　　英國(guó)留學(xué)的同學(xué)必然要和當(dāng)?shù)厝私涣鳒贤?。那么?dāng)你和別人意見向左時(shí)，你會(huì)怎樣用英語(yǔ)來(lái)使對(duì)方聽起來(lái)不會(huì)很刺耳，又能清楚的表達(dá)你不同的意見呢?今天和小編一起來(lái)借鑒學(xué)習(xí)一下英國(guó)人婉轉(zhuǎn)表達(dá)的藝術(shù)。

　　我們?cè)谏蠈W(xué)時(shí)，課本上總教我們要多用please、would和could等字眼表示禮貌和婉轉(zhuǎn)。然而當(dāng)你真的來(lái)到英國(guó)后會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)英國(guó)人不是只有用 please、would和could等字眼，而是整個(gè)句子的意思很婉轉(zhuǎn)。下面跟小編一起來(lái)看一下已經(jīng)整理好的關(guān)于英國(guó)人禮貌和婉轉(zhuǎn)表達(dá)不同意見時(shí)常用的英文句型。

WHAT YOU THINK	WHAT YOU SAY
1. We are unhappy with this offer。	I'm sorry but we're not very happy with this offer。
2. We are dissatisfied。	We're not completely satisfied。
3. We can't accept it。	Unfortunately, we would be unable to accept that。
4. You said there would be a discount。	We understood there would be a discount。
5. Don't forget you obligations。	I'm sure we don't need to remind you of your contractual obligations。
6. We want a guarantee。	We would need some sort of guarantee。
7. We won't agree to this。	We would find this somewhat difficult to agree to。
8. We're shocked you expect us to cover the costs。	We're rather surprised you expect us to cover the costs。
9. That's wrong。	With respect, that's not quite correct。
10. We want a bigger rebate。	Actually, we were hoping for a slightly more substantial rebate。
11. We must finalise the deal today。	We were rather hoping to finalise the deal today。
12. You obviously don't understand。	I'm afraid you don't seem to understand。

　　除了??would be和could be之外，不曉得你有沒有看出一些其他的特定句型呢?

　　1.在句首說(shuō)Unfortunately或是I'm afraid，提醒聽者接下來(lái)是反對(duì)或負(fù)面的意見。(3. and 12.)

　　2.用否定句型代替否定的字眼，這樣聽起來(lái)還有一些正面的感覺。像是not very happy取代unhappy、not completely satisfied代替dissatisfied、not quite correct取代wrong。還有常聽到的not very good取代bad、not completely true代替false。(1.、2.、9.)

　　3.說(shuō)We understood而不是說(shuō)You said，表示是自己的了解，有可能會(huì)錯(cuò)意了，而不是質(zhì)問(wèn)對(duì)方。(4.)

　　4.大量運(yùn)用not quite、not very、rather、slightly、somewhat、sort of、a bit和a little來(lái)創(chuàng)照一些彈性，軟化絕對(duì)和強(qiáng)硬的語(yǔ)氣。(1.、6.、9.、10.、11)

　　5.使用seem (似乎)表示不確定和客氣的語(yǔ)氣。(12)

　　6.以前在課本當(dāng)中我們所學(xué)到的用”May I“來(lái)表示禮貌的問(wèn)句，在英國(guó)反而非常少聽到，大家都是說(shuō)Can I...。當(dāng)然，大家還是聽的懂”May I“的意思，可能使會(huì)覺得太過(guò)有禮貌，好像是皇室貴族才這么說(shuō)話的。
