if it isn't ...看看這是誰來了

把護短說成一句乾脆的條件句：前半是警告，後半是後果。不吵不鬧，立場卻硬。

Say that again about ..., and you're gonna regret it.

有人當面貶低你在乎的人時用，語氣強硬；對長輩或上級說會顯得冒犯。

Talk about my family like that again and you'll regret it. ／ Say one more word about him and see what happens.

口語

Say that again 連讀重讀，you're gonna regret it 放慢收尾。

Insult her again and you'll be sorry. 再侮辱她一次，你會後悔的。

最狠的貶低不是罵一句，而是替對方的一生下結論：現在可笑，以後也逃不掉。

You're a ..., and you always will be.

說一個改不掉的身份或毛病，殺傷力極大，別輕易對家人說。

You're a joke, plain and simple. ／ That's all you'll ever be.

口語

always 重讀拖長，will be 降調收住。

You're a joke, and that's never going to change. 你就是個笑話，而且永遠都是。

You'll always be a laughingstock, nothing more. 你永遠都是個笑柄，僅此而已。

哥哥沒安慰弟弟別怕，而是把恐懼說成一種可以不再延續的習慣。

You can't be ... all the time.

勸人別長期困在某種情緒裡時用，語氣要穩。

You can't live in fear forever. ／ You don't have to stay scared.

中性

all the time 放慢重讀，can't 弱讀，句尾輕收。

You can't spend your whole life afraid. 你不能一輩子都活在害怕裡。

用 tiny brain 這種人身攻擊當開場，把挑釁說得又衝又滑稽，是標準的小混混口氣。

Get this through your ... brain.

影視裡挑釁、放狠話時用；現實中對人這樣說等於宣戰，別用。

Let this sink into that head of yours. ／ Try to get this straight for once.

口語

Get this through 連讀，tiny brain 重讀，Mario 收尾。

Get this through your thick skull: we are not late again. 你給我記牢了：我們不許再遲到。

反問加一句硬邦邦的對比，把替哥哥出頭的莽撞換算成身材差距，荒唐又護短。

Are you insane? He's ... times your size.

勸人別硬碰硬時用；熟人之間可以，對上級別這麼說。

Have you lost it? He is twice your size. ／ That's insane; he'll flatten you.

口語

Are you insane 升調，three times your size 重讀放慢。

Are you insane? That dog is three times your size. 你瘋了嗎？那條狗比你大三倍。
