每个人都有自己的想法。如果你和朋友、同事、同学想法不同怎么办？直言“你不对”会伤了和气，不妨试试下面的办法吧！

1. I wouldn't look at it like that. 我不会从这个角度来看 / 我不这么想

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. (我认为选择这个人完全是错误。)

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

2. Give this to you (real) straight 打开天窗说亮话

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. (我跟你直说了吧：我已经不再爱你了。)

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

You aren't going to like what I have to say, but ... 你可能不喜欢听，但我还是得说……

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? (小贝真是个天才球员。你觉得呢？)

Bob: I don't mean to be rude, but his performance this time is just OK. (我无意冒犯，但他这次的表现实在平平啊。)

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

I'm on one's side 我和……站在一边

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. (爱丽丝，你觉得晚上办个聚会怎么样？你一直都没说话。)

Alice: I'm with other girls on it: an evening party is too noisy. (我跟其他女生的意见相同：办晚会太吵了。)

5. You are missing the point... 你没听清楚重点

That's not the point... 这不是重点

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. (我不明白你为什么生气，我不是给你买了礼物嘛。)

Laura: That's not the point. The point is you completely forgot my birthday. (这不是重点，重要的是你把我的生日忘得一干二净。)
