李阳疯狂英语之国际肌肉三最短文 Chapter3

Expressing opinions is one example of culture difference between east and west. Westerner express their opinions freely. They feel that it is natural for people that have different ideas and don't mind hearing you that differ from their own. You may express frankly¹ what you think  or feel. Of course, you shouldn't be rude in your manner of speech. Statements such as " You are wrong", "You are mistaken", "You don't know", etc are exactly bad. But it is preferable to soft your  tone. You might say, " I don't think you are right", " I am afraid you are mistaken", or "You don't seem to understand".

1 frankly   

adv.坦白地，直率地；坦率地说

参考例句：

• To speak frankly, I don't like the idea at all.老实说，我一点也不赞成这个主意。
• Frankly speaking, I'm not opposed to reform.坦率地说，我不反对改革。
