Good Samaritan好心人

一句「你可真行」明誇暗罵，後半句把責任全砸過去。

You're something, ... None of this would have happened if it wasn't for you!

又氣又想罵人、先揚後抑地甩鍋時用；對朋友說也很傷人。

You're a piece of work, you know that? ／ This is all on you.

口語

You're something 快讀，would have 縮成 would've，be 前略停。

You're something, Jim. We'd have made it if it wasn't for you. 你可真行，吉姆。要不是你我們就趕上了。

同樣結構一正一反，把矛頭精準轉向對方，乾脆利落。

I'm not blaming this on X, I'm blaming this on you!

對方怪錯人、你要當場糾正並反擊時用；語氣很衝。

Don't blame her, blame me. ／ She's not the one at fault here; you are.

口語

blaming this on 連讀兩遍，第二個 you 加重收尾。

I'm not blaming this on the kids, I'm blaming this on you! 我不是怪孩子，我怪的是你！

把一連串血案全推給一次釣魚，荒誕的歸因正是笑點。

None of this would have happened if we hadn't ...

事後假設「要是不做某事就好了」時用；口語裡常說氣話。

This would never have happened if we'd stayed home. ／ We'd be fine now if we hadn't gone.

口語

would have 縮成 would've，hadn't have 快讀，fishin' 收輕。

None of this would have happened if we hadn't taken the highway. 要不是走了高速，根本不會這樣。

一句追問加兩句道歉，硬漢吵完架突然軟下來的笨拙全在裡頭。

Did I hurt your feelings?

吵架後小心試探對方有沒有被惹毛時用；用錯場合會顯得敷衍。

Did I upset you? ／ Have I hurt you?

中性

hurt your 連讀，feelings 尾音上揚，第二句 sorry 放輕。

Did I hurt your feelings just now? I'm sorry. 我剛才是傷到你了嗎？對不起。

三個短命令層層遞進，緊張動作戲的節奏全在重複裡。

Stay low. Keep your ...

帶人躲避危險、玩真人射擊時喊口令用；對長輩發號施令不合適。

Get down and stay down. ／ Keep your head down.

口語

Stay low 兩遍一頓一停，Keep your hat 加快收住。

Stay low. Stay low to the ground. Keep your mask on! 壓低。貼地壓低。面罩別摘！

一句雙重否定的土話，把鄉下人的慌亂和老實一下說透。

I ain't never ... before.

模仿鄉下口音、強調真的沒做過某事時用；正式書寫裡是錯的。

I've never shot at anyone before. ／ I never fired at a person in my life.

口語

ain't never 連讀，shot at 連讀，nobody 收低。

I ain't never driven a truck before. 我以前從沒開過卡車。
