I'm sorry, but I really can't.
你向別人請求做一件事情，最渴望就是聽到人家一口答應，義無反顧，不過世事又豈能盡如人意。假如你真的幫不上忙，至少也應該說明原因，I'm sorry, but I really can't. 對不起，但我實在不能做到。
"I'm sorry, but I really can't."這是一個非常有禮貌但又非常決絕的拒絕方式。你還可以說："I apologize, but I'm not able to"或是"I wish I could, but I can't."這都是完全拒絕人家的，如果你心里還想辦法要幫人家的話，你還可以利用我們以前曾經(jīng)教過的句子："I'll see what I can do." ‘讓我看看我能為你做些什么?！?BR> 對話來源：考試大
A：Hey Elaine, would you please keep quiet?
B：I'm sorry, but I really can't. There's a cockroach.
C：Do you need a hand?
A：No, thanks. I got it.
甲：嘻，伊蓮恩，請你安靜一點好嗎?
乙：對不起，我真不行。那里有一只蟑螂。
丙：你需要幫忙嗎?來源：考試大
甲：不用了，謝謝。我已把它打死了。
答應和拒絕人家要求的用語前面講過了，現(xiàn)在且說Would you please keep quiet?（請你安靜點好嗎？）這類句子。有時，覺得人家的行為難以忍受，你可以說：Would you please stop that?/Could you stop doing that?（別再這樣做好嗎？）或Must you continue doing that?（你還要繼續(xù)這樣做嗎？）改用命令語氣，則可說Stop it!/Knock it off!/Cut that out!/Give it a rest! 這都是‘別再這樣了’的意思，有時可譯做‘住手’或‘住嘴’。例如有人在你身旁不斷用指頭敲桌子，你就可以說：Cut that out! 或 Would you please stop beating the devil's tattoo? Tattoo是‘連續(xù)快速的鼓聲’，beat the devil's tattoo即‘用指頭或腳在桌子上或地板上不斷的敲。’
要直接告訴人家‘你很討厭’，可以說：You would try the patience of a saint. 或You really get my goat. Try這里不解作‘嘗試’，而是‘考驗’的意思，名詞是trial（考驗、審訊）；to try the patience of a saint是說‘圣人都難忍耐’，頗像中文的‘佛都有火’。至于to get one's goat，直譯是‘取去人家的山羊’，這和‘討厭’有什么關系呢？據(jù)說，從前參賽的馬匹休閑時多有山羊作伴，奪去山羊，會令馬匹煩躁不安，影響比賽成績，這是當時不法賭徒常用的手法。He got my goat with his constant complaints. 即‘他不斷抱怨，今我無名火起。’
