get one's hands off someone把手拿開

前半句像家長訓話，後半句突然黑到底。極度正經和極度荒唐撞在一起，笑點就出來了。

Don't talk to me like that. I will ...

朋友間開玩笑、裝狠時能用；對陌生人或真生氣的人說會惹禍，絕對別用。

Watch your tone with me. ／ Speak to me like that again and see what happens.

口語

Don't talk to me 平直，like that 後停頓，後半句壓低放慢。

Don't talk to me like that. I will tell everyone your karaoke video exists. 別這麼跟我說話，不然我把你唱歌的影片發出去。

用教條般的認真談一件不該做的事，還講規矩。荒誕感來自「打人也要有職業操守」。

If you're gonna ..., ... on one.

給朋友立規矩、講決斷時能借用句式；任何正經場合都不要用打人做比喻。

If you do it, do it properly. ／ No half measures once you commit.

口語

gonna 弱讀，punch someone 重音，on one 乾脆收尾。

If you're gonna quit, quit on a Monday, not mid-project. 要辭職就週一辭，別幹到專案一半撂挑子。

把警告具體到一個紋身上，威脅立刻有了畫面。髒話不是重點，重點是她說得出就做得到。

I will rip ... right off of ...

只在朋友間誇張放狠話時借用；對任何真實衝突物件別說，會被當真。

I'll tear that thing right off you. ／ Touch her again and you'll regret it physically.

口語

rip 重讀，right off 連讀，chest 降調收。

I'll pull that smug grin right off your face. 我就把你那得意的笑從臉上拽下來。

用「我見過」代替「我不怕」，一句履歷就把對方降級成常見貨色。剋制，但氣場最足。

I've dealt with ... like him at work.

被人挑釁、想顯得見過世面時能用；對同事炫耀資歷會顯得傲慢，別用。

I've handled worse than you before breakfast. ／ Guys like him are a Tuesday for me.

口語

I've dealt with 連讀，handsy assholes 加重，at work 輕收。

I've dealt with complainers like him all week. 這種愛挑刺的人我一整週都在應付。

不喊不罵，用一句「何不」把要求包成建議，反而更難拒絕。冷處理挑釁的高招。

Why don't you ..., man.

勸人收手、劃界限時能用，語氣可松可硬；對領導或長輩用會失禮。

Do us a favor and back off. ／ How about you give them some space?

口語

You know what? 輕甩，Why don't you 平，man 拖長壓低。

Why don't you give it a rest, man. 你歇會兒吧，哥們。
