pressing business更要紧的事

打人还要给个台阶，把暴力说成日程，冷得吓人。

You're lucky I have more pressing business.

半玩笑半威胁地放过对方时用；正式场合说会像耍人。

Consider yourself lucky I'm busy. ／ You got off easy because I have elsewhere to be.

口语

lucky I 连读，pressing business 两个词都重读。

You're lucky I have more pressing business, or we'd still be talking. 算你走运我还有事，不然咱俩还没完。

把烂摊子丢给别人还说得像体贴，甩锅甩得很滑。

I'm going to leave you to it.

把难事交给别人、自己抽身时用；对上司说会显得推责。

I'll leave you to it. ／ I'll let you three sort it out.

口语

going to 缩成 gonna，leave you 连读，句尾放平。

I'm going to leave you to it and head home. 这事儿交给你，我先回家了。

把偷袭说成一种本事，威胁里还带着得意。

You're not going to see it coming.

放狠话说对方会措手不及时用；玩笑场合也太冲。

You won't even see it coming. ／ It'll be over before you notice.

口语

aren't going to 连成 ain't gonna，see 重读。

You're not going to see this play coming. 这球你根本来不及反应。

把对方说过的话原样递回去，用一句反问堵住所有狡辩。

Isn't that what you said to me?

对方改口不认账、你要当面戳穿他时用；对刚认识的人这样说会像故意找茬。

Isn't that what you told me? ／ That's what you said, isn't it?

口语

that what you 连读成一气，said to me 放慢压住。

Isn't that what you promised in the meeting? 那不是你在会上答应的吗？
