Tess：No，you’re not！
Anna：Why not？
Tess：Because I said so！
英语中，像以上黑体词一样，实义词通常需要重读，而虚词则一般弱读，但有时也会出现特殊情况，例如上面节选的对话中，安娜说“Yes，I am！”时，为了强调“I”，就用了重读。另外，说话的力量有时不在声音高，也不在于语速快，有时突然放慢速度说话更显力量，如最后一句特丝说“Because I said so！”几乎是一词一顿地说出来，凸显特丝作为安娜的母亲高高在上的地位和威严。
对白二
After eating the fortune cookies，Tess and Anna went back home.When Tess woke up the next day，she found herself lying on the bed in Anna’s bedroom.
Tess：6：45 already.Oh，God，I didn’t get the dry cleaning.I’ll have to do that on the way home，and call the mechanic1 and the florist2.Okay，better get up.I’d better...Why am I in Anna’s room？What happened last night？Did I pass out3 in here？Oh，I have no memory of this！This isn’t mine！Those aren’t mine！That’s not mine.That’s definitely not mine.(looking at the mirror and seeing the face of Anna)Aah！
Harry：Anna，come here quick.
Tess：What？Harry：Mom’s dead.
Tess：(Murmuring)I’m dead？
Harry：Come on，hurry！（running together with Tess into the bedroom of Tess）See？She’s not moving.
Tess：Oh，my God.No，wait，it’s breathing.I’m not dead.
Harry：What？
Tess：Right.Her chest is moving，honey，see？
Harry：You called me“honey”？
Tess：Right...
Harry：Are you sick？
Tess：I hope so，or dreaming.Hon.Harry，go get your own breakfast.You can eat Anna’s cereal4.My cereal.
Harry：Cool.
Tess：Hello？Hello in there？Wake up，honey.Wake up.Wake up！That is it.
Anna：Oh.(Tess was trying hard to drag Anna out of her quit.)Oh，could I just have，like，one minute，please？
Tess：Honey.Look，I think something’s happened to us.
Anna：What are you？
Tess：It’s me.Mom.
Anna：You’re not my mother.
Tess：Yes，I am.
Anna：Get away，you clone freak5！
Tess：Don’t you use that tone with me.
Anna：(Realizing the tone of her mother)Oh，my God，you are my mother.And you’re not who you think you are.(looking at the mirror)Look at me！We seem to be inside each other.I’m old！Tess：I beg your pardon！
Anna：Oh，I’m like the Cryptkeeper6！
Tess：Okay，that’s enough.
Anna：Aah！I want my body back.
Tess：And I don’t want mine？My wedding’s tomorrow.Oh，my God！My wedding’s tomorrow.Anna：I can’t marry Ryan.Ew！
Tess：Okay.Okay，okay，okay.
Anna：Okay what？
Tess：I have no idea.
Anna：Mom，maybe we should go to the emergency room7.
Tess：Oh，no.All that will get us is a 72-hour lockdown in the psych ward8 and a Thorazine9 drip10.No，we’re not going anywhere.
Anna：Okay.So you’re in my body，and I’m in your body.Why don’t we，like...(clapping her hands)Tess：Yes，yes，I see what you’re saying.A jolt11.Okay.You go over there，and I go over here.(running to the either side of the room with Anna)Okay，now when I say go.Ready？
Anna：Yeah.
Tess：Go.They dashed towards each other and crashed together heavily，screaming in great hurt，only to find neither of them changed back.Just at that time，Harry emerged at the door.
Harry：Hey，Mom，can I…？
Tess：Okay.Okay，that was stupid.Harry！I was just teaching Mom some new dance moves.
Anna：What do you want，punk12？(making threatening faces，unaware of her present new image of“mom”)Harry was apparently scared and ran away‘cause he didn’t expect his mom spoke to him in such a hateful tone.
Tess：You cannot talk to him like that.He thinks you’re his mother.
Anna：We’re gonna to have to tell him.
Tess：We’re not going to tell anyone.They’ll think we’re crazy.
Anna：Maybe we are crazy.
Tess：I for one13 am not crazy.I’m merely a grown woman trapped in my daughter’s body.(Seeing the doubtfulness and helplessness in the eyes of another self，she felt at the end of the rope and didn’t hold on anymore.)Oh，God，I am crazy.
