make the call拍板

把 President 重复两遍，权力归属钉得无可推诿，是最硬的一句军令。

X comes from Y and Y only

要把决定权明确归到某一个人时用；日常商量别这么说，太硬。

Only the President can give that order. ／ That call belongs to the President alone.

正式

President 重读，and the President only 放慢加重收尾。

Final approval comes from the manager and the manager only. 最终批准只能来自经理，别人都不行。

命令里带 do everything you can，既压任务又不规定做法，是紧急时刻的典型口气。

do everything you can to do something

把难任务交给别人、又不想定死做法时用；对上司别说，像在指挥他。

Do whatever it takes to get through. ／ Use everything you have to open the line.

正式

need you to 连读，everything you can 一气呵成，open 收尾别拖。

Do everything you can to get the file approved today. 尽一切办法让这份文件今天批下来。

用 board 指整块雷达屏，一句话把紧迫感铺满整个屏幕，一个都不能漏。

get something on every one of something

讲必须全面覆盖、一个都别漏时用；日常闲聊这样说会显得夸张。

We need fighters on every single target. ／ Every blip on that board needs a jet.

口语

gotta 吞音，jets on 连读，board 重读收尾。

We need eyes on every one of those cameras. 那些摄像头每一路都得有人盯着。

先替对方卸下责任，再开口求人，是求人办事最标准的软硬两手。

I know it's not your job, but ...

请本职之外的人帮忙时用；对方正忙或地位更高，就先寒暄再开口。

I know this isn't on you, but I'd appreciate the help. ／ It's not your task, but could you try anyway?

口语

I know it's 连读，but 后停半拍，what you can 收得干脆。

I know it's not your job, but could you cover my shift? 我知道这不是你的活儿，能帮我顶个班吗？

用 all I'm up for 把力不从心说得轻描淡写，老兵的疲惫全落在这句闲话里。

something is all I'm up for

说自己精力只够做某件小事时用；对刚认识的人说会显得没精神。

These days golf is about all I can manage. ／ I haven't got the energy for much else.

中性

pretty much 连读，up for 轻读，now 降调收尾。

in some way 留了个口子，把不舍和将就一起说了出来。

I had to keep doing something in some way

讲自己怎样想方设法留住一件爱好时用；正式履历里别这么随意。
