或者
Frankly, we can't agree with your proposal.(坦白地讲，我无法同意您的提案。)
如果是拒绝，可以说：
We're not prepared to accept your proposal at this time. (我们这一次不准备接受你们的建议。)
有时，还要讲明拒绝的理由，如
To be quite honest, we don't believe this product will sell very well in China. (说老实话，我们不相信这种产品在中国会卖得好。)
谈判时，由于语言沟通问题，出现误解也是在所难免的。可能是对方误解了你，也可能是你误解了对方。在这两种情况出现时，你可以说：
No, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. What I was trying to say was... (不，恐怕你误解了。我想说的是…….)
或者说：
Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. Then I go along with you. (哦，对不起，我误解你了。那样的话，我同意你的观点。)
