sick and tired of受夠了

父親把「穩定」和「夢想」擺在天平兩端，一句話點出兩代人最根本的分歧。

You don't leave ... for some ... dream.

勸阻別人為理想放棄現實保障時用，可能是擔心也可能是打壓。

Don't gamble a steady job on a dream. ／ You don't trade security for a maybe.

中性

steady job 重讀，crazy dream 放慢，形成兩種人生的對照。

You don't walk away from a stable job for a wild idea. 你不能為了一個瘋狂的想法就丟掉穩定的工作。

You don't give up security for a long shot. 別為了渺茫的機會放棄安穩。

把從小到大被否定的感受壓進一個「渺小」，不是委屈，是忍到極限的宣言。

I'm sick and tired of feeling so ....

表達對某種長期狀態徹底厭倦時用，情緒重，適合吐槽。

I'm fed up with feeling this small. ／ I can't stand feeling so small.

口語

sick and tired 連讀重讀，feeling so small 放慢下墜。

I'm just tired of feeling this small. 我真的厭倦了總覺得自己這麼渺小。

用歷史名人給兒子的固執兜底：被嘲笑不證明你錯，只證明你走在前面。

The world laughed at ..., too.

安慰被質疑的人、把他比作先行者時用。

They laughed at Galileo too. ／ Being mocked isn't proof you're wrong.

中性

world 重讀，laughed at 連讀，too 輕挑收尾。

The world laughed at plenty of geniuses first. 世上很多天才最初都被嘲笑過。

父親把反對從『你不行』升級到『你會害了他』，一句話擊中兄弟情最軟的地方。

You're bringing ... down with you.

家人反對冒險決定、擔心連累他人時用；對成年子女這樣說會傷人。

You're taking him down with you. ／ You'll drag your brother into this.

中性

bringing 重讀，your brother 稍頓，down with you 放慢收尾。

You're bringing your whole team down with you. 你會把整個團隊都拖下水。

用 we can't 的重複把多年的否定排成一列，委屈和不服氣一起湧出來。

Everyone's telling us we can't ..., we can't ...

傾訴長期被否定、被看扁的感受時用；正式場合換成更客觀的說法。

All our lives people have said we can't. ／ We have been told no since we were kids.

口語

Our whole lives 連讀，can't do this 與 can't do that 並列重讀。

Our whole lives, everyone's telling us we can't do it. 我們從小到大，所有人都說我們做不到。
