go figure你说怪不怪

把丧事和一顿饭摆在一起，不喊冤不流泪，恨意全在细节里。

My ... is dead. The guys that did it are ...,人没了，凶手却还在…

讲不公、要下决心讨回公道时能用；对刚失去亲人的人别这样讲。

She's dead, and the men who did it are eating dinner. ／ They killed her and went out for a meal.

口语

girl's dead 连读，eating chicken marsala 放慢、咬字清楚。

My dog is gone, and the guys who hit it are at the bar laughing. 我的狗没了，撞它的人还在酒吧里有说有笑。

一句马场行话把疲惫说成活物，画面感强，比「我很累」狠多了。

I feel like I've been ...，我感觉自己像被…

熟人之间夸张地说自己累惨了时能用；正式场合或对长辈说会显得随便。

I feel like I've been run ragged. ／ I've been ridden hard and left out to dry.

口语

feel like 连读，rode hard 重读，put away wet 收得低。

After that double shift, I feel like I've been rode hard and put away wet. 连上两个班之后，我感觉自己像被折腾散架了。

用遛狗的画面说死缠不放，损人损得形象又好笑。

You're like a dog with a ...，你就像条盯着…的狗

熟人之间笑对方不肯放手时能用；对不熟的人说会显得冒犯。

You're like a dog with a bone. ／ You latch on like a puppy with a toy.

口语

like a dog 连读，Frisbee 重音在第一音节。

You're like a dog with a Frisbee when it comes to that game. 一玩起那游戏，你就像条叼着飞盘的狗。

把秘密压成一句最短的威胁，凶话后面其实藏着不好意思。

You tell anybody, I'll ...,你敢说出去，我就…

朋友之间交代秘密时半开玩笑地警告能用；对陌生人这么说会像真威胁。

Tell anyone and I'll kill you. ／ If you tell, you're dead.

口语

You tell 连读，anybody 重读，I'll kill you 压低收。

You tell anybody I cried, I'll kill you. 你敢跟别人说我哭了，我就杀了你。

三连短句像机关枪，孩子的刻薄和亲密全在这串外貌清单里。

His ... is too ..., His ... are too ...，他…太…

跟熟人打趣长相时能用；对在意容貌的人说会真伤人。

His head is too big. His chin is too small. ／ His hair sticks up and his ears stick out.

口语

too pointy 重读，beady 短促，too big 拖一下收。

His beard is too long. His glasses are too round. 他胡子太长，眼镜太圆。
