lose faith in失去信心

用 Not everyone 這種部分否定代替 no one，把被拒絕的應聘者輕輕放下，又立刻給自己的工作鍍上 glamor 和 mystery。被否掉的是別人，被抬高的卻是這份工作本身，自嘲和驕傲同時在場。

Not everyone appreciates the ... of our work.

當別人不認可你做的事、你想不失風度地維護自己的行當時用；對同事或朋友說還行，對上級要謹慎。

Not everyone sees the value in what we do. ／ The magic of this job is lost on some people.

中性

Not everyone 輕起，appreciates 重音在 pre，glamor and mystery 放慢，Oliver 收尾略上揚。

Not everyone appreciates the work that goes on behind the scenes. 不是每個人都看得到幕後付出的價值。

Not everyone gets why I love repairing old clocks. 不是每個人都懂我為什麼愛修舊鐘。

把一封被糖漿粘住的信上升到國家與孩子的層面，用 cannot allow 這種近乎宣誓的句式，鄭重得可愛。整部劇的浪漫正來自這種把小事當大事的認真。

We cannot allow someone to do something.

想鄭重表態、拒絕讓某事發生時用，正式發言或半開玩笑地誇張時都行；日常小事上這樣說會顯得用力過猛。

We can't let this happen on our watch. ／ I won't allow them to give up hope.

正式

cannot allow 連讀略快，our country's children 三個詞咬清，lose faith in 放慢收尾。

We cannot allow one bad season to define this team. 我們不能讓一個糟糕的賽季定義這支球隊。

We must not let these kids lose faith in their own ideas. 我們絕不能讓這些孩子對自己的想法失去信心。

用特工片的腔調介紹一個處理死信的小科室，elite、task force、wide powers、discretion 一連串大詞砸下來，把寒酸的日常包裝成秘密行動，是這部劇標誌性的自我打趣。

We're an elite task force with wide powers of something.

半開玩笑地把自己那點平凡工作說得像秘密任務時用；正式場合別用，容易像在吹牛。

We're a small team with a very broad mandate. ／ Think of us as a special unit with unusual latitude.

口語

an elite task force 平平帶過，wide powers 加重，postal discretion 放慢收尾。

We're an elite task force with wide powers of punctuation. 我們是一支精銳特遣隊，握有廣泛的標點裁量權。

We are a crack unit with sweeping authority over office supplies. 我們是一支精銳小隊，對辦公用品擁有至高權力。

面試現場最客氣也最沒有下文的一句：把拒絕包在誇獎簡歷的糖衣裡，還留一個永遠不會打來的電話，職場里人人都聽過。

I think we have everything we need, so we will be in touch.

面試或商務會面想委婉結束、又不想當場拒絕時用；對朋友或熟人這麼說會顯得虛偽，不要用。

We'll be in touch. ／ Thanks, we have everything we need for now.

正式

I think we have 輕帶，everything we need 重讀，we will be in touch 放慢收尾。

Thanks for coming in — we have everything we need, so we'll be in touch. 感謝你來面試——需要的資訊我們都有了，有訊息再聯絡。
