在商务谈判中有很多情况下要对别人的观点表示同意或反对,以下是一些常用表达方式:
赞同看法
1. A valid point.
2. I agree completely.
3. I agree one hundred percent.
4. I agree wholeheartedly.
"valid"是‘确实的;有价值的';"point"为‘重点;观点'。这用语是说对方提出的这一点很有参考价值,值得重视。等于"It's a valid point.",将"It's"省略后,语气更形简洁有力。这句话表示自己完全同意对方的看法,并百分之百地支持;常能发挥鼓励他人发言的作用,可用于正式或非正式的场合。
表达反对
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;反对'。这句话可用于半正式与正式场合中。请注意这句话所不同意的是‘意见'而非‘个人',纯粹对事不对人,所以可以很技巧地避免让对方下不了台。用"I'm sorry"开头,尤显客气有礼。
