| 昨天我們學(xué)習(xí)了表達肯定的不同方式,今天該學(xué)習(xí)表達不肯定或否定的了。 No的另外形式: Nope. Nah. Nay. 當(dāng)有人向你提出問題,或者提出建議或要求時,你還可以用這些方式說No: Not at all. 一點兒也不。 Of course not. 當(dāng)然不。 Certainly not. 當(dāng)然不。 No can do! 不行! 不太肯定的否定: Not really. 不太……。 程度比較強烈的否定: No way! 沒門兒! Never! 永不! By no means. 絕對不行。 以下委婉的說法可以讓No聽上去更容易接受: I'm afraid not. 我恐怕不行。 Sadly I have something else. 可惜我有其他事。 I’d love to — but can’t. 我真想,但不行。 If only I could! 真希望我能! Maybe another time. 或者下次吧。 You must be joking/kidding. 你開開玩笑吧。 如果別人提出要給你什么,你可以這樣說No: No thanks. 不,謝謝。 No thank you. 不,謝謝你。 Thanks, but no thanks. 謝謝,不過不用了,謝謝。 Thanks all the same. 還是要謝謝你。 讓我們在對話中熟練掌握: A: Do you want me to help you? B: Nope. I can do it on my own, thanks. A:你想我?guī)湍銌幔?/span> B:不。我能自己做。謝謝。 A: Is my music bothering you? B: Not at all. Play it as loud as you like. A:我的音樂吵到你了嗎?
