drop out退学

一句话把关系讲透：你为我做的，我也为你做，这就是我们的相处方式。

that's what we do for X

想讲明彼此扶持的关系时能用；对泛泛之交别用，免得交浅言深。

That's how we look out for each other ／ You had my back, so I've got yours

中性

两个 that's 都弱读，重音落在 did 和 do

You helped me when I was broke, and that's what we do for each other. 我手头紧时你帮过我，我们就是这样互相照应。

先承认你的选择，再亮明我的态度，不让步也给你留了面子。

I'm not gonna let you X

劝人别打退堂鼓时能用；先听完对方再表态，别一上来就否定。

If that's your call, I still won't let you give up ／ You can be done, but not like this

口语

Listen 后一顿，really 重读，quit 收得干脆

If you really want to switch majors, I'm not gonna let you quit without trying. 你要真想换专业，我也不会让你试都不试就放弃。

短句砸下来，把态度变成命令，没给对方还嘴的余地。

We are not quitting

团队或家人在低谷里定调时能用；对上级或生人别这么说，太硬。

We don't quit ／ Giving up is not on the table

口语

not quitting 重读，understand 上扬

We are not quitting, not with a quarter left to play. 比赛还剩一节，我们不放弃。

五个词就把借东西的承诺说满，语气诚实又急，配上暴风雪格外有分量。

I'll bring it right back.

向店家或邻居借东西时能用；借贵重东西还这么说会显得轻率，别用。

I'll have it back to you in no time. ／ I promise I'll return it right away.

中性

I'll 短促，bring it 连读，right back 两个词都咬重。

I'll bring the drill right back as soon as I finish. 我用完马上就把电钻还回来。
