Saying No to Others

说『不』很尴尬吗？

 

范文

　　If you are like most people, you probably find it awkward to refuse requests for assistance or invitations to events. Sometimes turning people down is not only advisable, but it is essential. Agreeing to things you don't wish or don't have time to do can create a lot of stress in your life, which can be overwhelming.

 Moreover, if you spread yourself too thin by taking on too much work, you might end up earning a reputation for being unreliable. This is because you have so many tasks on your plate that you can't possibly give it your all or finish everything on time.

　　The key to refusing requests and still maintaining good relationships is to explain the reasons for your refusal. If you are already working on a huge project with a tight deadline, make sure to convey that in great detail to the person asking the favor. Usually, if you supply a good explanation for turning down a request, the other person will accept it.

　　如果你和大多数的人一样，那你可能会发现拒绝他人的求助或是拒绝活动的邀请很尴尬。有时候拒绝别人不只是明智的，而且是必要的。答应那些你不想去做或者没时间去做的事，这可能会造成你生活上的许多压力，而这可能会令你不知所措。此外，如果你同时从事太多工作，结果可能会让你获得不可靠的名声。这是因为你有太多工作要处理，导致你可能无法投注全部的心力在这件事上或是准时地完成每件工作。

　　拒绝别人要求而仍然能维持良好关系的关键在于你要解释拒绝的原因。如果你已经着手进行一项时间很紧迫的大案子，请务必把这件事非常详细地传达给那位有事相求的人。通常假如你在拒绝请求时提出了一个很好的解释，对方都会接受的。

 

 

另一篇范文

　　Saying no to others can sometimes be difficult. We all want to be accepted by our family and friends. Many of us worry that if we refuse their requests, they might not like us as much. Most of us also prefer to avoid conflict when possible. A lot of times that means saying yes is easier than saying no.

　　When you have to refuse requests, it helps to be polite because this shows that you respect the other person. It also suggests that you feel bad about not helping them. If directly refusing a request is very difficult for you, try to delay giving a firm answer. You can do this by telling the person that you aren't sure if you can help and you'll get back to them. Later, when the person asks you again, you can apologize and explain that you can't assist him or her. Saying no can be tough at first, but with practice it becomes a lot easier.

　　向他人说不有时可能很困难。我们都想要被家人和朋友所接受。但我们之中有许多人会担心，如果我们拒绝了别人的请求，他们可能就不那么喜欢我们了。我们多数人在可能的情况下，也倾向于避免与他人发生冲突。许多时候这意味的就是答应别人比起向他人说不来得容易。

　　当你必须拒绝他人的请求时，有礼貌点会有所助益，因为这显示你尊重对方。这也表示当你没有帮到对方忙时，你会感觉不好过。如果直接拒绝别人的请求对你来说很困难，试着不要太快给予明确的答覆。你可以告诉对方说你不确定自己是否能帮得上忙并且稍后再给予他们答覆。之后当对方再一次问你时，你可以道歉并解释你无法帮忙的原因。说不一开始可能很难，但练习几次后就变得简单许多了。
