“I know that sounds like a cat poster, but it's true.”
我知道這話聽著像雞湯海報,但它是真的。
先把「這話很俗」自己說破,再堅持它是真的。敢於承認自己像口號,反而讓這句道理站得更穩,也教人怎麼把大道理說出口。
I know that sounds like ..., but it's true.
要說一句容易被當雞湯的話時用,先自嘲能降低牴觸;正式演講裡不宜多用。
I know it sounds like a cliché, but it holds. / Call it a slogan if you like, but it works.
口語
cat poster 連讀,but it's true 重讀後收住。
I know that sounds like a cat poster, but sleep fixes most of this. 我知道這聽著像雞湯,但睡一覺能解決大半。
