take responsibility for承担责任

先给足敬意再亮出底线，一句把抗命说得既体面又不退让。

have no right to do something

对上位者拒绝越界要求时用；对平辈说会显得太重，日常别滥用。

You're not in a position to ask me that. ／ I'm afraid you can't ask me to do that.

正式

With all respect 放轻，have no right 重读，men 后停顿。

With respect, you have no right to make me sign this. 恕我直言，您无权逼我签这个。

用两个短问句把后果摊在对方面前，冷静得像在算账。

Supposing ... Then where will I be?

把风险反问回对方时用；朋友间这么问会显得较真，慎用。

Say you die—what happens to me? ／ And if you're gone, then what?

中性

Supposing 轻起，killed 降调，where will I be 上扬。

Supposing it fails. Then who answers for it? 万一失败了，那由谁来担责？

三个动词连成一道处分，一口气撤职、逮捕，权力感十足。

Hand over something and report yourself ...

下强硬指令、宣布处分时用；日常对同事这么说会得罪人。

Turn in your command and report to me at once. ／ Give up your post and come with me.

正式

Hand over 连成一词，arrest 重读，句尾降调收束。

Hand over your badge and report to security. 交出门禁卡，去保安那里报到。

同一句结构正反一对照，把冷酷的讽刺钉死在一句话里。

If X won't face A, they'll face B.

用对举句式下狠话时用；日常玩笑可用，真威胁场合绝对别用。

If they won't take the first option, they'll take the second. ／ If they won't listen to A, they'll answer to B.

口语

little sweethearts 带讥讽升调，French ones 重读收尾。

If they won't pay on time, they'll pay late fees. 他们要是不按时付款，就得交滞纳金。

两个分词短语冷冰冰并置，把溃败说成报告，不带一点情绪。

are ...ing, refusing to ...

做简报、汇报冲突时用；写私人消息会显得太官腔。

The men are holding back and won't move. ／ They're refusing to go over the top.

正式

mutinying 与 refusing 连读，advance 重读收句。

The crew are stalling, refusing to sign off. 施工队拖着不干，也不肯签字确认。
