Nope
不是
‘Nope’ is used as an informal way of saying no, but only when answering a yes or no question, usually when the answer is not of great significance to the person who asked the question. You often smile when you say ‘nope’.
“Nope”是一种非正式的表示“不”的方式，但仅在回答“是”或“否”问题时使用，通常情况下，回答对提问者来说意义不大。在说“Nope”时你常常要微笑。
‘Nope’ can never be used in the middle of a sentence, and shouldn’t be used if the person who asked the question is going to be annoyed or upset by you giving a negative answer.
“Nope”不能在句子中间使用，如果提问的人对你的否定回答感到恼火或不安时，不要使用这个表达。

Example 1.
例1
It’s 8 o’clock at night and you were supposed to have dinner on the table, but you fell asleep and haven’t made dinner. You know person 1 will be very angry that you didn’t do what they asked. Saying ‘nope’ will only make them angrier. Instead, answer something like:
现在是晚上8点了，你本应该在桌上吃饭的，但你睡着了，还没做晚饭。你知道某一个人会很生气，因为你没有按他们的要求去做。说“不”只会让他们更生气。相反，像如下这样回答问题：
Person 1: Is dinner ready?
第一个人：晚餐准备好了吗?
Person 2: I’m so sorry but I fell asleep and didn’t make anything, but let me order a pizza! What do you want on yours?
第二个人：很抱歉，我睡着了，什么也没做，但是我来点一份披萨吧!你想要什么?
Example 2.
例2
Person 1 is looking for something at work. They don’t seem particularly worried. You can use ‘nope’, as your answer isn’t particularly significant to them.
第一个人在工作时找东西。他们似乎并不是特别担心。你可以用“nope”，因为你的回答对他们来说并不特别重要。
Person 1: Have you seen my stapler?
第一个人：你看到我的订书机了吗?
Person 2: Nope.
第二个人：并没有。
Nah
不
Like ‘nope’, ‘nah’ is an informal way of saying ‘no’. Although it’s also only used to answer yes or no questions, it’s used in a different context. Nah is often used when someone asks if you want / need anything, for example：
就像‘nope’，‘nah’是一种非正式的表达‘不’的方式。虽然它也只用于回答是或否的问题，但它在不同的上下文中使用。当有人问你是否想要/需要什么时，例如：
Person 1: Do you want a lift?
第一个人：你要搭车吗?
Person 2: Nah, I’m alright thanks.
第二个人：不用了，我没事，谢谢。
Or if you can’t be bothered to do something:
或者如果你不想做什么：
Person 1: Do you want to go to the shops today?
第一个人：你今天想去商店吗?
Person 2: Nah.
第二个人：不想去。
Saying ‘no’ softly
轻轻地说“不”
Sometimes you want to say no, but either you’re not sure or you want to soften your answer, because the person you’re answering will be offended by a negative answer.
有时你想说不，但要么你不确定，要么你想使你的回答变得委婉，因为你要回答的人会被否定的回答冒犯。
