“Well, I needn't tell you, sir, that in Germany the gangsters finally succeeded in putting the honest citizens in jail.”
嗯,先生,不用我說您也知道,在德國,最後是匪徒把守法公民關進了監獄。
把整個國家的顛倒壓縮成一句冷笑的反轉,禮貌的 sir 更顯諷刺。
I needn't tell you, sir, that ...
嚮明白人點破荒謬時用,適合嚴肅敘述;日常閒聊嫌太重。
I hardly need to explain how that ended. / You already know who ended up in jail.
正式
needn't tell you 輕快,gangsters 和 honest 對比重讀。
I needn't tell you who ended up getting blamed. 不用我說,最後捱罵的是誰。
