巧妙拒绝别人

Make sure your words are non-defensive but clearly stated

使用非防卫性语言，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.

如果请求者将你柔和的拒绝，理解成“是”或者“可能”，最终只会两败俱伤。

Long, detailed explanations are usually read as defensive or confrontational.

而长篇大论的解释，通常会被理解成防卫或抵触。

The answer should be strong and non-emotional. Justsay no clearly, and smile as you say it.

你的回答应该是坚决的，不能感情用事。你只要明确地拒绝就可以，拒绝时不妨报以歉意的微笑。

【知识点津】

confrontational adj.挑衅的； 对抗的

例句：

You prefer a non confrontational approach when it comes to resolving disputes.

面对争端,你不喜欢采用对抗性的手段来解决.
