怎樣纔能有禮貌的拒絕別人
有些童鞋最不會拒絕人了，就算心裏想着say No，嘴上還是說了Yes，用中文不會，用英語就更不會了。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，外國人面對邀請、嘮叨和請求時，都是如何有禮貌地拒絕的呢？
1、如何拒絕邀請
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)建議其他時間或日期
舉個例子
Thank you.so much for the invitation, but I'm afraid I have a prior engagement.
非常感謝您的邀請，但我已經有約了。
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！不過很抱歉我不能來，因爲我已計劃了其他事情。
還可以說
I'd love to, but I'm afraid I can'd another time be possible?
我很想去，不過恐怕不行。可以換個時間嗎？
I'm very sorry, but I won't be able to make her time would be great, though!
很抱歉，我無法去。要是換個時間就太好了！
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.
我可以稍後加入你們嗎？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
如果對方喋喋不休，自說自話，而你又有別的想法，不如這樣打斷對方：
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.
我瞭解你所說的事情，只是我現在（不感興趣/無法去/不可能去）。
或者直呼其名來強調語氣
Look, Michael, I'm sorry, but it's just not going to be possible at the moment.
邁克爾，實在抱歉，但是現在確實不可能。
3、如何拒絕請求
如果有人求你幫忙，但你實在無法幫ta，那麼試試這麼說：
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，但現在恐怕無法再增加任何新任務了。
給予Ta信心，鼓勵Ta獨立完成
Actually, I think this is something you could do really well yourself!
事實上，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?
要不您先自己做着，在需要幫助時喊我？
打時間牌
I need to think it I get back to you later?
我得好好考慮一下。我稍後告訴你好嗎？
I'll think about it and let you know, OK?
讓我考慮一下，然後再告訴你，可以嗎？
“嫁禍”他人
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that, but have you asked (X)?
我對這個事情不是很熟誒，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，我最不擅長做這種事情了！讓某某來看一下怎麼樣？
總之要記得，不要急於回答“是”或“不”然後再後悔。考慮清楚後再回答，保持禮貌但要堅決，而且確保讓事情朝自己希望的方向發展。
