get rid of除掉

把殺人說成讓一個小點停下來，輕描淡寫裡全是寒意。

Would you really ... if ...?

要逼對方承認自己並不在乎時用；開會或安慰人時別用這種冷酷假設。

Would you honestly care if that happened? ／ If that were gone forever, would it bother you?

中性

would you 連讀，pity 重讀，if 從句放慢收住。

Would you really feel bad if we just dropped that plan? 要是我們乾脆放棄那個計劃，你真會覺得難過嗎？

一句就把英雄主義按了下去，也預告了兩個人的分道揚鑣。

The world doesn't make any ...

對相信理想的人潑冷水時用；勸人上進或正式演講裡不要這樣用。

Nobody hands out medals for this. ／ Heroes don't grow on trees.

口語

doesn't 輕讀，heroes 重讀，句尾拖長留白。

The world doesn't make any shortcuts for people like us. 這世道不會給我們這種人什麼捷徑。

反話正說，把有錢也救不了你說得又冷又俏皮。

A lot of good X will do you.

挖苦對方白費心思時用；對長輩或談正事時別甩這種反話。

Much good that money will do you. ／ That cash won't help you where you're going.

口語

a lot of 連讀，good 重讀，jail 壓低收尾。

A lot of good that umbrella will do you in this wind. 這麼大的風，你帶把傘有什麼用。

末尾的 do you 像蓋章，把一句陳述釘成躲不掉的質問。

You don't ..., do you?

要逼對方表態、當面拆穿時用；跟不熟的人這樣問會顯得冒犯。

You really couldn't care less about her, could you? ／ You don't give a damn about Anna, do you?

口語

don't care 連讀，at all 重讀，do you 尾音稍揚。

You don't care about the team at all, do you? 你壓根兒就不在乎這個團隊，是不是？

用一句平靜的技術判斷，把殺人威脅說到骨頭裡。

I don't think they'd ... after you ...

含蓄地警告對方時用；開玩笑或正式場合都別套用這種威脅。

I doubt anyone would check for a bullet after the fall. ／ They won't be looking for a gunshot wound down there.

口語

don't think 弱讀，bullet wound 連讀，that ground 放慢。

I don't think they'd look for a dent after you drop that box. 你把那箱子摔下去，我想沒人會去查有沒有磕痕。
