preyed upon被獵食

用兩個讀音幾乎一樣的詞，把「神聖」和「傷害」疊在一起，一句話就完成控訴。它短、狠、難反駁，是整場陳述裡最鋒利的一句。

I don't mean ... I mean ...

要糾正別人的聽感和用詞、把話說得更重時用，語氣冷靜而鋒利。

I did not say he helped me; I said he hunted me. ／ Not protected; used.

正式

don't mean 輕帶，prayed for 與 preyed upon 兩處放慢、對比著讀。

I don't mean he helped me. I mean he hunted me. 我不是說他幫過我。我是說他獵捕過我。

Not supported; used. 不是被支援，是被利用。

一句反問把受害者的兩難說盡：在信仰裡，拒絕神父就等於拒絕上帝。它不煽情，卻讓人立刻明白那種無處可逃。

How do you say no to ...?

說明某種處境下根本沒有選擇時用，語氣無奈又尖銳。

Who could say no to that? ／ How do you turn down someone you believe speaks for God?

中性

How do you 輕快，say no 稍重，God 後稍作停頓。

How do you say no to someone you trust? 你要怎麼對信任的人說不？

Who could say no to that? 那種情況下誰能拒絕？

用「倖存者」這個稱呼，把受害者重新命名：不是可憐人，而是活下來的人。它把身份從傷口轉成韌性，簡短卻極有力量。

That's why we call ourselves ...

為某個群體重新命名、賦予力量時用，語氣堅定而剋制。

That is why we prefer the word survivors. ／ Surviving is not the same as being a victim.

中性

That's why 輕帶，call ourselves 稍慢，survivors 重讀收尾。

That is why we prefer the word survivors. 所以我們更願意用「倖存者」這個詞。

That's why we call ourselves fighters. 所以我們才自稱戰士。

用三個遞進的短句把範圍一層層撐開，把地方新聞抬成全球議題。節奏由短到長再收，適合任何要強調事情非同小可的場合。

It's not just X. It's Y. It's Z.

要把某件事的影響說得更大時用，語氣層層加重。

This is bigger than one city; it reaches the whole country. ／ It is not local; it is global.

正式

not just Boston 平讀，whole country 與 whole world 逐句加重、放慢。

This is not just one office. It's the whole company. It's the whole industry. 這不只是一個辦公室。是整個公司。是整個行業。

It is not local; it is global. 這不是地方問題，是全球問題。

把追責的天花板一下拉到最高處。短短一句，既是控訴也是宣言：這條線沒有盡頭，誰都不能裝作看不見。

And it goes right up to ...

指出問題牽涉到最高層時用，語氣沉重而確定。

This reaches the very top. ／ The trail leads all the way up.

正式

And it goes 輕帶，right up to 稍慢，Vatican 重讀收尾。

This reaches the very top. 這件事一直通到最高層。

The trail leads all the way up. 這條線一直往上通到底。
