welcome us with open arms张开双臂欢迎

把错过就没有说成一句压下来的断言，越平静越重。

this ... not gonna get another chance

劝家人抓住机会时用，语气沉；对已经放弃的人别用，像在逼他。

We won't get a chance like this again. ／ There's no second shot at this.

口语

not gonna 连读成 g'nna，another chance 重读，not now 干脆收住。

My son won't get another chance like that, so I told him to say yes. 我儿子不会再有那样的机会了，所以我让他答应。

不解释、不迂回，把最软的心愿说得像命令一样直接。

I want + 人/物 + with me

对最亲的人表态时用，直接又暖；对普通同事别这么说，会显得越界。

I want you here with me. ／ I just want us all together.

中性

I want 连读成 I-want，my family 轻轻带过，with me 放慢加重。

I want my parents with me when the baby arrives. 孩子出生时，我想让父母在我身边。

用认识每条街代替我舍不得，把归属感藏进日常里。

we've known + 地点 + all our lives

谈家乡、老地方时用，带怀念；对不熟的人别用，太私密。

We've lived on this street all our lives. ／ This street has been home since we were kids.

中性

We've known 连读，every street 略快，all our lives 放慢收尾。

We've known this shop and everyone in it all our lives. 这家店和店里的人，我们认识了一辈子。

一句话把几十年的交情摆上桌，劝人留下时最软也最有分量的一句。

You and me, we've known each other since ...

跟老友追忆交情、劝对方别走时能用；对刚认识的人这样说会让人莫名其妙，别用。

We've known each other since we were kids. ／ You and I go back to when we were tiny.

中性

You and me 并列重读，since 弱读，toddlers 尾音轻收。

We've known each other since we were in school together. 我们上学那会儿就认识了。
