商务英语口语每天三句半 商务交往 第149期:婉拒对方

 　　5 婉拒对方

　　3句英文任你选

　　We very much regret that we have to refuse your request.

　　非常遗憾，我们不得不拒绝您的请求。

　　These goods don't fit the local market very much.

　　这批货物非常不造合当地市场。

　　On account¹ of difference in taste , the design doesn't suit this market.

　　由于品位不间，这项外观设计不适合本地市场。

　　半个句型要记牢

　　refuse one's request(拒绝某人的请求)

　　Tip:

　　很多人都知道refuse to do的用法，以至于认为refuse只能作不及物动词使用，如Why did the patient refuse to take the medicine? (那个病人为什么不肯服药?)其实 refuse也可作及物动词，后面可直接接名词，如It didn't occur² to him that she would refuse his invitation. (他没有想到她会拒绝他的邀请)。拒绝对方时语气一定要委婉，为将来留余地的同时，也是对对方的一种尊重。所以不妨说 We are expecting cooperation with you next time. (希望有机会下次合作)。
