have feelings for someone對某人有感情

把放不下的感情比作一個開關，一句就道盡了清醒的執著。

I can't just turn it off that fast.

解釋自己放不下某人或某種情緒時用；工作上這麼說會顯得不專業。

I can't switch these feelings off. ／ It's not something I can shut down overnight.

中性

turn it off 連讀，that fast 重讀收尾。

I wish I could, but I can't just turn it off that fast. 我也希望可以，可我沒法說關就關。

用一句 I feel liberated 把別人的失戀硬說成好事，反諷得毫不心虛。

You're liberated. I feel liberated.

半開玩笑地替人宣佈「你自由了」時用；對方正難過時別這麼說。

You're free now, and honestly so am I. ／ Consider yourself liberated.

口語

liberated 重讀兩次，第二句語調更輕佻。

You're liberated now, so stop texting him. 你現在自由了，別再給他發訊息了。

損人的話裡藏著盼頭，把辭職和寫完小說綁成同一個出口。

You gotta finish ... so you can quit ...

催朋友完成作品、早點脫身時用；對不熟的人別用損人的口氣。

Finish the book and you can drop that dead-end job. ／ Get the novel done so you can walk away.

口語

gotta 縮讀，so you can 連讀，stupid 重讀。

Finish that thesis so you can quit the lab. 把論文寫完，你好離開實驗室。

一句承認說得又輕又準，把沒放下、又不想被勸的矛盾全放在「I guess」的遲疑裡。

I guess I still have feelings for [someone].

對好友承認自己沒放下某人時用；對當事人或在不合適的場合說，會顯得輕率又傷人。

I suppose I'm not over her yet. ／ Some feelings are still there, I guess.

口語

I guess 輕讀，still have feelings 連讀，for her 收輕。

I guess I still have feelings for my old hometown. 我想我對老家還是有感情的。
