=================================
英語で丁寧な断り方ができていますか?
=================================
友達や同僚から食事などに誘われた時に、どのように断るべきか迷った事はありませんか?今回のコラムでは、ストレートな断り方、遠回しの断り方、フォーマルな断り方、それぞれの状況に適した表現方法をご紹介します。シチュエーションに応じた上手な断り方を身につけましょう。
~ストレートに断る~
アメリカでは、仲の良い友達や同僚、家族の場合は率直な返事をするのが一般的です。特にカジュアルな食事など、それほど重要なイベントでないときはストレートに「行けません」と断った方がいいでしょう。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Sorry, I can't make it
→「すみません、行けません」
--------------------------------------------------
Make itは以前の動画コラムでも紹介しましたが、「都合がつかない」ことを表します。誘いを断る時によく使われるフレーズです。
✔「I can't make it」だけですと、ちょっとストレートすぎるので「(I'm) sorry」の一言を最初に加えましょう。
✔「I can't make it」の後に「I'm busy tonight.(今夜は忙しいので)」のような簡単な一言でもいいので、なぜ参加できないのか理由を加えましょう。
✔「I can't go」でもオッケーです。
<例文>
A: Do you want to grab dinner tonight?
(今夜食事に行きませんか?)
B: Sorry, I can't make it tonight. I'm working late.
(すみません、今夜は遅くまで仕事をしているので行けません)
A: We're going to the beach this Saturday. Do you want come?
(今週の土曜日に海に行くんだけど来る?)
B: Sorry I don't think I can make it. I'm going to my son's baseball game.
(すみません、息子の野球の試合に行くので行けません)
--------------------------------------------------
2) (I think) I'll pass
→「遠慮しておきます」
--------------------------------------------------
この表現は日本語で言う「遠慮をする」「やめておく」を表すフレーズです。特に何か予定が入っているわけではないけど、なんとなくその気になれない・・・なんて場合に、丁重に断る便利な言い方です。
✔「今回はやめておきます」→「(I think)I'll pass this time」
✔「(I think)I'll pass」の後に「行きたくない」理由を一言加えるといいでしょう。
<例文>
Let's go watch a movie tonight.
(今夜映画を見に行きましょう)
I think I'll pass. I'm pretty tired.
(ちょっと疲れているので遠慮しておきます)
We're going to the summer festival tomorrow. Do you want to join us?
(明日夏祭りに行きますが、一緒に来ますか?)
I think I'll pass this time. I have to wake up early tomorrow.
(明日、早く起きないと行けないのでやめておきます)
~遠回し/丁寧に断る~
会社の上司からの誘いや、大きなイベントの誘いを断る場合に使える丁寧な表現方法。相手を気遣い、やんわりと断る言い方です。
--------------------------------------------------
1)(I'm)Sorry I'm afraid I can't
→「残念ながら行けません」
--------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid I can'tは丁寧な断り方の定番フレーズです。せっかく誘ってもらったのに行けなくて「残念」や「申し訳ない」などの気持ちを表します。
✔「I'm afraid I can't go」/「I'm afraid I can't make it」でもオッケーです。
✔誘い事に限らず依頼などを丁寧に断る時にも使えます。「I'm afraid I can't」の後に適切な動詞を入れましょう。
✔行けない理由を伝えましょう。
<例文>
A: We are having a farewell party for Tony next Monday. Can you make it?
(来週の月曜日にトニーの送別会をするのですが来れますか?)
B: Sorry I'm afraid I can't. I'll be on a business trip.
(その日は出張で残念ながら行けそうにありません)
A: an you come to my performance tonight?
(今夜私のパフォーマンスをみに来れますか?)
B: I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't make it. I have to take my friend to the airport.
(今夜は友達を空港に連れて行かないといけないので、残念ながら行けそうにないです)
--------------------------------------------------
2)I'd love to _____ but _____
→「そうしたいの山々ですが」
--------------------------------------------------
相手の誘いに対し「本当は行きたいのですが/そうしたいのですが」のように断らざる終えない場合に使うフレーズです。I'd love toの後はgo(行く)やjoin(参加)など適切な動詞をいれ、butの後は理由を加えます。
✔「行きたいのは山々なのですが」→「I'd love to go but _____」
✔「参加したいので山々なのですが」→「I'd love to join but _____」
✔シンプルに「I'd love to but I can't(そうしたいですが残念ながら無理です)」とも言えます。
<例文>
A: Would you like to come to Hawaii with us?
(私たちとハワイに行きませんか?)
B: I'd love to go but I'm a little tight on money right now.
(行きたいのは山々なんですが、今は予算がちょっときついです)
A: Why don't you stay for some coffee?
(コーヒーを飲んで行きませんか?)
B: I'd love to stay and chat a little more but I have to get going.
