替朋友担保求宽限:good for it

有人带着刚出来的朋友去见债主,想替他把还款往后拖。见面先交代 Just let me do the talking(由我来说),谈崩时又冒出一句 good for it(有能力还钱),债主顺势把担保责任推回给他。想学担保、求宽限、把责任说清楚,这两句都够硬。

发生了什么

有人带着刚出来的朋友去找债主,见面先交代 Just let me do the talking(由我来说),不让朋友乱开口。对方追问钱在哪里,得到的回答是今天没钱,场面越谈越僵。有人先把还款往后拖,说三天不可能;接着有人提议 put him on a plan(给他定分期还款),对方当场驳回。最关键是 good for it(有能力还钱):一句话把担保责任摊到开口的人身上。求宽限、替人担保、谈还款计划时,这些表达都能直接搬去用。

No one's saying you're not the man. Just think of this as a business decision.

没人说你不是当家的。就把这当成一笔生意上的决定。 先给面子再谈条件,软话里藏着逼人让步的刀。

If you think he's good for it, it's on you too.

如果你觉得他还得起,那责任也算你一份。 一句担保把风险原样推回去,短得没有退路。
