false move輕舉妄動

用 you'd think 的預期落空，一句點出名人怕孤獨的反常心理。

You'd think he'd ...

看到別人做了反直覺的事時用；正式報告裡別用這種口語評價。

You'd think he'd keep a low profile. ／ You would expect him to avoid the crowds.

口語

You'd think 輕讀帶過，he'd wanna 連成一串。

He hates noise, yet you'd think he'd move somewhere quieter. 他那麼怕吵，按說早該搬到安靜點的地方。

越說平靜越嚇人，用客氣話包裝威脅，比吼出來更冷。

I'd hate to ...

半開玩笑地警告別人別逼你出手時用；真到危險場合千萬別拿它當玩笑。

I'd hate for this to get ugly. ／ Please don't make me do something I'll regret.

口語

false moves 連讀，I'd hate 弱讀後 drop 語氣。

I'd hate to call your manager over this. 為這事叫你們經理來，我可不想走到那步。

一句大白話把名人的孤獨說透，冷靜得像在報天氣。

because he doesn't wanna ...

解釋一個人表面反常的行為動機時用；安慰正低落的人時別用這種斷言口吻。

Because he hates being by himself. ／ He just doesn't want to be on his own.

口語

wanna 輕讀，be alone 連讀，句尾放平。

She keeps the radio on because she doesn't wanna be alone. 她一直開著收音機，因為不想一個人待著。

把自己的臺詞交出去指揮對方，操縱裡裝出體貼，一句 okay 更顯得荒誕。

I'll tell you exactly what to say.

手把手教別人怎麼說時用，同事配合或指導可以，別在需要對方自主判斷的場合這樣指揮。

Put him on and I'll feed you the lines. ／ Get him on the line, I'll tell you what to say.

口語

Get him on the phone 連讀，exactly what to say 放慢強調。

Call him back, and I'll tell you exactly what to say. 給他回電話，我告訴你該怎麼說。
