the full monty毫無保留的全套

把年紀和眼光放進一句，樂觀被輕輕削掉，不像宣誓。

我快到某個歲數，看某事沒那麼樂觀。

跟同齡朋友聊轉折可以用，別拿年齡去壓剛起步的人。

The birthday made the future look dimmer. ／ I was hitting that age and seeing things more plainly.

中性

forty和less加重，perhaps輕輕帶過。

I was turning 50 and I was looking at the clinic less optimistically. 我快五十了，看這家診所也不再那麼樂觀。

前半是狠判斷，後半把打架收進自己家，委屈一下子炸開。

從沒想過在自己的地方還得打架。

跟信任的人訴苦能用這股勁，演講或開玩笑別學這口方言。

I never thought I'd have to fight under my own roof. ／ Safe with everyone else, and still not safe at home.

literary

house前停一下，never咬清，別讓否定聽反。

I never thought I had to raise my voice in my own kitchen. 我從沒想過，在自己廚房裡還得抬高聲音。

愛先說滿，再用before把捱打擋在死的後面，底線沒有縫。

我寧可怎麼樣死，也不讓他再怎麼樣我。

這是絕境裡的發誓，朋友間誇大洩憤都嫌重，對誰都別當真。

I will end it before I let him hit me again. ／ Love stays; the beating does not.

口語

God knows輕起，dead前的kill砸實。

I'll kill that rumor dead before I let it reach my mother. 我寧可把謠言掐死，也不讓它傳到我媽耳朵裡。

用一句俗話承認尺度沒跟上原著，比解釋鏡頭更像人話。

沒像某人那樣做到毫不保留。

朋友間說自己沒做到位可以，當著作者或當事人別用，太輕。

I stopped short of the uncut version. ／ I didn't take it all the way.

口語

monty兩個音節站穩，後半句加快收住。

He went for the full monty with the office gossip. 辦公室那些閒話，他一個細節都沒藏。

兩個just把理由抽空，只剩下膽小和不好意思。

我就是某種心情。我就是有點另一種。

跟合作的人承認自己退縮可以用，拿它推卸責任就別說。

I lost my nerve. ／ I was too embarrassed to go through with it.

口語

timid和embarrassed拉長，just放輕。

I was just nervous. I was just a little embarrassed to ask. 我就是緊張，開口問的時候有點不好意思。

could never把“還沒走到”說成“到不了”，界限一次畫死。

永遠走不到某人用某物走到的地方。

跟第三者談作品差距時可以說，當著寫書的人或正式場合別說。

That part of the book was beyond him. ／ He could not reach the place her pages go.

中性

never加重，book輕收，where不要吞。

I could never go where the nurse went with that family. 護工陪那家人走到的地方，我永遠走不到。
