come to find out事后才知道

磅数和学名把巨兽变成一个具体的问题，不是空喊勇敢。

How do you prepare yourself for...?

难事当前，用来问自己或同伴准备了什么；别拿去逼刚受惊的人。

How do you get ready for...? ／ What does it take to face...?

中性

重音放在 prepare 和数字上，问号轻轻往上送。

多年经验刚被说成铁门槛，这句口头禅拆掉的是自己原先的硕士预想。

Come to find out, it is more about...

跟朋友讲预期翻车时用；向客户介绍规章、写正式说明别用。

Turns out, it was more about... ／ It turned out to be less about...

口语

前四个词快带过，personality 上停一下。

Come to find out, the night shift cared who stayed late, not who wrote the cleaner plan. 后来才发现，夜班看的是谁留到最后，不是谁的计划写得更干净。

不说有点紧张，整句把怕说到判断力都飞了的程度。

I was scared out of my wits.

跟熟人讲第一次吓破胆；写报告或对上级只说自己很紧张。

I was scared to death. ／ I was frightened out of my mind.

口语

Oh 轻出，scared 加重，句尾收住别上扬。

I was scared out of my wits when that truck swung into my lane. 那辆卡车拐进我的车道时，我吓得不知道方向盘该往哪打。

home 从房子挪进眼睛，对视就变成里面有人。

When you..., you know...

感叹眼神里忽然有个谁时说；问人在不在家、谈房子别用。

You can tell someone is in there. ／ There's a person behind those eyes.

literary

eyes 后面停一拍，home 落下去。

不夸鲸好不好，只用从未有过给多年相处下判断。

It's a ... like I've never had.

中性

relationship 拉长，never had 稍快后轻收。

It's a friendship like I've never had, even with the years we didn't call. 就算多年没打电话，这也是我从没碰到过的那种友谊。
