看美剧学英语俚语：With all due respect

Fannie

With all due respect: A phrase used to politely disagree with someone（恕我直言...）. This polite little phrase, dating from 1800 or even earlier, always precedes a statement that either disagrees with what has been said or broaches a controversial point. Thus the Church Times (1978) stated, “With all due respect to your correspondents, I do not think they have answered M. J. Feaver's question.”

中文释义：With all due respect是一个非常实用的短语，并且这个短语是个套话，其中文意思是：（请）恕我直言、或我没有不敬的意思。这里的due respect，可以理解为：（你）应得的尊重。从字面上，可以将整个短语理解为：我非常尊重你。它常常在说话者需要说一些不太好听、不够顺耳、甚至是伤人的话之前使用，目的是让对方觉得好受一些。但实际上，这句话往往并不能起到所期望的效果。也就是说，这句话貌似客气，实则并不客气。例句：With all due respect, I don’t think your idea will work.（恕我直言，我觉得你的想法行不通）。
