文化背景
In Iran, indirectness is a sign of respect. Using this phrase helps avoid direct confrontation. Similar to Iran, many Middle Eastern cultures value the 'face' of the other person. Japanese culture also values indirectness to maintain 'wa' (harmony). While directness is common, 'bad timing' is still used to soften the blow of a refusal.
