a cheap shot損人的話

用極度認真又極度諷刺的回答把對方反覆確認的廢話頂回去，句式像陳述事實，語氣全是白眼，冷幽默樣板。

I'm awake and I speak English, so, yeah, I do know.

對方問了顯而易見的問題時用，一本正經回敬，熟人間可以，對長輩別太沖。

Yes, I understood you the first time. ／ I heard you, believe it or not.

口語

I'm awake 短促，and I speak English 稍快，I do know 放慢加重收。

I can read and I have a calendar, so, yeah, I know. 我識字也有日曆，所以，對，我知道。

I've been here an hour, so, yeah, I noticed. 我在這待了一小時了，所以，對，我注意到了。

用 look who 把一句誇獎說成一次揭穿，暗示對方平時只顧自己，越像表揚越像算舊賬。

對方難得表現出體貼時用反話調侃他平時自私，朋友間可，對不熟的人別用。

Well, look who suddenly cares. ／ Nice of you to think of someone else.

口語

Look who is 連讀，concerned about 稍快，other than themselves 放慢收。

Look who finally washed a dish other than his own. 瞧瞧是誰終於洗了一個自己的以外的碗。

Look who offered to help someone besides himself. 瞧瞧是誰主動提出幫別人了。

把一段感情的失敗歸因成一句冷冰冰的因果，用 what you get for 的句式，把安慰變成了補刀。

用近乎冷酷的總結指出對方自作自受時用，損友之間可以，對剛受傷的人別用。

That's the price you pay for that. ／ You knew what you were getting into.

口語

That's what you get for staying up till three. 熬夜到三點，這就是下場。

That's what you get for buying the cheapest one. 圖便宜買了最便宜的那個，活該。

一句刻薄話之後立刻把對方的價值抬起來，用 and you know it 把安慰說得像共識，短句裡全是真心。

You're a lot more than that, and you know it.

在別人被貶低後替對方把尊嚴撐起來時用，對朋友真誠安慰可以，嘲諷場合別用。
