spotless mind纯洁无瑕的心灵

一句就把两个人说走就走的莽撞和信任说尽，明知没方向也照样开心。

I don't even know ..., but it's gonna be fun.

对朋友、恋人提议冒险时能用；正事汇报或对不熟的人别说。

I have no idea where we're headed, but it'll be fun. ／ Not sure where we're going, but who cares?

口语

don't even 连读，gonna 缩读，句尾 fun 轻轻上扬。

I don't even know the route, but it's gonna be fun. 我连路线都不知道，不过肯定好玩。

把仰慕藏在「工作」后面，一句奉承说得体面又不露骨。

I really admire the work you do.

对上级、前辈表达敬意时用；对平辈朋友说会显得客套生分。

I've always admired the work you do. ／ I really respect what you do.

正式

really 重读，work you do 连读，Howard 放轻收尾。

I really admire the work you do on these reports. 我真的很钦佩你写这些报告下的功夫。

七个词把多年暗恋一次说破，时态本身就在替她交代时间。

I've loved you for a very long time.

终于向对方告白时用；没什么分量或场合不对，别用这么重的说法。

I've been in love with you for years. ／ I've loved you longer than you know.

中性

I've 轻读，loved you 连读，for a very long time 放慢加重。

I've waited for you for a very long time. 我已经等你很久了。

一句「不该说」把话已出口的懊悔说尽，比连声道歉更有分寸。

I shouldn't have + 过去分词.

意识到自己说错话、想收回时用；正式场合可换成更书面的 I regret saying that。

I shouldn't have said it. ／ I wish I hadn't said that.

口语

shouldn't have 连读成 shouldn-ta，said that 连读收轻。

I shouldn't have said that to her in front of everyone. 我不该当着大家的面跟她说那些。
