I was just outside, and it's actually too cold outside right now and too windy to make a video out there, so we're going to do this one in the classroom today.

我剛才在外面，其實現在外面太冷了，而且外面的風太大了，不能在外面拍視頻，所以我們今天要在教室裡做這個視頻。

It's a little bit, it's a little bit warmer in here, and I think that will just go better.

這是一點，這裡的溫度有點高，我想這樣會更好。

In this English lesson what I think I'm going to do is talk about how to respond when someone asks you to do something in English that you don't want to do.

在這節英語課上，我想我要做的是談談當有人用英語要求你做一些你不想做的事情時，如何應對。

So let's do that.

所以我們就這樣做吧。

Let's look at, let's say six ways that you can respond to someone when they ask you if you want to do something and, and it's something that you're just not going to do.

讓我們來看看，比方說，當別人問你是否想做某件事情，而且，是你不打算做的事情時，你可以用六種方式來回應。

You're going to say no to them.

你要對他們說不。

Well hey, Bob the Canadian here, learn English with Bob the Canadian.

好了，嘿嘿，這裡的加拿大人鮑勃，跟加拿大人鮑勃學英語。

So, sometimes in life people ask you if you want to do something, and sometimes you want to say no.

所以，生活中有時候別人問你想不想做什麼，有時候你想說不。

So in this video, let's look at some ways that you can say, "no".

所以在這段視頻中，我們來看看你可以說 "不 "的一些方法。

For the first example, let's imagine that a friend has asked if you want to go and see a movie.

第一個例子，我們想象一下，有朋友問你想不想去看電影。

You could respond with the simplest way of declining.

你可以用最簡單的拒絕方式來回應。

To decline is to say no.

拒絕就是拒絕。

And that's to say, "No thanks!" or "No thank you!"

那就是說："不用謝！"或 "不用謝！"

So your friend says, "Would you like to go see a movie tonight?" and you could respond by saying, "No thanks!" or "No thank you!"

所以你的朋友說："你今晚想去看電影嗎？"你可以回答說："不用了，謝謝！"或者 "不用了，謝謝！"

A second way that you could decline or say no to someone when they ask you if you would like to do something is to say, "I'm not interested."

當別人問你是否願意做某事時，你可以拒絕或說不的第二種方式是說："我不感興趣"。

So let's say someone has asked you if you wanted to go out for dinner with them.

那麼，假設有人問你是否想和他們一起出去吃飯。

You could say, "I'm not really interested tonight, I have a lot of other things going on." or "I'm not really interested at the moment, I'd rather do something else."

你可以說："我今晚不是很感興趣，我有很多其他的事情要做。"或者說："我現在不是很感興趣，我寧願做其他的事情。"

So another way to say no is to say that you're not interested.

所以另一種拒絕的方式就是說你不感興趣。

A third way to say no to someone is to say, "I'd rather not."

第三種拒絕別人的方式是說："我寧願不要"。

So maybe someone says to you, "Would you like to go to the shopping mall?"

所以，也許有人對你說："你想去商場嗎？"

"I'd like to go to the shopping mall and do some shopping, would you like to come with?"

"我想去商場買點東西，你要不要一起去？"

And you could respond by saying, "I'd rather not," which is another way of saying that you're not interested.

你可以回答說："我寧可不要。"這也是你不感興趣的另一種說法。

"I'd rather not go right now. I have other things that I need to do." or "I'd rather not go because I'm not interested."

"我寧願現在不去。我還有其他事情要做。"或者 "我寧願不去，因為我不感興趣。"

So if someone says to you in English, "I'd rather not," it means the same as saying no or that they're not interested.

所以，如果有人用英語對你說："I'd rather not"，那就和說 "no "的意思一樣，或者說他們不感興趣。

A fourth way that you can let someone know that you don't want to do something is to say, "I don't want to."

第四種方式，你可以讓別人知道你不想做某事，就是說："我不想做"。

So maybe someone says to you, "I'd like to go for a long drive out in the country. It's a beautiful day."

所以，也許有人對你說："我想去鄉下開個長途車。這是一個美麗的一天。"

You could say to them, "I don't want to."

你可以對他們說："我不想去。"

So you're just expressing to them that it's not something that interests you.

所以你只是向他們表示，這不是你感興趣的東西。

It's not something that you would like to do, so you would say to them, "No, sorry I don't want to."

這不是你想做的事情，所以你會對他們說："不，對不起，我不想做。"

"I don't want to go for a drive out in the country today."

"我今天不想去鄉下開車了。"

A fifth way to let someone know that you're not interested in doing something is to say, "I don't feel like it."

讓別人知道你對做某事不感興趣的第五種方式是說："我覺得不喜歡"。

So maybe someone says to you, "Would you like to come over to my house for supper tonight? Would you like to come over to my house for dinner?"

所以，也許有人對你說："你今晚願意來我家吃晚飯嗎？"。你願意來我家吃晚飯嗎？"

You could say, "You know what, I just don't feel like it."

你可以說，"你知道嗎， 我只是不喜歡它。"

"I don't feel like it today."

"我今天不喜歡這樣。"

"It's been a long day."

"今天真是漫長的一天。"

"I'm quite tired."

"我挺累的。"

"I don't feel like coming over to your house for dinner."

"我不喜歡來你家吃飯。"

And you can say, "I'm sorry" as well because that would make it a little more polite like, "I'm sorry I just don't feel like it today."

你可以說，"對不起"，以及 因為這將使它更多一點的禮貌 就像，"對不起，我只是不喜歡今天的感覺。"

And the last way for this video, the last way to let someone know that you don't want to do something is to just say that you're not really in the mood.

而這段視頻的最後一個方法，讓別人知道你不想做某事的最後一個方法，就是直接說你沒有真正的心情。

You're not in the mood to do the thing they're asking you to do.

你沒有心情去做他們要你做的事情。

So maybe someone wants to take you to the library and you just say, "You know what, I'm not really in the mood."

所以，也許有人想帶你去圖書館 你就說，"你知道嗎，我沒有真正的心情。"

"I'd rather stay home."

"我寧願呆在家裡。"

"So I'm not really in the mood for reading, so I'm not really in the mood to go to the library to get books."

"所以我沒有什麼心情看書，所以我沒有什麼心情去圖書館拿書。"

That's one of the last ways that you can say, "no" to someone.

這是你可以對別人說 "不 "的最後一種方式。

So that's six ways that you can tell someone that you don't want to do something.

所以這就是你可以告訴別人你不想做某件事的六種方式。

Hopefully you've taken some notes and you've written some of these down.

希望你已經做了一些筆記，你已經寫下了其中的一些。
