take over the cockpit接管駕駛艙

前半句承認不知，後半句照舊下判斷，急得實在。

I have no idea who it was. I think we have a ... here.

在沒搞清細節卻必須表態時用；正式報告裡要寫具體依據。

I don't know who it was. We may have a problem here. ／ No idea who that was, but something is wrong.

中性

I have no idea 連讀，hijack situation 重音落在 hijack。

I have no idea who sent it. I think we have a leak here. 我不知道是誰發的。我看我們這兒是洩密了。

一句追問逼出證據，把輕率的判斷按在桌上。

What makes you think ...?

想追問別人判斷依據時用；語氣偏硬，對上級要緩和些。

What makes you say that? ／ Why do you think it's a hijacker?

中性

makes you 連讀成 makes-ya，think 重讀，句尾上揚。

What makes you think he's lying? 你憑什麼覺得他在撒謊？

一句帶火的辯解，憑的是親耳聽見，壓不住的急。

I heard the ... in my ear, okay?

被人質疑、急著證明自己親歷時用；加 okay? 有火氣，別對客戶說。

I heard it myself, all right? ／ I heard him in my headset, okay?

口語

heard the guy 連讀，okay 尾音上揚帶點急。

I saw it with my own eyes, okay? 那是我親眼看見的，行嗎？

半句話加一聲感嘆，把「劫機」這個詞的時代感帶出來。

Haven't seen that in years.

感嘆很久沒遇到某事時用；隨便閒聊很自然，正式場合少用。

I haven't heard that in years. ／ It's been ages since we saw one.

口語

Haven't seen 連讀，in years 拖長收尾。

I haven't seen him in years. 我好多年沒見過他了。

用一句回憶把異常變成歷史，反而更讓人發冷。

When was the last time we had ...?

回憶久未發生的事時用；問長輩可以換成 When did we last...。

When did we last deal with a hijack? ／ How long has it been since a hijack?

中性

last time 連讀，we had 弱讀，句尾上揚。

When was the last time we had a big storm like this? 我們上次遇上這麼大的暴風雨是什麼時候？
