巧妙拒绝别人

 

Explain your constraints before saying no

 

在拒绝之前解释自己的苦衷

 

Rejection without giving context implies an unreasonable request or a problem with the requestor.

 

People making a request may not understand your budget limitations, current workload or competitive pressures.

 

In this context, you can also make an encouraging statement about future requests.
