get rid of除掉

把杀人说成让一个小点停下来，轻描淡写里全是寒意。

Would you really ... if ...?

要逼对方承认自己并不在乎时用；开会或安慰人时别用这种冷酷假设。

Would you honestly care if that happened? ／ If that were gone forever, would it bother you?

中性

would you 连读，pity 重读，if 从句放慢收住。

Would you really feel bad if we just dropped that plan? 要是我们干脆放弃那个计划，你真会觉得难过吗？

一句就把英雄主义按了下去，也预告了两个人的分道扬镳。

The world doesn't make any ...

对相信理想的人泼冷水时用；劝人上进或正式演讲里不要这样用。

Nobody hands out medals for this. ／ Heroes don't grow on trees.

口语

doesn't 轻读，heroes 重读，句尾拖长留白。

The world doesn't make any shortcuts for people like us. 这世道不会给我们这种人什么捷径。

反话正说，把有钱也救不了你说得又冷又俏皮。

A lot of good X will do you.

挖苦对方白费心思时用；对长辈或谈正事时别甩这种反话。

Much good that money will do you. ／ That cash won't help you where you're going.

口语

a lot of 连读，good 重读，jail 压低收尾。

A lot of good that umbrella will do you in this wind. 这么大的风，你带把伞有什么用。

末尾的 do you 像盖章，把一句陈述钉成躲不掉的质问。

You don't ..., do you?

要逼对方表态、当面拆穿时用；跟不熟的人这样问会显得冒犯。

You really couldn't care less about her, could you? ／ You don't give a damn about Anna, do you?

口语

don't care 连读，at all 重读，do you 尾音稍扬。

You don't care about the team at all, do you? 你压根儿就不在乎这个团队，是不是？

用一句平静的技术判断，把杀人威胁说到骨头里。

I don't think they'd ... after you ...

含蓄地警告对方时用；开玩笑或正式场合都别套用这种威胁。

I doubt anyone would check for a bullet after the fall. ／ They won't be looking for a gunshot wound down there.

口语

don't think 弱读，bullet wound 连读，that ground 放慢。

I don't think they'd look for a dent after you drop that box. 你把那箱子摔下去，我想没人会去查有没有磕痕。
