give someone another shot再給一次機會

在對方苦苦求複合時給出一句毫不修飾的判定；沒有鋪墊、沒有留情，把積壓多年的厭煩一次說盡。

You are the most annoying person I have ever met.

在忍無可忍、想一次把長期不滿說清時用，語氣冷靜而決絕。

You exhaust every room you walk into. ／ No one wears me out like you do.

口語

most annoying 重讀，I have ever met 放慢收尾。

I think you are the most stubborn person I have ever met. 我覺得你是我見過最固執的人。

用虛擬語氣把最絕的話留了一線：如果由我做主——可現實並不由她做主。拒絕裡有無奈，決絕裡有被困。

If I had my way, I would never ... again.

在表達強烈疏遠、又承認自己無力決定時用，語氣冷而帶無力感。

Left to me, you'd be gone forever. ／ I'd erase this if I could.

中性

if I had my way 連讀，never see you again 逐詞重讀。

If I had my way, we would never have this meeting. 要是我說了算，我們永遠不會開這個會。

把請求壓到最低的姿態：先用 I'm begging you 交出尊嚴，再把複合說成「再試一次」；越卑微，越顯出他已經沒別的牌。

I'm begging you. Just give me another shot.

在求人再給機會、願意放低姿態時用，語氣哀求；對客戶或上級用會顯得太私人、失去分寸。

I'm on my knees here, just one more chance. ／ Please, let me try again.

口語

I'm begging you 放慢壓低，Just give me 連讀，another shot 重讀收尾。

I'm begging you. Just give me another shot at the project. 我求你了，這個專案再讓我試一次。

拒絕最徹底的說法不是罵人，而是身體上的排斥；even 一詞把最後一點溫情也抹掉了，冷得沒有餘地。

I don't even want to ...

在表達徹底疏遠、連一點親近都不願給時用，語氣冰冷；對家人朋友說會重傷關係。

I can't stand the sight of you. ／ I don't want you anywhere near me.

口語

don't even 連讀重讀，want to 讀成 wanna，touch you 放慢收冷。

After that lie, I don't even want to talk to him. 撒了那個謊之後，我連話都不想跟他說。
