looks can be deceiving外表会骗人

把「你拿我当傻子」当面挑明，直白又带刺，怀疑全在句子里。

You must think that I'm some kind of ... to ...

当面拆穿对方觉得你好骗时用；对长辈或上司这样说会很冲。

You must take me for a fool. ／ Do you think I'd fall for that?

口语

must think 连读，some kind of 一气呵成，句尾收住。

You must think I'm some kind of fool to believe that excuse. 你肯定当我是傻子，才会信那套借口。

用「捋一捋」开场，把不耐烦和要追到底的劲头说得地道。

Let me get this straight, ...

要对方把话说明白、准备追问时用；正式谈判里也能用。

Let me make sure I've got this right. ／ So let me get this clear.

中性

get this 连读，cos I'm 轻读带过，straight 后略停。

Let me get this straight, you cancelled the order yesterday? 我确认一下，你昨天取消了订单？

一句命令式的威胁，乡下口吻的 what you done 让语气更硬。

You better show me what you ...

强硬要求对方交代、带点威胁时用；对平辈或下属才敢这么说。

You'd better show me what you did with her. ／ Take me to her, now.

口语

better 弱读成 bettuh，what you done 连成一串。

You better show me what you did with my bike. 你最好带我去看看你把我的车怎么了。

先下结论再补一句反问，长辈式训话的压迫感全在句尾。

I told you to ..., but you just didn't listen, did you?

事后数落对方不听劝时用；朋友间半开玩笑也行，对上级不行。

I warned you, and you didn't listen. ／ I told you so, didn't I?

口语

stay away from 连读，didn't listen 快读，句尾上扬。

I told you to sleep early, but you just didn't listen, did you? 我让你早点睡，你就是不听，是吧？

拒绝、确认、定罪三连击，怒火一层比一层高。

You are not putting this on me! This is your fault.

被人甩锅、当场翻脸时用；情绪很冲，正式场合别用。

Don't you dare blame this on me. ／ I'm not taking the blame for this.

口语

putting this on me 连读，understand me 加重，fault 落重音。

You are not putting this on me; it was your call. 你别把这事赖我头上，那是你决定的。

把一条人命怪到「陪小孩玩桌游」上，荒诞又残忍，比骂人更扎心。

If you hadn't been ..., we would have had ...

事后指责对方当初若不做某事结果会不同时用；很伤人，慎用。

If you hadn't been so busy, we'd have had time. ／ This wouldn't have happened if you'd helped.

口语

hadn't been 连读，would have 缩成 would've，beam 前略停。

If you hadn't been watching TV, we would have left on time. 要不是你在看电视，我们本来能准时出门。
