 对话框回复“早安”和“晚安'，获取暖心音频问候 用英语说不，不是只有no这一种哦，这里有29种用英语拒绝别人的表达方式，你可以连说几乎一个月都不带重样的~ 01 no 让我们先从最简单的开始，当然是直接说“no”，可以追溯至古英语时期。 Let’s start with the easy one. No dates to Old English. 02 uh-uh 这个词以书面形式出现最早可追溯到上世纪20年代。 The imitative uh-uh is first found in its written form in the 1920s 03 nix 起源于维多利亚时代的俚语，类似于早期德语中的nix，是德语nichts(nothing)的口语缩略形式。 Originally Victorian slang, nix can be compared with the earlier German nix, which is a colloquial shortened form of nichts (‘nothing’). 04 nope Nope在17世纪是红腹灰雀的别名，直到19世纪末开始用作“no”的意思。也是差不多时候“yep”开始用作“yes”的意思。 The earliest sense of nope (albeit an unrelated word spelled the same) was actually another name for the bullfinch, used in the early 17th century – but fast forward to the the late 19thcentury and nope is being used for no, with an apparently arbitrary extension, at around the same time that yep began being used for yes. 05 nay 这个词起源于北欧，来自冰岛语nei，直到14世纪后才开始频繁使用。 This form of no is particularly characteristic of Northern English. In origin it is a borrowing from early Scandinavian (cf. Icelandic nei). People haven’t been using this expression much since the 14th century. 06 nah 伦敦腔发音，“no”的非标准拼写。 A non-standard spelling of no, nah is often used when representing southern English pronunciation, particularly cockney speech 07 no way 虽然被认为是一种俚语，但其实no way最早可以追溯到18世纪。 Though decried as slang by some, no way (for ‘no’) has a long history, dating back at least as far as the 18th century. 08 negative 如果你是个军事迷，你可能会不自觉得在回答“不”的时候蹦出negative这个词。它比“no”更清晰地表达“不”的意思，相应地也用“affirmative”来表达“yes”。在无线电通话中，用“negative”或者“affirmative”比单纯的“no”或者“yes”更清楚。 If you’re feeling in a military frame of mind, you can say negative instead of no (as opposed to affirmative for yes). This probably started as a way of saying ‘no’ over the radio with as much clarity as possible. 09 under no circumstances 为了让你的否定听上去更加坚决，不会产生一丁点歧义，你可以用这个词组来表达否定的含义，几乎可以用于任何场合。最开始词组中的circumstance用的是单数，不过现在都是用复数形式了。 For avoidance of doubt, this one pretty much covers all bases. Circumstance was originally a noun of action or condition, in the singular, but is now usually pluralized. 10 not likely 如果有人提了无礼要求，可以用这个词回绝。 Although you’re probably in complete control of the likelihood or otherwise of something happening if you say not likely, it’s an option for dismissing someone’s suggestion with a bit of sass.
