beef with someone跟某人有梁子

把谎言拆到只剩两成假，反过来说真话反而更可怕。

Every ... has ... to it，每样东西里都带着…

聊到谎言或套路时能用；对刚被骗的人别这么轻描淡写地说。

中性

lie has 连读，80 percent 重读，句尾 It's scary 压低。

Every excuse he gives has some truth to it, which is what worries me. 他每个借口里都掺着点真话，这才让我担心。

五个词摊开最狠的家丑，不解释、不铺垫，刀子一样直接。

He was ... my wife，他背地跟我老婆…

当面揭穿背叛时用；公共场合或对长辈说会很难堪。

He was sleeping with my wife. ／ He was carrying on with my wife.

口语

He was 弱读，fucking 重音，my wife 干脆收住。

He was lying to my sister the whole time. 他一直在骗我妹妹。

把血案说成刮墙灰，冷到好笑的黑色幽默，一句顶一段惨状。

朋友间自嘲倒霉事时能用；对遇难者的家属千万别这么说。

They're still hosing him off the pavement. ／ They're still scraping him off the sidewalk.

口语

still 重读，scraping him off 连读，尾音放平像说闲事。

用一句客套的 It would seem 宣布撒手，越是礼貌越显得心凉。

中性

It would seem 连读轻快，my job is done 放慢加重。

It would seem my part in this is finished. 看样子我在这事里的部分已经完了。

一声挖苦的 ace 把追问变成挑衅，问题却真把剧情推向下一步。

What's the next move? Where do we go from here?

商量下一步、对同伴半开玩笑施压时能用；正式会议里别用 ace 这种称呼。

So what now, genius? ／ Where do we take it from here?

口语

next move 连读，ace 上扬，from here 收尾降调。

So what's the next move, boss? We can't wait all day. 那下一步怎么走，老大？我们不能干等一整天。

不骂一个脏字，只拿剃须刀点他的邋遢，损人损得又轻又准。

熟人之间取笑打扮或习惯时能用；对不熟的人或上级这样损会翻脸。

口语

There's a 连读，invention 重音，It's called 轻快带过。

There's a new invention. It's called an iron. 有个新发明，叫熨斗。
