when her back is turned趁她不備

把一句狠話包裝成法庭質詢，越一本正經越滑稽。

Are you aware that ...

想反諷地指出對方做了過分的事時可以用；對不熟的人或正式場合別說。

Do you realize that you have been driving me mad? ／ Are you aware how close you came to disaster?

正式

aware that 連讀，strangling you 咬住 -ing，把重音放在 seriously。

Are you aware that I have not slept for three nights? 你知不知道我已經三個晚上沒睡著了？

一句法庭套話被拿來給謀殺護士開脫，荒誕感全在正經裡。

I hereby enter a plea of ...

想誇張地替自己某個荒唐念頭開脫時用；真在正式場合作法律陳述別亂借。

I hereby plead not guilty to the whole affair. ／ I enter a plea of temporary madness.

正式

My lord 輕起，members of the jury 分組，hereby 要重讀。

I hereby enter a plea of traffic, my lord. 法官大人，我在此提出堵車的抗辯。

把報復計劃說得有畫面、有步驟，最後一句誓言把荒誕推滿。

Some ... when her back is turned, I'll ...

朋友之間誇張地放狠話、約定要整某人時用；真吵架時這樣說要出事。

I'll get him one day when he least expects it. ／ Wait till his back is turned, and I will settle it.

口語

Some dark night 拉開節奏，So help me 一字一頓，末句壓低。

Some quiet afternoon when his back is turned, I'll hide his keyboard. 等哪天下午他轉過身去，我就把他的鍵盤藏起來。

一個病老頭把威脅說得像法庭陳詞，硬氣裡全是喜劇節奏。

Take your hands off ..., or I'll ...

對熟人以誇張口氣警告時能用；對長輩、上級或真衝突場合不要用。

Hands off, or I'll scream. ／ Let go of me, or you'll regret it.

口語

hands off 連讀，or 短促，I'll strike 加重，with my cane 放慢收尾。

Take your hands off my lunch, or I'll bill you for it. 別動我的午飯，不然我找你收錢。
