pressing business更要緊的事

打人還要給個臺階，把暴力說成日程，冷得嚇人。

You're lucky I have more pressing business.

半玩笑半威脅地放過對方時用；正式場合說會像耍人。

Consider yourself lucky I'm busy. ／ You got off easy because I have elsewhere to be.

口語

lucky I 連讀，pressing business 兩個詞都重讀。

You're lucky I have more pressing business, or we'd still be talking. 算你走運我還有事，不然咱倆還沒完。

把爛攤子丟給別人還說得像體貼，甩鍋甩得很滑。

I'm going to leave you to it.

把難事交給別人、自己抽身時用；對上司說會顯得推責。

I'll leave you to it. ／ I'll let you three sort it out.

口語

going to 縮成 gonna，leave you 連讀，句尾放平。

I'm going to leave you to it and head home. 這事兒交給你，我先回家了。

把偷襲說成一種本事，威脅裡還帶著得意。

You're not going to see it coming.

放狠話說對方會措手不及時用；玩笑場合也太沖。

You won't even see it coming. ／ It'll be over before you notice.

口語

aren't going to 連成 ain't gonna，see 重讀。

You're not going to see this play coming. 這球你根本來不及反應。

把對方說過的話原樣遞回去，用一句反問堵住所有狡辯。

Isn't that what you said to me?

對方改口不認賬、你要當面戳穿他時用；對剛認識的人這樣說會像故意找茬。

Isn't that what you told me? ／ That's what you said, isn't it?

口語

that what you 連讀成一氣，said to me 放慢壓住。

Isn't that what you promised in the meeting? 那不是你在會上答應的嗎？
