out of order越界失礼

一句玩笑话把汤米最羞辱的过去摆上桌，也正是全片翻脸的引信。

If I was gonna ..., I'd say ...

先假设再放狠话、半开玩笑地警告时用；真惹人生气时别拿往事开刀。

If I wanted to insult you, I'd bring that up. ／ If I meant it, you'd know by now.

口语

I was gonna 连读，shine box 两词顿开，冷笑收尾。

If I was gonna tease you, I'd mention the karaoke night. 我要是想损你，就会提那晚唱歌的事。

同一件事从玩笑变成命令，句子短促、全无笑意，翻脸只在一步之间。

Go home and get ...

气到极点下逐客令时用；对人吼这句等于把关系彻底撕破。

Go on, get out of here. ／ Go home and stay there.

口语

Go home 重读，shine box 咬清，句尾下沉不留情面。

Go home and get some sleep before you say more. 回家睡一觉再说，别再说了。

一句粗话把六年的代价和理直气壮都说尽，出狱的人要的不是安慰而是本钱。

I did my time.

强调自己已经付出代价、要求回报时用；轻描淡写对别人说会显得不敬。

I served my time. ／ I paid for what I did.

口语

did my time 三词一顿，Jimmy 放轻，语气硬。

I did my time, so let me back on the team. 该受的我都受了，让我回队里吧。

前半句是索要，后半句用孩子的嘴做理由，把野心说得理直气壮。

I got mouths to feed.

说明自己必须挣钱、动力来自家庭时用；用它给不当手段开脱就过了。

I have a family to feed. ／ There are people depending on me.

中性

mouths to feed 连读，feed 重读，停顿在逗号处。

I work overtime because I have mouths to feed. 我加班是因为家里有几张嘴等着吃饭。
