[size=2][color=blue]让我们看看在英语里面可以怎样委婉地表达拒绝。[/color][/size]

[size=2][color=darkgreen]在《绝望主妇》（Desperate Housewives ）第一季里面，经常会听到这样一句话，“I’m not sure.”如果仅从字面上看，也许会把它理解为“我不能肯定”的意思。但在口语里面，它更多是用来表达委婉的拒绝。[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=#006400][/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]比如在剧中有这样一段对话：[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]Mrs. Greenberg: Well, do you know how to drive a stick?[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]你会开车吗？[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]Susan: Yes, I think so. I learned in college. It’s like riding a bike, right?[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]我想我会，我在大学的时候学过，就像骑自行车一样，对吗？[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]Mrs. Greenberg: I’m not sure, dear.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]亲爱的，我不敢借你。[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=#006400][/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]如果想表达不确定的意思，一般在英语里会说“I guess. I believe so.”等等。[/color][/size]

[size=2][color=darkgreen]另外的表示拒绝的表达法还有：[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]A: Try this one. It cleans your blackhead in a flash.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]试试这个，它会在瞬间去除你的黑头。[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]B: I think I will pass. It looks painful.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]不了，看上去会很疼。[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=#006400][/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]还有强硬的拒绝：[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]You want to buy my land with one dollar? Over my dead body.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]你想用一美元买我的地，做梦！[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=#006400][/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]He wants to marry me? No way.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]他想娶我？下辈子吧！[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]当然“no way”的意思还要看情境而定，看这个例子：[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]A: Look at the car, it’s all yours.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]这辆车是你的了。[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]B: No way![/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]真的吗，我都不感相信！[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=#006400][/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]Once you have chosen to marry him, there is no way back.[/color][/size]
[size=2][color=darkgreen]一旦你决定嫁给他，就没办法回头了。[/color][/size]
