good riddance谢天谢地

一句对仗把「自视」和「他评」劈开，骂人不带脏字却最狠。

You may be X to yourself, but to me you're Y.

当面戳破别人自以为是时用；对客户或长辈说会撕破脸。

You may think you're somebody, but you're not. ／ You see yourself as a winner; I see a failure.

中性

high mogul 重读，but to me 停顿，failure 收得干脆。

You may be a genius to yourself, but to me you're careless. 你也许自认是天才，可在我眼里你就是马虎。

三个 failure 层层加码，最后砸在「父亲」上，节奏像三记重锤。

a failure as a X

批评别人失职时用；对家人或同事说，基本等于翻脸。

He failed as a boss and as a friend. ／ A failure at work and at home.

literary

每句 a failure 重读，even 前略停，father 压轴。

He was a failure as a leader and as a colleague. 他做领导失败，做同事也失败。

用「一滴眼泪」量一个人的一生，冷静得让人发凉。

When your time comes, I doubt if ...

说一个人众叛亲离时用；当着当事人说非常重，别轻易出口。

When you go, I doubt anyone will cry. ／ Nobody will weep when your time comes.

literary

When your time comes 放慢，single tear 重读，over you 轻收。

When his time comes, I doubt if many will shed a tear. 等他走的那天，我怀疑没几个人会掉泪。

把对方最在意的钱翻过来用：越有钱，人越穷。

You're poorer than any of these people that you call ...

场合：被有钱人羞辱、要当面还击时用；对朋友之间少用，除非对方真的欠骂。

You're poorer than the people you look down on. ／ All that money and you're still the poorest man here.

正式

poorer 和 scum 都重读，中间平稳带过。

You're poorer than any of these people that you laugh at. 你比你嘲笑的那些人还要穷。
