「要不」

中文里最顺嘴的提议词。

要不我们走吧？     How about we leave?
要不你先？         Why don't you go first?
要不算了。         Forget it, then.

要不 = 抛一个新建议 = how about / why don't / what if

三张脸

中文	英文
要不……？（提议）	how about / why don't we
要不你来？（让对方做）	why don't you / what if you
要不算了（放弃）	forget it / never mind

动手

要不我们吃火锅？

✅ How about hotpot?

要不你试试？

✅ Why don't you try?

要不明天再说？

✅ How about tomorrow? / Let's do it tomorrow.

要不就这样吧。

✅ Let's just leave it. / Fine, then.

小坑

❌ If not we go?
✅ How about we go?

别直译"要不" = "if not"。英文里 if not 是"如果不……"，不是提议。

——下一课：「算了」「反正」。
