live out of something拎着一只箱子过活

一句把自信和俏皮绑在一起：用自己懂不懂女人来给判断背书。

That couldn't have been X, or I don't know Y.

熟人之间用来自信下判断时用；对陌生人说会显得自负。

That can't be her, or I know nothing. ／ I'd bet anything that wasn't her.

口语

couldn't have been 连读，or 前停一下，重音落 women。

That couldn't have been his real voice, or I don't know accents. 那不可能是他的真嗓子，否则就算我不懂口音。

不直接说自己对，而是想象对方听后的表情，得意全在画面里。

I'd like to see someone's face when ...

等着看别人被戳穿时的反应时用；当面这么讲带点挑衅。

I want to see his face when he hears this. ／ I'd love to watch him find out.

口语

I'd like to 轻读，friend's face 连读，句末降调。

I'd like to see his face when the numbers come out. 等数据出来，我倒想看看他的脸色。

把自己的特长当筹码做买卖，调情和推理一句说完。

X for Y (trade offer)

半开玩笑地提交换条件时用；认真谈条件这么说不合适。

My secret for your sofa tonight. ／ I'll swap my talents for a place to stay.

口语

feminine intuition 连读，for a 轻带，重音落 bed。

My cooking for your parking spot tonight. 今晚用我做的饭换你的车位。

听着楼里的歌打趣，一句反问把爱情和孤独都点了一下。

Where does someone get + 名词 + to do ...?

半开玩笑地追问某事的来历时用；不是真提问，正式场合不要滥用。

Where do you find inspiration for that? ／ What makes a person write a song like that?

中性

Where does a 连读，inspiration 重音在 ra，song like that 轻收。

Where do people get the nerve to sing that at a wedding? 谁给他们的胆子在婚礼上唱那首歌？
