1/ I don’t feel like… 我唔係好想

I don’t feel like嘅意思係「我覺得，我唔係好想...」有時用自己感受行先都係一個幾好嘅方法，用feel like個比直接用I don’t like婉轉。不過，用嘅時候要注意文法，I don’t feel like之後要 加verb-ing。
例子： “Isn’t it time to leave?” “I don’t feel like leaving yet.”

2/ I’d love to, but…

呢句嘅意思係「我都想架，但係...」，雖然實際上你根本唔想去，但係為咗唔好令人哋有hard feeling，都要講小小白色謊言。
例子： “Could you help me?” “I’d love to, but I’ve got lots of thing to do.”

3/ Thanks for asking but…

人哋有嘢玩叫埋你，就梗係多謝咗人先啦，之後先再講你唔得嘅原因。「Thanks for asking but…」嘅意思就係，「多謝你嘅邀請，但係我...」，咁人哋聽落都會順耳啲。
例子： “Do you want to have dinner with us tonight?” “Thanks for asking. But I have to work overtime today.”

4/I’m afraid I can’t.

句中嘅「afraid」有恐怕的嘅意思，比直接用i can’t 會婉轉一啲。如果太直接一句同人講你唔得，可能人哋會唔開心，下次有咩都唔預你。
例子： “Let’s go out and have dinner tonight!” “I’m afraid I can’t. I’m so broke.”

5/ I think I’m good.

呢句說話真係不得了，拒絕人拒絕到連一句no同 not都冇。「 I think I’m good. 」嘅意思係 「而家咁就ok啦，唔需要！」間接咁話俾人知你唔需要其他嘅幫助，或者需要。
例子： “How about one more shot?” “I think I’m good. Thank you.”
