原汁原味商务英语播客 第38课:委婉地拒绝(上)  

This is the first in a o-part Business English Podcast lesson on softening negative replies – saying “no” politely.
这是有关"缓和否定回答"2节课中的第一节——也就是委婉地说“不”。
“No” is one of the strongest words in any language. Because it carries so much force
“no” is hard to say politely. Yet giving a negative reply
disagreeing or refusing a request are all things we have to do on a daily basis. So it’s important to learn how to say “no” in a way that enables you to maintain good relationships. In many cases this requires you to take a softer and more indirect approach. So today we’ll work on ways to soften negative replies in a variety of everyday situations.
“不”是任何语言中最有力的一个词，因为它很给力，“不”很难礼貌地表达。但是给出否定的回答，不同意或是拒绝要求是日常生活中我们必须做的事，所以学会如何说“不”并让你们保持良好的关系很重要。在许多场合，这需要你采用更委婉和间接的方法。所以今天我们来研究在各种日常情形中如何委婉地说“不”。
