巧妙拒绝别人
Sandwich your no between two positives
用积极的理由来解释拒绝的原因
Make your answer more palatable with a positive explanation.
通过积极的解释,让你的回答听上去更顺耳。
For example, if your partner asks you to cover a conference, but you have development dead lines at risk, explain these commitments(first yes), how they lock you in town (no), and finish by confirming your focus to an on-time product (second yes).
例如:如果你的合作伙伴要求你去参加一次会议,但你的产品开发截止日期即将到来,你可以向对方解释这些任务(肯定),它们如何让你脱不开身(否定),最后证明自己的重点是准时交付一款产品(再次肯定)。
【知识点津】
palatable adj.可口的; 美味的; 宜人的; 可接受的
例句:
This dish is quite palatable.
