巧妙拒绝别人
Make sure your words are non-defensive but clearly stated
使用非防卫性语言,但一定要表述清楚
No one wins when a requestor reads your softly spoken no as a yes or a maybe.
如果请求者将你柔和的拒绝,理解成“是”或者“可能”,最终只会两败俱伤。
Long, detailed explanations are usually read as defensive or confrontational.
而长篇大论的解释,通常会被理解成防卫或抵触。
The answer should be strong and non-emotional. Justsay no clearly, and smile as you say it.
你的回答应该是坚决的,不能感情用事。你只要明确地拒绝就可以,拒绝时不妨报以歉意的微笑。
【知识点津】
confrontational adj.挑衅的; 对抗的
例句:
You prefer a non confrontational approach when it comes to resolving disputes.
面对争端,你不喜欢采用对抗性的手段来解决.
