“改天吧”

这个中文里用来婉拒他人的万能句

不要太好用

那英文里应该怎么说?

"改天吧"英文怎么说?

可以直接翻译

How about another day?

Maybe some other time.

虽然这样说没问题

只是实在有些死板,显得好没意思……

用一句英文俚语来说就活泼多了

Take a rain check

“take a rain check”字面意思是“拿一张雨票”。

短语起源来自美国的棒球文化,如果比赛时因恶劣天气而不得不终止,官方将发给观众交换券(check),凭借此券可以观看下一次的比赛。

由此衍生出了 take a rain check,使用在将约定改期的情况下。

例句

Thank you, but I have to take a rain check on your invitation.

谢谢你,但很抱歉我不能接受你的邀请,改天吧。

Would you like to have dinner with me tonight?

你愿意和我共进晚餐吗?

I'll take a rain check! I've got stuff to do.

改天吧,我有点事。
