bull in a china shop横冲直撞

把长期抗癌的累说成一个持续动作，恐惧成了会把人卷走的东西。

I'm constantly fighting to not ...

向人坦白自己长期硬撑、怕被情绪吞掉时用，正式汇报别这么说。

I'm always trying not to be swallowed by it. ／ I keep fighting not to get pulled under.

中性

constantly 重读，fighting to 连读，句尾 of it all 放轻。

I'm constantly fighting not to let the panic take over. 我一直在撑着，不让恐慌把我吞掉。

answers 与 space 一前一后，把没有答案、也没空消化的困境并成一句。

I haven't got any ... and I haven't got any ...

说自己既没答案又没时间消化时用；对上级交代工作别这么讲。

I've got no answers and no room to think. ／ I don't have answers, and no space to take them in.

中性

haven't got any 连读，两个 any 都轻读，and 一带而过。

I haven't got any clear answers and no space to think them through. 我还没有明确的答案，也没空把它们想清楚。

一句把决定权交回对方，又把陪伴说满，短却重。

I will support whatever you ...

对家人或伴侣的重大选择表态时用；职场里说会显得越界。

Whatever you decide, I'm with you. ／ I'll back whatever you choose.

中性

will 重读表承诺，whatever you 连读，choose 尾音收干脆。

I will support whatever you decide about the move. 搬不搬家你怎么定，我都支持。

把病痛里最朴素的愿望说得干干净净，六个词里有疲惫、有依赖，也有对正常生活的全部想念。

I just want to go home.

人在病中或累极时用，语气要低；开玩笑说会显得轻慢，别用。

I only want to get home. ／ All I want is to be home.

中性

I just want to 连读带过，go home 放慢，home 轻轻收住。

After three flights in one day, I just want to go home. 一天飞了三趟，我只想回家。

两句大白话把疼和束手无策一起说尽，没有修饰，反而最让人听见那种无路可走。

I feel so much pain. I don't know what to do.

描述身体或情绪的极限时用，适合倾诉；在正式场合说会让人不知如何接，别用。

It hurts so much and I'm lost. ／ The pain is huge and I have no idea what to do.

中性

I feel so much pain 放慢加重，I don't know what to do 连读压低收住。

I feel so much pressure. I don't know what to do. 我压力太大了，我不知道该怎么办。
