take over the cockpit接管驾驶舱

前半句承认不知，后半句照旧下判断，急得实在。

I have no idea who it was. I think we have a ... here.

在没搞清细节却必须表态时用；正式报告里要写具体依据。

I don't know who it was. We may have a problem here. ／ No idea who that was, but something is wrong.

中性

I have no idea 连读，hijack situation 重音落在 hijack。

I have no idea who sent it. I think we have a leak here. 我不知道是谁发的。我看我们这儿是泄密了。

一句追问逼出证据，把轻率的判断按在桌上。

What makes you think ...?

想追问别人判断依据时用；语气偏硬，对上级要缓和些。

What makes you say that? ／ Why do you think it's a hijacker?

中性

makes you 连读成 makes-ya，think 重读，句尾上扬。

What makes you think he's lying? 你凭什么觉得他在撒谎？

一句带火的辩解，凭的是亲耳听见，压不住的急。

I heard the ... in my ear, okay?

被人质疑、急着证明自己亲历时用；加 okay? 有火气，别对客户说。

I heard it myself, all right? ／ I heard him in my headset, okay?

口语

heard the guy 连读，okay 尾音上扬带点急。

I saw it with my own eyes, okay? 那是我亲眼看见的，行吗？

半句话加一声感叹，把「劫机」这个词的时代感带出来。

Haven't seen that in years.

感叹很久没遇到某事时用；随便闲聊很自然，正式场合少用。

I haven't heard that in years. ／ It's been ages since we saw one.

口语

Haven't seen 连读，in years 拖长收尾。

I haven't seen him in years. 我好多年没见过他了。

用一句回忆把异常变成历史，反而更让人发冷。

When was the last time we had ...?

回忆久未发生的事时用；问长辈可以换成 When did we last...。

When did we last deal with a hijack? ／ How long has it been since a hijack?

中性

last time 连读，we had 弱读，句尾上扬。

When was the last time we had a big storm like this? 我们上次遇上这么大的暴风雨是什么时候？
