the female front感情方面

最直白的比較級交代一生：不是挺好，是從來最好，真心或表演都能成立。

Honestly, I've never been happier.

向別人總結自己近況、強調前所未有地好時能用，被問起傷心事時別說。

This is the happiest I have ever been. ／ I could not ask for more right now.

口語

Honestly 停頓，never been 連讀，happier 放慢重讀。

Honestly, Mom, I've never been busier. 說真的，媽，我從沒這麼忙過。

Honestly, Sam, I've never felt more at home. 說真的，山姆，我從沒這麼有歸屬感。

一句請求壓著多年被隱瞞的委屈，平靜反而讓人無法拒絕。

I want to meet him. After all these years.

長期被隱瞞後，提出一個本該早已實現的要求時能用；興師問罪的場合別用。

It has been years; let me finally meet him. ／ He should not have waited this long.

中性

I want to 連讀，After all these years 一頓一頓收尾。

I want to see her. After all these years. 我想見見她。都這麼多年了。

I want to know him. After all these years. 我想認識他。都這麼多年了。

把催婚說成恐嚇，又像對自己的苦笑自嘲，兩層意思同時成立。

You're gonna end up like me.

半嚇唬半自嘲地催人做決定時能用，認真勸誡的場合不要用。

Do not let my life become your warning. ／ You will wake up one day and be me.

口語

end up like me 連讀，me 重讀並拖長。

Keep saving, or you're gonna end up like me. 接著存錢吧，不然你就跟我一樣了。

Go to bed early, or you'll end up like me. 早點睡，不然你會跟我一樣。

一句輕描淡寫點破雙標：同樣的處境，對男人就換了尺子。

Course, it's different for men.

諷刺同一件事對不同性別有兩套標準時能用；嚴肅討論裡別用。

Of course, men get a pass. ／ The rules change when it is a man.

口語

Course 輕帶，different for men 放慢，men 重讀。

Sure, it's easier for men. 當然，男人就是容易些。

Of course, it's different for women. 當然了，女人就不一樣。
