛上你了。

把拒絕說成過來人的忠告，get hung up with 一語道破他怕被綁住。

get hung up with someone

勸人別過早定下來時用；對戀人這樣說會顯得敷衍。

Don't get tied down so young. ／ You shouldn't commit to one person yet.

口語

don't wanna 縮讀，hung up with 連讀，age 降調收尾。

Don't get hung up with one person before you've seen the world. 還沒見過世面，別早早為一個人拴死。

把這段關係的不合法和誇張的自信擰成一句玩笑，既炫耀又心虛。

As long as the cops don't burst in, I think we'll break a few records.

跟熟人調侃一段出格的關係或經歷時用；正式場合絕對別說，涉及違法暗示。

If the police don't show up, we might set a record. ／ As long as nobody walks in, we're making history.

口語

As long as 連讀，don't burst in 稍快，I think 輕，break a couple of records 放慢上揚。

As long as nobody bursts in, I think we'll break a record. 只要沒人破門進來，我覺得我們能破紀錄。
