another thing coming等著吃苦頭吧

先用反問重複對方的話，再丟擲一條所謂的常識。六個詞就把一個人從規則裡劃掉，輕蔑得毫不費力。

Bad guys don't win medals.

用一條所謂常識否定別人的可能性時用，語氣高高在上。

People like you don't get prizes. ／ That is not how this works for you.

口語

Your medal 上揚，Bad guys 重讀，don't win medals 逐詞落下。

Your promotion? Interns don't get promotions. 你的升職？實習生可沒有升職。

A free ticket? Latecomers don't get free tickets. 免費票？遲到的人可拿不到免費票。

把一件珍貴的東西用一句技術判斷抹平。冷冰冰的陳述抹掉了對方對獎牌的全部感情，殺傷力來自無動於衷。

It's nothing but ... now.

把一件被看重的東西輕描淡寫地降為普通事物時用。

It's just data now. ／ All that is left is a number.

中性

It's nothing but 連讀，code now 放慢，now 收住。

It's nothing but junk now. 現在它不過是一堆垃圾。

It's nothing but a memory now. 現在它不過是一段回憶。

先用自創的貶稱壓人，再用 double negative 式的話表明決心。一句罵人和一句誓言綁在一起，氣勢反而全在拉爾夫這邊。

I'm not leaving without my ...!

表示不達到目的絕不罷休時用，帶一點賭氣。

I'm not going anywhere without it. ／ I refuse to leave empty-handed.

口語

Listen 短促，nilly-wafer 連讀，not leaving without 重重疊疊。

I'm not leaving without an apology! 不給我個道歉我就不走！

I'm not leaving without my refund! 不給我退款我就不走！

把最客氣的告別句式反過來說，禮貌的外殼裡全是嫌棄。上下兩句一正一反，結尾乾淨又刻薄。

It hasn't been a pleasure.

用客氣話反著表達不快、結束一段不愉快的見面時用。

It has been a displeasure. ／ Nice meeting you, not.

正式

Goodbye 拔高，hasn't been a pleasure 放慢，pleasure 輕收。

That's it from me. It hasn't been a pleasure. 我就說到這兒。這次見面真是一點都不愉快。

See you never. It hasn't been a pleasure. 再也別見。這次見面真是一點都不愉快。
