「别」和「不要」

两个字一个意思：别这么干。

别走。             Don't go.
不要哭。           Don't cry.

中文分两个字。英文就一个 don't。

三档语气

温和    →  please don't / you don't have to
普通    →  don't
强烈    →  stop! / cut it out!

动手

别担心。

✅ Don't worry.

不要告诉他。

✅ Don't tell him.

别再玩手机了。

✅ Stop playing with your phone.

别客气。

✅ Don't mention it. / No worries.

小坑：「不要」不是真的"不要"

中文"不要"往往不是"否定 + 要"，而是"别"的语气词。

不要告诉他。    Don't tell him.       ← 别
我不要去。      I don't want to go.   ← 真的"不想要"

区别：

• 命令别人 → don't
• 表达意愿 → don't want to

小卡片

别 / 不要（命令）   →  don't
别再 ×              →  stop ×-ing
不客气              →  no worries / you're welcome
不想要              →  don't want
