be my guest请便

一句正经八百的夸奖落在扫街这件小事上，反差又好笑又心酸。

You are going to have the ...est ... in ...

夸人手艺好时用；跟不熟的人说会显得夸张，别在正经汇报里用。

You'll have the best-kept shop on the block. ／ You're going to have the tidiest desk in the office.

口语

重音落在 cleanest 和 Brooklyn，句尾往下收。

You are going to have the best-kept garden on the street. 你会拥有这条街上打理得最好的花园。

两句双重否定绕回来，把一辈子的退让和最后那点不服气都说透了。

Somebody don't bother nobody, and nobody don't bother somebody but you.

被人无端找茬、要自证清白时用；正式写作里要改成标准否定。

I don't bother anyone, and no one bothers me except you. ／ He never troubles nobody, and nobody troubles him but you.

口语

don't bother nobody 连读，but you 前稍停再重重落下。

She don't bother nobody, and nobody bothers her but the landlord. 她不招惹谁，除了房东也没人来招惹她。

先铺一句大爱，再把最不可能的那个人点出来，钝钝的却让人一软。

I love everybody. I even love ...

跟老朋友开玩笑式示好时能用；对刚认识的人说会显得唐突。

I like everybody, even you. ／ I get along with everyone, even you.

口语

even 要重读，you 拖长一点，带笑说。

I love all my students. I even love the troublemakers. 我爱我所有学生。连最闹腾的都爱。

把希望押到身后，用最丧的前提说最韧的善意，老头的骨气全在这一句。

We may both be ..., but you gonna be ...

用自嘲的远期限定来讨一句好话时用，熟人拌嘴可以，严肃场合别这么半真半假。

Even if it's at my funeral, you'll be civil. ／ One day, maybe too late, you'll be kind.

口语

dead and buried 连读，you gonna be nice 放慢。

We may both be old and gray, but you gonna be nice to me. 等咱俩都白头了，你总该对我客气点。
