shed light on作出說明

把最重的惡行用最輕的理由說出來：不是仇恨，不是瘋狂，只是「好玩」。正是這種孩子氣的直白讓整句話不寒而慄，也讓人第一次意識到兇手把殺人當成消遣。

I like doing this because it is so much fun.

說明自己偏愛某件事並給出輕描淡寫的理由時用，語氣平靜，越平靜越有反差。

I do it simply because it's fun. ／ The reason is that I enjoy it far too much.

正式

I like killing people 平讀，because it is so much fun 放慢，fun 落重音。

I keep at it simply because it brings me joy. 我一直畫，純粹因為它讓我開心。

I do it because it makes me genuinely happy. 我做這件事是因為它真的讓我快樂。

兇手給死亡安排了一個獎賞：不是終結，而是升級。它把殺人和永生縫在一起，聽上去像佈道，細想卻讓人頭皮發麻，是這封信裡最滲人的一句自我安慰。

The best part of it is that when I die, I will be reborn in ...

描述某件事最大的好處、並把它和未來回報掛鉤時用，語氣篤定，常帶自我說服的味道。

The best part is that death only leads to something better. ／ When I die, I will come back renewed.

literary

The best part of it 輕快，when I die 稍頓，reborn in paradise 平穩收尾。

The best part is that a new start is waiting on the other side. 最妙的是，另一頭等著的是一次全新的開始。

What I love most is that this effort pays off later. 我最喜歡的一點是，這份付出以後會有回報。

把一場連環殺戮寫成行程表：時間、目標、下一步都交代清楚。冷的不是內容，而是那種安排週末一樣的口吻，讓人明白這不是衝動，而是計劃。

I will cruise around all weekend killing ..., then move on to kill again.

預告自己會連續做某件事、並強調不會收手時用，語氣堅決，帶威脅意味。

I'll keep at it all weekend and then start over. ／ I will roam all night and pick my targets.

正式

cruise around 連讀，killing lone people 放慢，move on to kill again 壓低。

I will work through all weekend fixing things, then start over Monday. 我會整個週末都在修東西，週一再從頭來。

I'll just binge the whole weekend and then queue up more. 我就整個週末連著看，看完了再往下排。

一句像筆錄一樣的通報：時間、地點、結局，一個多餘的詞都沒有。越是不動聲色，越顯出案子被反覆翻看後的麻木，適合在氣氛壓到最低時丟擲事實。

Christmas, two teenagers on ..., both DOA.

用極簡的口氣交代案情或結果時用，羅列要素、不加評價，適合通報和記錄場景。

Two teenagers, found dead on arrival. ／ Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

中性

Christmas 起句輕，two teenagers 平讀，Both DOA 一字一頓收住。

Friday, two workers on the night shift, both unaccounted for. 週五，兩名夜班工人，兩人都下落不明。

Last night, a family of four, all injured. 昨晚，一家四口，全部受傷。
