out of my sight別讓我看見

把「被誤解」重新定義成一種勳章：不是你有問題，是這個世界的問題。

In an insane world, it is the sane who is called crazy.

被群體誤解、堅持己見時用，書面色彩濃，適合獨白或引用。

In a mad world, the sane look insane. ／ They call you crazy for telling the truth.

literary

insane 與 sane 對照重讀，called crazy 放慢收尾。

In a mad world, the sane are the ones called crazy. 在瘋狂的世界裡，清醒的反倒被叫作瘋子。

When everything's upside down, being normal looks insane. 當一切都顛倒過來，正常反而顯得瘋。

在威脅面前先是承認，再一口氣把「他是我兄弟、他是最好的人」說出來。護短護得坦蕩，把恐懼壓成了驕傲。

He's my ..., and he's the best guy in the world.

向別人鄭重介紹、力挺自己的家人或摯友時用，語氣熱烈；在需要客觀評價的場合說會顯得不公。

That's my brother, and he's the best there is. ／ He's family, and he's the finest person I know.

口語

he's my brother Mario 連讀，best guy in the world 逐詞重讀收尾。

Yes, I know him—he's my brother, and he's the best person alive. 是，我認識他——他是我兄弟，世上最好的人。

被逼問也不貶低哥哥，反而把「覺得他好」說成一種品味資格，護得又硬又巧。

They do if they have good taste!

替自己人說話、反將對方一軍時用，帶點俏皮。

Anyone with taste would. ／ Only if they know what's good.

口語

good taste 重讀，句尾上揚，反問感強。

They do—if they've got any taste. 當然會，只要她們有眼光。

用一句謙虛開頭，再丟擲統治世界的大話，膨脹和荒誕一步到位。

Not sure if you know who I am, but I'm about to ...

自我介紹時若想幽默地擺資歷可以借這個句式；正式場合這樣說是自大。

You may not know me, but I run this town. ／ In case you don't know me, I'm about to own everything.

口語

Not sure if 連讀，marry a princess 重讀，rule the world 放慢收尾。

Not sure if you know who I am, but I'm about to run this meeting. 不知你認不認識我，不過這場會馬上歸我主持。

在生死關頭問出這麼孩子氣的問題，反派的可笑和執著一句就夠。

Do ... find him attractive?

想插一句不合場合的八卦問題時用；嚴肅談判或生死關頭別學。

Would princesses go for him? ／ Is he a hit with royalty?

口語

Do princesses 升調，find him attractive 連讀收尾。

Do critics find the sequel attractive? 影評人覺得這部續集有魅力嗎？
