Located at the southeast coast of China, Xiamen is a tourist city of Fujian Province famous for its attractive seascape. As one of the major seaports since ancient times, Xiamen boasts a wide gulf with deep water but without freezing and silting. The name of 'Xiamen' was consequently given, which means 'a gate of China'. As one of the forerunners of the special economic zones of China, Xiamen mainly consisting of Xiamen Island, Gulangyu Island, the north bank area of the Jiulong River and Tong'an County, is connected with the mainland by the Gaoji Seawall, Xiamen Bridge, etc. Xiamen has been called the Egret Island because of the hundreds of thousands of egrets inhabiting there. This is due to the beautiful natural scenery, the fresh air and the clean environment of the city.

Being of a subtropical monsoon climate with mild weather all year round expect the typhoon months, Xiamen is an ideal tourist destination for you. It is a typical littoral city with abundant tourist attractions such as islands, mountains, temples and parks, etc., providing you with a full sightseeing schedule. The well-known Gulangyu Island, Nanputuo Temple and other tourist areas like Jimei, Hulishan Battery, Wanshiyan, etc. are highly recommended. A sea tourist line is also available for you to enjoy the amazing scenery of many beautiful small islands around.

Xiamen enjoys convenient transportation. You can go there by air, by train, by coach or by sea. The transportation within the city is also satisfying.

How do you express disagreement?

 

化骨绵掌

以退为进

坦诚相待

反话正说

 

I knowI seeI understand

 

一档,我完全同意。

I completely agree.

明白且同意:I understand, and I completely agree.

 

二档,我同意

I know and I agree.

 

三档,大部分同意。

I see your point, and I agree on the whole, but…

I see your point = I understand

 

四档,部分同意

see what you mean, and to a certain extent I agree, but…

 

1. I take your point, but have considered…

我明白你的意思,但是考虑到

Take your point= I understand it

 

2. I see what you mean, but I tend to disagree…

我明白你的意思,但是我不是特同意。

Tend to do sth, 表示比较有倾向,有可能做某事。

 

五档,是不是我们经常会去说,I don't agree, I can't agree

那这里,我们化骨绵掌,之以退为进的说法就是:

I know how you feel, but I'm afraid that I can't agree,

练习:

 

----It's necessary for us to take daily exercise.

----I agree ______ you.

At

On

To

With

Meaning

Sense

Point

Idea

 

I cannot totally ______ your point, but ____ I think yours is reasonable.

Take; at large

Take; by and large

Carry; by and large

Bring; at large

 

They _______ use first names in most situations, and speak freely about themselves.

 

I see/I understand/I know/take (your point/what you mean/how you feel) + 不同档 就好了

Point 可以换成其他同义词:

Idea/opinion/point of view/view…

I see what you mean, but have considered…(四档)

6. I know how you feel, but I'm afraid I can't agree.

 

I don't agree+全部/完全/强烈等副词。

如,I totally disagree with you.

I disagree entirely. I totally don't agree with you.

 

Shall I take 3 days annual leave to make the retreat 6 days? I've never been abroad so I'd like to make it worthwhile.

那这个时候,老板说了,我明白你的意思,也理解你的感受,但你要知道,我们每个人还是要按公司规定办事的。

I totally understand what you mean and how you feel, but as you know, everyone should follow company rules and regulation.

坦诚相待

To be系列就是 To be honest, to be frank

 

To be quite honest, to be quite frank

To be extremely honest,  to be extremely frank,
