　　贊同看法

　　1. A valid point.

　　2. I agree completely.

　　3. I agree one hundred percent.

　　4. I agree wholeheartedly.

　　"valid"是‘確實的;有價值的';"point"為‘重點;觀點'。這用語是說對方提出的這一點很有參考價值，值得重視。等于"It's a valid point."，將"It's"省略后，語氣更形簡潔有力。這句話表示自己完全同意對方的看法，并百分之百地支持;常能發揮鼓勵他人發言的作用，可用于正式或非正式的場合。

　　表達反對

　　1. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree.

　　2. I'm sorry, but I can't agree with that.

　　3. I'm sorry, but I can't support that position / idea.

　　4. I'm sorry, but I can't go along with that.

　　"disagree"的意思是‘不同意;反對'。這句話可用于半正式與正式場合中。請注意這句話所不同意的是‘意見'而非‘個人'，純粹對事不對人，所以可以很技巧地避免讓對方下不了臺。用"I'm sorry"開頭，尤顯客氣有禮。

　　More 同意與反對

　　在會議桌上，面對不同考量的方案與意見時，我們常需表達正面或反面的看法。以下提出兩種不同程度表達同意及反對的說法，請比較參考：

　　同意的說法：強烈表達

　　I'm in complete agreement.

　　I quite agree.

　　I couldn't agree more.

　　Exactly!

　　Precisely.

　　同意的說法：和緩表達

　　I agree.

　　You're right there.

　　I think you're right.

　　That's true.

　　That's right.

　　I disagree completely.

　　That's out of the question.

　　On the contrary.

　　Of course not!

　　That's ridiculous.

　　反對的說法：和緩表達

　　I don't agree.

　　That's not how I see it.

　　I wouldn't say that.

　　I don't think it will work.

　　I disagree.
