authorized personnel獲授權人員

用兩個官腔詞把門關死，拒絕裡透著小人物照章辦事的硬氣。

Only authorized personnel are allowed in.

拒絕沒資格的人進入時用；對朋友這樣講會顯得打官腔。

Only staff are allowed in here. ／ Entry is for authorized personnel only.

正式

Only 和 authorized 重讀，rules and regulations 放平收尾。

Only authorized personnel are allowed in during the shoot. 拍攝期間只有授權人員才能進去。

順著對方的荒唐自稱往下演，一句玩笑把對方的自大照得透亮。

You'll recognize + 名詞

順著對方吹牛往下接玩笑時用；真需要認真答覆的場合別這樣。

You'll recognize it when you see it. ／ Your seat is easy to spot.

口語

throne 拖長一點，recognize 重讀，句尾輕落。

You'll recognize my car; it's the loudest one here. 你肯定認得出我的車，這兒就它最響。

用一句反問把對方的盤問頂回去，荒唐裡帶著幾分自嘲。

Does that make me + 名詞?

被人無端聯想、想問一句「這就算了嗎」時用；正式場合要收斂。

Does that make me an expert now? ／ Am I suddenly a criminal for that?

口語

two years、two in 各稍作停頓，反問句尾上揚。

I read one book on finance. Does that make me a banker? 我看了一本理財書。這就算銀行家了？

被盤問時的重複加上一個煞有介事的書名，執拗和自封的身份全在這句裡。

a book called ...

向不信任你的人重申來歷或作品時用，面試、投稿可以，別人已明確拒絕後別反覆糾纏。

Like I said, I'm the author of The Vanishing Siberian Tiger. ／ I wrote a book, The Vanishing Siberian Tiger.

中性

I told you 重讀，The Vanishing Siberian Tiger 逐詞咬清。

I told you. I wrote a book called The Long Winter. 我說過了。我寫過一本書，叫《漫長寒冬》。
