dig a little deeper再往深處挖

一句話點破「想要的」和「需要的」不是一回事：追著願望跑，反而錯過真正救命的答案。

You want ..., but you're blind to what you need.

提醒別人分清慾望和需要時用，語氣直接。

You chase what you want and miss what you need. ／ Your wish is blinding you to the answer.

口語

want 重讀，blind to what you need 放慢強調。

You chase what you want and ignore what you really need. 你追著你想要的東西，卻忽略了真正需要的。

把「需要什麼」這個問題解法指回自己：答案不在外面，在認清你是誰的那一刻。

When you find out who you are, you'll find out what you need.

在迷茫時提醒先認清自己時用，適合鼓勵。

Know yourself and the rest follows. ／ The need becomes clear once you know who you are.

中性

who you are 與 what you need 平行重讀，中間略停。

Figure out who you are, and you'll know what you need. 弄明白你是誰，你就會知道自己需要什麼。

不承諾答案，只給一種可能：挖到最後，也許能找到的不是錢，而是愛帶來的安穩。

Maybe love will grant you peace of mind.

在不確定中給出溫柔的可能時用，語氣保留。

Maybe what you're looking for is love. ／ Love might be the answer you can't see yet.

中性

Maybe 輕起停頓，peace of mind 放慢收尾。

I can't promise what you'll find, but maybe love brings you peace. 我不能保證你會找到什麼，但也許愛能給你安寧。

把一首歌的道理落回一句具體行動：既要往內挖，也要更用力，夢想才有著落。

I need to ... and ... even harder to ...

給自己定下更具體的目標和加倍努力時用，語氣堅定；安慰別人時也可以用它給出方向。

I need to dig deeper and work harder. ／ I have to try harder for this.

口語

dig a little deeper 與 work even harder 平行重讀，restaurant 收尾。

I need to dig a little deeper and train even harder to make the team. 我得再往深處想，也更拼命訓練，才能進隊。

先說「既然你們鐵了心」，再把條件收緊到「只有一個辦法」，一句話把退路全堵上。

If you're set on ..., there's only one way.

在對方已經下定決心後交代唯一辦法時用，語氣篤定；商量或留餘地的場合別把話說死。

If you're set on it, there's one way. ／ There's only one way if you insist.

口語

set on 重讀，only one way 放慢收尾。

If you're set on doing this yourself, there's only one way. 如果你執意自己來，那就只有一個辦法。
