【十分钟英语】除了Yes和No你还会说什么?肯定和否定的不同表达(二)

昨天我们学习了表达肯定的不同方式,今天该学习表达不肯定或否定的了。

No的另外形式:

Nope.

Nah.

Nay.

当有人向你提出问题,或者提出建议或要求时,你还可以用这些方式说No:

Not at all. 一点儿也不。

Of course not. 当然不。

Certainly not. 当然不。

No can do! 不行!

不太肯定的否定:

Not really. 不太……。

程度比较强烈的否定:

No way! 没门儿!

Never! 永不!

By no means. 绝对不行。

以下委婉的说法可以让No听上去更容易接受:

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. 你开开玩笑吧。

如果别人提出要给你什么,你可以这样说No:

No thanks. 不,谢谢。

No thank you. 不,谢谢你。

Thanks, but no thanks. 谢谢,不过不用了,谢谢。

Thanks all the same. 还是要谢谢你。
