state your business說明來意

把一件小事抬到歷史的尺度上，莊嚴得近乎誇張，越正式越顯出被誇者的不自在。

History will long revere your ...

在正式致辭或鄭重又誇張地表彰他人時用，對同事、夥伴都行；私下隨口調侃時別用得太滿。

History will remember what you did. ／ Your courage will not be forgotten.

History will 連讀，long revere 放慢，courage 加重。

先裝模作樣誇畫質，再把矛頭甩到對方臉上，反轉幹脆，是典型的損友句式。

Look at that ... Your face!

熟人之間互相調侃、拿對方的臉開玩笑時用；對長輩或初次見面的人不要用。

Great camera. Shame about the face. ／ The lens is sharp. Your face is not.
