商务谈判中如何回避明确地答复

在商务谈判中，有些时候不能给对方一个确切的答案，但是又不能一口否定，那么要使谈判有回旋的余地就得回避明确地答复。

I'm afraid I can't give you a definite reply now. 恐怕我现在无法给你一个明确的答复。
I can't make a decision right now. 我现在无法作出决定。
I just need some time to think it over. 我需要时间考虑考虑。
We are still a little unsure about the prospect¹, though. 不过，我们对于前景还是有点不能确定。
There are certain points that I'll have to consider very carefully. 有些问题我得慎重考虑。

That may well be so. I'm not sure. 很可能是这样的。我不敢确定。
It all depends. 这得看情况而定。

1 prospect   

n.前景，前途；景色，视野

参考例句：

• This state of things holds out a cheerful prospect.事态呈现出可喜的前景。
• The prospect became more evident.前景变得更加明朗了。
