so busted被逮个正着

用最客气的句式下最狠的判决，记忆成了报复的筹码。

something tells me + 一句预告

对刚得罪过你的人半开玩笑放话时能用，对上司或长辈别这样说，像挑衅。

something tells me we'll meet again ／ I have a feeling you won't forget this

中性

something tells me 轻快，remember me this time 逐词重读。

Something tells me you're going to remember this meeting. 我有种预感，这次会议你会记很久。

把体面社会戳穿成表演，一句话就是全片判词。

In order to be X, one must ...

写总结、演讲或讽刺场面时能用，日常闲聊会显得端着，别对朋友这样说。

to succeed, you have to look the part ／ success is a look you keep up

正式

in order to 连读，at all times 放慢收尾。

In order to be trusted, one must look trustworthy at all times. 想让人信任，就得时时显得可靠。

分手的话说得最轻，替双方留台阶，也把自己摘干净。

I guess we should + 动词原形

关系降温又不想撕破脸时用，对上级或正式场合别这样含糊表态。

maybe we should take a break ／ let's slow this down for now

口语

I guess 弱读，cool it 连读，for a while 收轻。

Maybe we should cool it for a while and talk in spring. 也许我们先冷一冷，春天再谈。

把「菜单没什么好的」接成一句调情，尴尬场面被一句机灵救活。

I guess we'll just have to ..., won't we?

半开玩笑地接受一个无奈选择时用；对不熟的人可能显得轻佻。

Guess we'll have to be naughty then. ／ Looks like we're being bad today.

口语

I guess 弱读，just have to be bad 连读快过，won't we 上扬。

Then I guess we'll just have to splurge, won't we? 那看来我们只好奢侈一把了，对吧？
