英语说No的艺术
But it's still strong and firm: 但是依旧透着一种坚定
怎么用?
Between friends: 朋友之间用
比如，让Adam去相亲：
- Adam, I've found a perfect girl for you. You should totally go out with her.
- Uh-uh. No way, Jose
当然不要跟你的老板说No way Jose. (即使他的名字就叫Jose......)
- Can you get me the report by 4 pm?
- No way, Jose XXX
5. No Siree/No Siree Bob
"Yes"节目里说道"Yessir"的说法，No这里呢，有“No Siree”
Sometimes they even say "no siree Bob". I don't know who Bob is. It doesn't matter: 有时也会说“no siree Bob”，但是这里的Bob没有任何意思，就像Jose一样，只是一个很常见的名字。
Siree不是Siri
If you're talking to your iPhone you say "No, Siri [siri]," but if you are rejecting someone, you say “No, Siree [sə'ri]”: “No Siri”的发音也要注意，跟iPhone里的Siri不一样哦。
怎么用?
- "Did you drink any wine with dinner tonight?: 今晚晚饭喝酒了吗?
- "No, Siree. No I did not": 没有，没喝酒”
It's really not about asking you if you want something. It's probably more about if you did something：“No Siree”多用于否定做过某件事
“No Siree” can also apply when someone offers you a drink, but you're driving, so you can say:
-"No Siree, I'm driving tonight": 如果有人给你一杯酒，但你开车不能喝，这时候可以用这个说法
所以就是尊重、郑重地拒绝
6. Not in a million years
现在看一个和时间相关的说法：
再用Adam相亲的例子：
- Adam, you should totally go out with the girl. She is perfect for you. You should really meet her: Adam, 你一定要去见见那个女孩儿，她太合适你了，你应该跟她去约个会
- Not in a million years: 一百万年也不会发生(绝对不可能!)
a million: 一百万
a million years: 一百万年
“Not in a million years" means we could wait a million years, and we would still be waiting: "not in a million years" 就是永远不会发生
This is a fixed expression, so you can't change it to "not in ten years" or "not in a hundred years": 这是一个固定表达，你不能随便把一百万年改成10年、100年其它的数字
7. Not for all the tea in China
中国茶叶和No有什么关系?
大家推断一下......
>China has a lot of tea: 中国有很多茶
>So when you say "not for all the tea in China": 所以当你说“not for all the tea in China"
>it means that even if you give me all the tea in China, I'll still say "no": 引伸的意思就是即使你把全中国的茶叶都给我，我依然还是拒绝你
外国人的思维有意思吧!这个说法，大家是否已经牢牢记住了?
怎么用?
当有人让你做不情愿或你绝对不会做的事时，就可以说
“Not for all the tea in China!"
It's like the last one. It's not gonna happen. Forget about it: 所以跟上一个not in a million years很像，指绝对不可能发生的事
8. Not on your Nelly
我们从中国到英国
This is an English expression, just like "Rightio" which means "yes": 这是很英式的一种表达，就像表达yes的“Rightio”
If you have any British friends, you can make them laugh: 如果你有英国朋友，说这句，他们一定会被你逗笑
That's something only your British friend will get: 但是只有英国朋友才听的懂噢
Your American friends won't get it; they'll just stare at you blankly: 如果你跟老美这么讲，他们肯定一脸茫然
但是今天节目其它的说法都英美国家通用哦!