(もう少しお邪魔してお話もしたいのですが、そろそろ行かないといけません)
~フォーマルな断り方~
面接やミーティングなどビジネスシーンにおいて使えるフォーマルな断り方です。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Due to a prior commitment
→「先約があるので(行けません)」
--------------------------------------------------
このフレーズは、ミーティングや面接、会社のイベントなどを断る時に使われるとてもフォーマルでプロフェッショナルな断り方です。会話、メール、招待状など様々な場面で使われる決まり文句です。
✔文頭または文末で使われます。
✔Unfortunately(残念ながら)を文頭に加える事によってより丁寧になります。
<例文>
Due to a prior commitment, I will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow.
(先約があるため、明日のミーティングには出席できません)
Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the conference due to a prior commitment.
(先約があるため、会議に出席できません)
Due to a prior commitment, I cannot join the seminar on Friday.
(先約があるため、金曜日のセミナーに参加できません)

10 Checklist Confinement Dah Setel, Mommies Boleh Pantang Dengan Tenang
(Ikut keperluan masing-masing ye☺, mummy share je persiapan mummy)
....
Continue Reading10 Checklist Confinement is Set, Mommies Can Never Be Peaceful
(According to each other's needs ☺, mummy will just share the preparation of mummy)
.
1. Set of confinement
This is the highest chart. Tired of giving birth, we need to pamper ourselves too. Like a reward for myself. This is the first thing that mummy will survey and buy.
Used to use a set of confinement Tanamera, this time mummy wants to try Nona Roguy's confinement set. The Tanamera set was 5 stars, because it's like modern mix and traditional care.
But even mummy wants to use Nona Roguy's set, these 4 Tanamera items are compulsory to include once because it is really
a) Brown Soap Tanamera - The soap smells like herbs, which is great because it's like scrub. So it's so nice to remove dirt or rough places like elbows etc. It's really great to use it first. So it's compulsory to have. Price RM16 / bar.
b) Herbal Massage Oil - Use a normal day to massage your feet if you're tired, it smells really good. (Price RM 40 +/ bottle if not wrong because I bought it during pregnancy early)
c) VCO Tanamera - This is applied to the stomach to prevent stretch mark. Apply from the beginning of the content, insyaAllah there will be no signs, the stomach is just (Price RM 40 +/ bottle if not wrong because I bought it during pregnancy early)
D) Bengkung - Get free time to buy Tanamera set first, most importantly the bengkung is cotton fabric suitable and comfortable for mummy who has cser. So this bengkung is still good, so continue using it.
Oh by the way, mummy bought the Nona Roguy set that's preloved only. It's a coincidence that he's done with confinement in the month of 4 and there's a lot of things in the set that he's useless, even using one or two items so mummy decided why not One set of Nona Roguy price is RM 280 + you know, but mummy gets it with RM78 complete set except for Herbanika Oil. As far as the external use, it won't be a problem because it's expiry date year 2021. Mummy added on to buy Nona Roguy Herbanika Oil in RM 40 +/ bottle.
* Use of herbs / herbs on your own body's fitness. Mummy usually avoids it.
.
2. Breast pump & Silicone Milk Collector
Compulsory items for breastfeeding mothers. According to experience, usually use milk collector early because of tandem feeding with baby. Even if you want to pump it early, you don't need to stress yourself because milk production is according to your baby's age. If it's a little milk yield, we'll start stressing out alone, our milk production will fall. Mummy will start saving stock for a month before going to work like that. InsyaAllah can. When Aileen used milk collector Brand Haakaa, now I want to try Autumnz Brand. The price is only RM25.
Thank God, for breast pump mummy using Brand Cimilre is quite durable, most importantly handsfree, the price is worth it and the sound is not noisy. Just chill and relax if you attend the meeting hikhik.
.
3. Mother stove & baby tuam
When Aileen used to buy baby tuam without his set, so when the tuam was a bit fussy because he had to use iron to heat up the tuam. First baby has no experience. So this time mummy bought a set straight away, it's not expensive in RM18 to get a small furnace, candle & place to heat up the aromatherapy style. So easy to heat up the baby's furnace directly.
For the mother's furnace, there are already generations at mom's house using river stone from the days of ancestors who used the same river stone.
.
4. Set of planting baby type
This is only an optional item, but it's compulsory for mummy since Aileen's time to make it easier for my husband to manage
Any brand is possible but mummy bought a set that has a pot of land because the type has to be planted is good not to give animals to dig it, so put it in the pot of mummy's land feels more secure like that (feeling)
Basically, this planting set includes a way of managing types and prayers that are needed to be read during planting types, asam jawa & sour pieces, salt, white cloth, latex gloves and apron. Complete right?
So it's easier for our husband to settle the part of the planting business, everything is complete and available. Mommies want to prepare for themselves but mummy is really lazy to prepare one by one. This set price is RM 38 including postage.
'
5. Bepanthen Cream
It's important to use nipple crack when breastfeeding, among creams that quickly fix nipple crack. Plus point, Bepanthen can be used for nappy rash kids too.
.
