keep your shirt on别激动

一句俏皮话把探长的凶相化成笑话，紧张里透出老太太的镇定。

He must've gotten out of the wrong side of the bed.

调侃别人一早脾气差时说；对正在发火的上司别当面用。

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. ／ He's in a mood this morning.

口语

must've gotten 连读，wrong side 重读，morning 收平。

She must've gotten out of the wrong side of the bed today. 她今天准是起床起错了边。

一句夸张把搜查推上顶点，火药和阴谋一起被说满。

enough gunpowder 连读，blow up 重读，town 收尾下压。

全家被抓还当成看戏，一句话写尽这家人的荒唐与天真。

It's just like X, isn't it?

把眼前的乱局比作别的东西来打圆场时用；别人正着急时这么说会显得没心没肺。

just like a 连读，play 拉长，isn't it 轻声上扬。

It's just like a wedding, isn't it? 这简直像场婚礼，是吧？

被冒犯时的经典台词，一句话把身份和怒气一起亮出来。

Do you realize who I am?

场合：真被无礼对待时表达抗议，或模仿那种摆架子的语气；对朋友开玩笑能用，对服务人员千万别这么说。

This is absurd. Do you know who you're talking to? ／ Do you have any idea who I am?

正式

outrageous 重读，who I am 逐词顿开。

This is ridiculous. Do you realize who you're shoving? 这太荒唐了。你知道你在推谁吗？
