authorized personnel获授权人员

用两个官腔词把门关死，拒绝里透着小人物照章办事的硬气。

Only authorized personnel are allowed in.

拒绝没资格的人进入时用；对朋友这样讲会显得打官腔。

Only staff are allowed in here. ／ Entry is for authorized personnel only.

正式

Only 和 authorized 重读，rules and regulations 放平收尾。

Only authorized personnel are allowed in during the shoot. 拍摄期间只有授权人员才能进去。

顺着对方的荒唐自称往下演，一句玩笑把对方的自大照得透亮。

You'll recognize + 名词

顺着对方吹牛往下接玩笑时用；真需要认真答复的场合别这样。

You'll recognize it when you see it. ／ Your seat is easy to spot.

口语

throne 拖长一点，recognize 重读，句尾轻落。

You'll recognize my car; it's the loudest one here. 你肯定认得出我的车，这儿就它最响。

用一句反问把对方的盘问顶回去，荒唐里带着几分自嘲。

Does that make me + 名词?

被人无端联想、想问一句「这就算了吗」时用；正式场合要收敛。

Does that make me an expert now? ／ Am I suddenly a criminal for that?

口语

two years、two in 各稍作停顿，反问句尾上扬。

I read one book on finance. Does that make me a banker? 我看了一本理财书。这就算银行家了？

被盘问时的重复加上一个煞有介事的书名，执拗和自封的身份全在这句里。

a book called ...

向不信任你的人重申来历或作品时用，面试、投稿可以，别人已明确拒绝后别反复纠缠。

Like I said, I'm the author of The Vanishing Siberian Tiger. ／ I wrote a book, The Vanishing Siberian Tiger.

中性

I told you 重读，The Vanishing Siberian Tiger 逐词咬清。

I told you. I wrote a book called The Long Winter. 我说过了。我写过一本书，叫《漫长寒冬》。
