美國紐約消防員哈迪森（Patrick Hardison）在十五年前救火時嚴重受傷致毀容，多年來接受多達71次手術，不斷服食止痛藥，家庭生活盡毀，直到去年他接受歷來最大範圍的面部移植手術重過新生，見傳媒時說了一句「The road to recovery has been long and hard, if I had the opportunity to do it again, I’d do it in a heartbeat」。

哈迪森的意思是指復康之路漫長而艱辛，但如果再有一次手術機會，他會毫不猶豫，在香港人口語當中即是「諗都唔使諗」，形容一個人十分果斷，沒有半點遲疑。要表達當機立斷，除了哈德森所講的「In a heart beat」，英文還有其他講法。
- In a heartbeat

兩位總統候選須互相說對方正面的事，希拉莉大笑想也沒想就回應：「我尊重他（特朗普）的孩子，他們很光榮也很忠誠。我不同意他所有說的話，但作為母親和外婆，這對我非常重要。」

Hillary Clinton laughed and replied first without hesitation, “I respect his children, they are incredibly honourable and devoted, I don't agree with everything he says but as a mother and grandmother that is very important to me.”
