How to say “NO” properly|客套话,中国人的礼貌

To say “NO” to other people properly, Chinese invented a special system to express rejection.

I’m going to list three social situations and show you how Chinese reject other people.

中国人发明了一整套特殊的“拒绝”系统,我将会列举三个社交场景让你看看中国人是如何拒绝别人的。

zhōng guó rén fā míng le yī zhěng tào tè shū de “jù jué ”xì tǒng ,wǒ jiāng huì liè jǔ sān gè shè jiāo chǎng jǐng ràng nǐ kàn kàn zhōng guó rén shì rú hé jù jué bié rén de 。

  1. In a bar

A: Hi, I’m A, do you want to have a drink or something?

B: Sorry, I’m waiting for my friend.(In fact, there are no friends)

 

A: 你好,我是A,我们一起喝一杯?

B:抱歉,我在等我朋友。(事实上,并没有什么朋友要来)

 

A:nǐ hǎo ,wǒ shì A,wǒ men yī qǐ hē yī bēi ?

B:bào qiàn ,wǒ zài děng wǒ péng yǒu 。(shì shí shàng ,bìng méi yǒu shén me péng yǒu yào lái )

Note:Find an excuse, don’t refuse people directly.

 

  1. On street

A:Hi, I’m A, do you mind If I add you on WeChat? Maybe we can go to a dinner sometime.

B:Oh, that’s so nice, but my battery is dead, you can give me your ID, I will add you later.(You can add him or not, it’s up to you)

 

A:你好, 我是A, 你介意我加你微信吗?或许我们可以一起吃个晚餐什么的。

B:唉,真的不错,但是不巧我手机没电了,你可以给我你的ID,我过会加你。(你可以加也可以不加,取决于你)

 

A:nǐ hǎo , wǒ shì A, nǐ jiè yì wǒ jiā nǐ wēi xìn ma ?huò xǔ wǒ men kě yǐ yī qǐ chī gè wǎn cān shí me de 。

B:āi ,zhēn de bú cuò ,dàn shì bú qiǎo wǒ shǒu jī méi diàn le ,nǐ kě yǐ gěi wǒ nǐ de ID,wǒ guò huì jiā nǐ 。(nǐ kě yǐ jiā yě kě yǐ bú jiā ,qǔ jué yú nǐ )

Note:A kind lie can protect both of you.

 

  1. On a table

Host is showing great hospitality, but you are already full and they keep asking you to eat more.

You:The food is so delicious, can you tell me the ingredients? I would love to learn this dish.(At the same time, you can stop eating)

 

主人极其热情,但是你已经饱了,他们还是不断要求你多吃。

你:这些东西真的好吃,你能给我说说配料吗?我真的想学怎么做这道菜(这时,你就可以停止进食了)

 

zhǔ rén jí qí rè qíng, dàn shì nǐ yǐ jīng bǎo le, tā men hái shì bú duàn yào qiú nǐ duō chī 。

nǐ :zhè xiē dōng xī zhēn de hǎo chī, nǐ néng gěi wǒ shuō shuō pèi liào ma? wǒ zhēn de xiǎng xué zěn me zuò zhè dào cài(zhè shí,nǐ jiù kě yǐ tíng zhǐ jìn shí le)

Note:Change the topics, start a small talk, make the host look good.
