spark someone out一拳撂倒

把打鬥一層層排開，最後落在「用腦子」，一句話講透成長。

That's where the real battle is

勸人別動手、強呼叫腦子時用；輕飄飄地對當事人說會像教訓人。

The real fight happens up here. ／ That's where the real work is done.

中性

Kids stab 兩詞重讀，That s where 連讀，句尾 is 放平。

Forget the shouting; that's where the real battle is. 別光顧著吵，真正的較量在那兒。

用「散步」這種溫柔說法包住行刑，冷得讓人發笑。

took someone for a walk

講黑色幽默或形容「體面地收拾人」時用；真事敘述這樣說是迴避。

He took him out for a quiet talk. ／ They went for a drive and only one came back.

口語

took the little dragon 連讀，five bullets 重讀。

The manager took him for a walk and he never came back to the desk. 經理帶他出去走了走，他再沒回工位。

不說狠話，只說「來看看」，邀請裡全是底氣。

Come on down to ... and we'll see ...

半邀請半示威地說「來試試」時用；對陌生人會顯得挑釁。

Come by the gym and we'll sort you out. ／ Drop in and let's see what you've got.

口語

Come on down 連讀，we ll see 弱讀，with yous 收住。

Come on down to the club and we'll see what you can do. 來俱樂部吧，看看你能幹點什麼。

把「人生快、你慢」對得又短又狠，是教練訓話也是一句人生格言。

Life's quick, you're slow.

激勵別人抓緊行動時用；對客戶或長輩說會顯得居高臨下。

Life's short and you're dragging. ／ Time flies and you're standing still.

口語

wake up 連讀，Life's quick 與 you're slow 等長，末尾下沉。

Wake up, life's fast and you're still standing. 醒醒吧，人生很快，你還站原地。
