It should be very easy to say no whenever you don't feel like doing something. But sometimes, people make you feel guilty for not helping¹ them. There are four easy ways to say no. The first one is to give a simple no. You don't need to give a long statement when saying one word, no, will do. Also, don't apologize for saying no. It weakens² your argument if you continue saying, "I'm sorry,but I can't..."

Another way to say no is to use the broken record technique.This means you will be saying no over and over again, just like a skipping record. This stresses the point that you really don't want to do something, The final way to say no is to ask for some time to think it over. You should never be forced to make a decision on the spot.Tell the person that you would like to sleep on it.Think about this request and whether or not you really want to do it,The next day, explain that you have thoroughly³ thought about it and the final answer is no.

每当你不想做某事时，说“不”应该是件非常容易的事情。但有时候，你会因为没帮助他们而感到愧疚。说“不”有四个简单的方法。第一个就是简单明了地说“不”。你无须发表长篇大论，只要说个“不”字就行了。并且，别因为说“不”而道歉。如果你一直说“对不起，不过我没法……”，这样会削弱你的观点。

另一个说“不”的方法就是采用坏掉唱片法。意思就是你要不断地说“不’，就像跳针的唱片一样。这样能强调你真的很不愿做某事。最后一个方法就是要求多点时间来考虑一下。你水远不该被迫当场做出决定。告诉那个人你要再好好考虑一下。想想别人的请求，也想想你是否真的愿意帮忙做这件事。第二天，再解释你已彻底地考虑过，而最后的答案是“不”。
