at stake岌岌可危

先把请求压低成求助，再用 for God's sake 逼出实话，拒绝就像见死不救。

If you know something that may help ..., for God's sake tell me.

求人说出实情时用，先给理由再加一句急切；对不熟的人别加 for God's sake。

If you know anything, just tell me. ／ Whatever you know, say it now.

正式

重音落在 God's sake，tell it to me 放慢收尾。

If you know a doctor who can help her, for God's sake tell me tonight. 你要是认识能帮她的医生，今晚千万告诉我。

把 blink 从『眨眼』翻成『装没看见』，一句话说尽被仇人盯住的恐惧。

I cannot blink what I saw, for ... will not blink it.

说某件丑事瞒不住、对手不会放过时用；日常语气偏重，轻松场合少用。

I can't pretend I didn't see it. ／ I can't unsee what I saw.

literary

blink 前后各停半拍，重音放在两个 blink 上。

I cannot blink the mistake on the report, because the auditors will not blink it. 报告上的错误我没法装没看见，审计那边更不会放过。

先无条件接住最坏的可能，再亮出自己怕被突袭的处境，逼供像摊牌。

Whatever ... you have done, give me all of it now.

想让人一次说清全部实情时用，先承诺不追究；对下属或家人语气要稳。

Whatever you did, tell me everything now. ／ Give me the whole story, whatever it is.

正式

Whatever 抬调，give me all of it now 字字加重。

Whatever you changed in the code, give me all of it now before the demo. 你在代码里改了什么，演示前全告诉我。

两个分句一软一硬：先认跳舞，再用 I'll be whipped 把认罚说成骨气。

I'll be ...ed if I must be.

表态认错但不怕罚时用，语气倔强；正式检讨里别学这句硬顶。

I'll take the blame if I have to. ／ Punish me if that's the rule.

口语

分号前放平，and I'll be whipped 升调带劲。

I was late; write me up if you must. 我确实迟到了，要记过就记吧。
