keep your shirt on別激動

一句俏皮話把探長的兇相化成笑話，緊張裡透出老太太的鎮定。

He must've gotten out of the wrong side of the bed.

調侃別人一早脾氣差時說；對正在發火的上司別當面用。

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. ／ He's in a mood this morning.

口語

must've gotten 連讀，wrong side 重讀，morning 收平。

She must've gotten out of the wrong side of the bed today. 她今天準是起床起錯了邊。

一句誇張把搜查推上頂點，火藥和陰謀一起被說滿。

There's enough X to do something.

想誇張某樣東西多得離譜時用；正式報告裡別這麼講。

There's enough of it to level the block. ／ That much powder could take out the whole street.

口語

enough gunpowder 連讀，blow up 重讀，town 收尾下壓。

There's enough work here to keep us busy all month. 這活兒多得夠我們忙一整個月。

全家被抓還當成看戲，一句話寫盡這家人的荒唐與天真。

It's just like X, isn't it?

把眼前的亂局比作別的東西來打圓場時用；別人正著急時這麼說會顯得沒心沒肺。

It feels just like a movie, doesn't it? ／ This is like something out of a play.

中性

just like a 連讀，play 拉長，isn't it 輕聲上揚。

It's just like a wedding, isn't it? 這簡直像場婚禮，是吧？

被冒犯時的經典臺詞，一句話把身份和怒氣一起亮出來。

Do you realize who I am?

場合：真被無禮對待時表達抗議，或模仿那種擺架子的語氣；對朋友開玩笑能用，對服務人員千萬別這麼說。

This is absurd. Do you know who you're talking to? ／ Do you have any idea who I am?

正式

outrageous 重讀，who I am 逐詞頓開。

This is ridiculous. Do you realize who you're shoving? 這太荒唐了。你知道你在推誰嗎？
