巧妙拒絕別人
Make sure your words are non-defensive but clearly stated
使用非防衛性語言,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.
如果請求者將你柔和的拒絕,理解成“是”或者“可能”,最終只會兩敗俱傷。
Long, detailed explanations are usually read as defensive or confrontational.
而長篇大論的解釋,通常會被理解成防衛或抵觸。
The answer should be strong and non-emotional. Justsay no clearly, and smile as you say it.
你的回答應該是堅決的,不能感情用事。你只要明確地拒絕就可以,拒絕時不妨報以歉意的微笑。
【知識點津】
confrontational adj.挑釁的; 對抗的
例句:
You prefer a non confrontational approach when it comes to resolving disputes.
面對爭端,你不喜歡采用對抗性的手段來解決.
