每個人都有自己的想法。如果你和朋友、同事、同學想法不同怎么辦？直言“你不對”會傷了和氣，不妨試試下面的辦法吧！

1. I wouldn't look at it like that. 我不會從這個角度來看 / 我不這么想

There are two sides of every story. If someone sees a matter from the positive side, you might view the whole thing in a negative light. 比如：

HR: I believe that choosing this man will be a complete mistake. (我認為選擇這個人完全是錯誤。)

John: I wouldn't look at it like that. (我不這么想啊。)

2. Give this to you (real) straight 打開天窗說亮話

Used to introduce a harsh opinion or decision, especially when a person wants to break up with his girlfriend or her boyfriend.

I'm gonna give this to you straight: I don't love you anymore. (我跟你直說了吧：我已經不再愛你了。)

3. I don't mean to be rude, but... 我無意冒犯，但是……

You aren't going to like what I have to say, but ... 你可能不喜歡聽，但我還是得說……

Sometimes you know your words might hurt someone, but you have to speak out. This is a good way, or a great excuse, to avoid the other person's anger. 比如：

Nancy: Beckham is such a talented player. How do you like him? (小貝真是個天才球員。你覺得呢？)

Bob: I don't mean to be rude, but his performance this time is just OK. (我無意冒犯，但他這次的表現實在平平啊。)

4. I'm with ... on... (在某事上) 我跟某人的意見相同

I'm on one's side 我和……站在一邊

In a group discussion, sometimes you just want to agree with another person or group. Use this sentence to say which side you support. 比如：

Teacher: Alice, what's your opinion about holding a party in the evening? You've been quiet. (愛麗絲，你覺得晚上辦個聚會怎么樣？你一直都沒說話。)

Alice: I'm with other girls on it: an evening party is too noisy. (我跟其他女生的意見相同：辦晚會太吵了。)

5. You are missing the point... 你沒聽清楚重點

That's not the point... 這不是重點

Use this when the person you are speaking to really doesn't understand your argument. 比如：

Matt: I don't understand why you're mad. I still bought you a present. (我不明白你為什么生氣，我不是給你買了禮物嘛。)

Laura: That's not the point. The point is you completely forgot my birthday. (這不是重點，重要的是你把我的生日忘得一干二凈。)