6. Nursing Cover, Nursing Pad & Nursing Bra
Mummy used nursing cover by Marredz since her first child. It's comfortable to breastfeed a baby, then Marredz did it together with the clutch. After using folding & keep it in the clutch bag. It's just neat. But now there are all kinds of nursing cover selling at the shop, so mommies can choose those who are interested in your heart. (Have to standby to enter the hospital bag because sometimes many people come to visit when we breastfeed our children)
Nursing pad is compulsory because the bra will always be 'wet' because the milk comes out. So need to standby hikhik 😂
.
7. Supplement – Osteomatrix Shaklee, Prenavit
Mummy doesn't sell it, but mummy uses this only because the body feels suitable with this osteomatrix. Lelagi chapter of digestion. It's tiring if it's cser but constipation. Want to cry to push in the toilet huhu. So when eating osteomatrix is easier. Because mummy's kind of lack of fruits. So looking for another alternative.
Mummy will avoid eating herbs early because she gives the baby to finish yellow first then drink a little bit.
Previt supplement for pregnant & BF mother. Only this can be swallowed. Obimin, Iberet all the others sorry throat can't swallow huhu.
.
8. Thick socks (not in the picture) - must wear, otherwise the pokpek will not wear socks hehe
.
9. Maternity Pad
Mummy didn't buy the one who tied the rope, mummy used adult pampers for the early time when blood was so hard to move after c-ser (the type of pampers brought it in the bag to the After that change to use overnight pad / wing pad / normal pad. More comfortable and easier.
.
10. Massage / Confinement Lady (CL)
For those who are in confinement, now there are many services provided to help mommies manage themselves and children.
Mummy is done early - early hire CL for mother massage and baby affairs in Terengganu later. Not long in two hours a day, mummy's package is taken for 21 days. Abstinence food, all are used to cook it hehe. Only part of my body, massage, wear a bengkung, use param & pilis and bath, mummy surrendered to CL because she doesn't want to bother mom. For the baby's service, please bathe, tuam and massage the baby together. Enough that is enough.
.
Hopefully sharing mummy helps love to prepare abstinence items 😍

There are thousands of newborn babies everyday.
Stories to be told in many corners around the world.
My name is Queenie Chan, my dad was a Shanghainese and he was an architect. Mum is Taiwanese. They're both Virgo, clean freak and a perfectionist.
Dad was 22 yrs older than mum, dad took mum's virginity and moved to HK after they get married. And I was told his tricks were conventional, writing love letters which could potentially make you diarrhea and it worked well apparently ..
I almost split my mum's vagina when a head coming out other way around, my head that is.
Mum was screaming how painful she felt and I was screaming how tight her vagina was which almost suffocated me.! Dad named ^me after his daughter at his previous marriage whom passed away from drug overdosed.
One Night, Two months after I was born, I got locked from the inside of my room,
mum and dad were both like .. OMG IS IT THE END OF WORLD....
I was crying my arse off, louder than the thunderstorm outside of the windows, dad just got back from a dinner meeting, went straight ahead to the kitchen and grab a chopper then started banging the door knob.
Dad managed to crack open my door, but he also cracked few his blood vessels at the same time and passed away, Mum lost her first love and I lost a lovable dad on the same night. I hardly remember how my dad looks apart from the picture mum shown.
I haven't had a chance to talk to either Bruce or my dad. But I admire them both
There weren't no 'Dummies For Widow' or 'How To Be a Widow In 5 days' books available back then, so Mum flew back to Taiwan with me, and grandparents took over mum's duty so mum get to go search for love.
Because I was the only child, I got all the attention and love from my grannies, and the feeling of being loved has been deep rooted in my brain ever since.I left Taiwan to HK when I was 4 ^to attend pre school, my grannies were so upset and weren't able to eat well for days..It wasn't easy for me to adapt the new environment and I was so used to be around my grannies. Mum were like a stranger to me then. Too bad being a child of 4 yrs old, I didn't have a say at all.
But,Wait for it... That wasn't it, I only then found out there was another man at my new home in hk. My mum second husband, he was in jewelry business..
Mum was still young, she gave most of her attention and love to her new husband. And i started to become a 'world destroyer", I tended to break anything comes in my way. I guess I was just trying to seek attention from my mum, and being an attention whore was one of my jobs.
......
The rest of story is in my video...
Now, being 41 years of age.... skin a bit lose, butt a bit saggy, no big house ,no cars, but what really matter is I love what I do, I do what I love,
Happiness is not given, happiness is an attitude, and it can be DIY.
Always try to give your very best in whatever you do, You are not living to please every single person on planet earth.
Don't waste time, make use of every second cuz we only live once.
I used to think : damn !I m 41 now, half of my life gone pass already
But now I m like, 2nd half of my life has just began, I m looking forward to whats goanna come next.
If I can live for another 40 yrs, I will definitely make draw my life part 2, hope you all enjoy my sharing, good luck and see you soon!
With much Love,
Queenie xoxoox
