one way or the other不管用哪种方式

三个短句层层加码，把逃命的狠话一路推到改邪归正，节奏像口号。

We'll ... . We'll ... . We'll ...!

鼓动同伴立决心时用；对正沮丧的人喊口号会显得不近人情。

We'll wear him down and then walk away clean. ／ We'll outlast them and change our lives.

口语

三个 We'll 逐句加重，go straight 拉高收尾。

We'll fix the bugs. We'll ship on time. We'll win this! 咱们把漏洞修完。咱们按时发布。咱们赢下这一仗！

把对手的耐心描成一张网，一句就写清他们为什么无处可逃。

He'll wait for us to ..., then ...

分析对手会怎么出手时用；对当事人说会显得唱衰。

He'll wait until we slip, then move in. ／ They'll hold back and strike when we're slow.

中性

wait for us 连读，pull a job 与 like before 略停。

They'll wait for us to make a mistake, then take the deal. 他们会等我们出错，然后抢走这笔生意。

用抱怨的口气说出最偏僻的评价，既埋下伏笔又满是当地幽默。

You couldn't have picked a more ... place.

调侃地方偏僻难找时用；对当地人说会显得嫌弃。

You couldn't have found a remoter spot. ／ This is as far off the map as it gets.

中性

couldn't have 连读，out of the way 重读，句尾降调。

You couldn't have picked a more out of the way place for a wedding. 办婚礼你再也挑不出比这更偏僻的地方了。

一句大实话揭穿差事，穷得坦荡反而格外好笑。

Because I cannot promise to ...

坦白条件有限、先小人后君子时用；正式合同别只靠口头这句，要写清楚。

Because I can't guarantee the pay. ／ The catch is, I can't promise payment.

中性

Because 轻起，cannot 重读，promise to pay 连读后收住。

Because I cannot promise you a fixed schedule. 因为我没法保证给你固定时间。
