“改天吧”英语怎么说?难道要说“Change another day?”

Source: 恒星英语学习网    2019-05-22  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

闺蜜约你逛街,可你加了几天班,只想躺
同事约你聚餐,不过你已经答应爸妈回家吃饭了
刚认识的男生想和你约会,但你对他并不感冒
……
怎么办?

“改天吧”
这个中文里用来婉拒他人的万能句
不要太好用
那英文里应该怎么说?
"改天吧"英文怎么说?

可以直接翻译
How about another day?
Maybe some other time.
虽然这样说没问题
只是实在有些死板,显得好没意思……

用一句英文俚语来说就活泼多了

Take a rain check

“take a rain check”字面意思是“拿一张雨票”。
短语起源来自美国的棒球文化,如果比赛时因恶劣天气而不得不终止,官方将发给观众交换券(check),凭借此券可以观看下一次的比赛。
由此衍生出了 take a rain check,使用在将约定改期的情况下。
例句
Thank you, but I have to take a rain check on your invitation.
谢谢你,但很抱歉我不能接受你的邀请,改天吧。

Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
你愿意和我共进晚餐吗?
I'll take a rain check! I've got stuff to do.
改天吧,我有点事。


生活里有些事总是不得不拒绝的,今天小酱就跟大家分享一下,面对邀请或请求时,如何用英文礼貌地拒绝。
如何拒绝邀请
1、Thank you so much for the invitation, but I'm afraid I have a prior engagement.

3、It's a lovely idea, but I won't be able to join you this time.

4.That's very kind of you, but …

5、Could I join you later? I just have to finish something.

6、Today's not so good - how about tomorrow?

如何拒绝请求
1、I'd like to help you but I can't take on any new commitments at the moment, I'm afraid.

2、Actually, I think this is something you could do really well yourself!
事实上,我觉得您完全可以自己做好!

3、Why not have a go yourself, and give me a shout if you need help?
要不您先自己做着,在需要帮助时喊我?

4、Sorry, but that's not really something I can do. Maybe Emma can help you.
