有些童鞋最不會(huì)拒絕人了，就算心里想著say No，嘴上還是說了Yes，用中文不會(huì)，用英語(yǔ)就更不會(huì)了。但是，有些人、有些事是不得不拒絕的。今天小編就跟大家分享一下，外國(guó)人面對(duì)邀請(qǐng)、嘮叨和請(qǐng)求時(shí)，都是如何有禮貌地拒絕的呢？

1、如何拒絕邀請(qǐng)

你要做的事情就是：
1)說出感謝
2)說“不”
3)給出理由

還有可能：
4)建議其他時(shí)間或日期

舉個(gè)例子
Thank you so much for the invitation, but I'm afraid I have a prior engagement.
非常感謝您的邀請(qǐng)，但我已經(jīng)有約了。

更正式一些
Thanks for the invitation!I'm really sorry, I can't come - I've already got other plans.
感謝您的邀請(qǐng)！不過很抱歉我不能來，因?yàn)槲乙延?jì)劃了其他事情。

還可以說
I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can't.Would another time be possible?
我很想去，不過恐怕不行?？梢該Q個(gè)時(shí)間嗎？

I'm very sorry, but I won't be able to make it.Another time would be great, though!
很抱歉，我無法去。要是換個(gè)時(shí)間就太好了！

It's a lovely idea, but I won't be able to join you this time.
好主意，但我這次無法參加了。 T

hat's very kind of you, but …
您太好了，不過...

Could I join you later?I just have to finish something.
我可以稍后加入你們嗎？我必須先完成一些事情。

Today's not so good - how about tomorrow?
今天不太合適，明天如何？

2、如何打斷嘮叨

如果對(duì)方喋喋不休，自說自話，而你又有別的想法，不如這樣打斷對(duì)方：
I understand what you're getting at, but (I'm just not interested/I just can't /it just won't be possible) at the moment.
我了解你所說的事情，只是我現(xiàn)在（不感興趣/無法去/不可能去）。

或者直呼其名來強(qiáng)調(diào)語(yǔ)氣
Look, Michael, I'm sorry, but it's just not going to be possible at the moment.
邁克爾，實(shí)在抱歉，但是現(xiàn)在確實(shí)不可能。

3、如何拒絕請(qǐng)求

如果有人求你幫忙，但你實(shí)在無法幫ta，那么試試這么說：
I'd like to help you but I can't take on any new commitments at the moment, I'm afraid.
我很想幫助你，但現(xiàn)在恐怕無法再增加任何新任務(wù)了。

給予Ta信心，鼓勵(lì)Ta獨(dú)立完成
Actually, I think this is something you could do really well yourself!
事實(shí)上，我覺得您完全可以自己做好！

Why not have a go yourself, and give me a shout if you need help?
要不您先自己做著，在需要幫助時(shí)喊我？

打時(shí)間牌
I need to think it over.Can I get back to you later?
我得好好考慮一下。我稍后告訴你好嗎？

I'll think about it and let you know, OK?
讓我考慮一下，然后再告訴你，可以嗎？

“嫁禍”他人
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that, but have you asked (X)?
我對(duì)這個(gè)事情不是很熟誒，你問過某某了嗎？

Sorry, but that's not really something I can do. Maybe (X) can help you.
抱歉，我實(shí)在做不來這事。也許某某可幫你。

Oh dear, I'm terrible at that sort of thing!What about getting (X) to have a look at it?
哦，親愛的，我最不擅長(zhǎng)做這種事情了！讓某某來看一下怎么樣？

總之要記得，不要急于回答“是”或“不”然后再后悔?？紤]清楚后再回答，保持禮貌但要堅(jiān)決，而且確保讓事情朝自己希望的方向發(fā)展。
