Domanda in primo piano
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
Bend over backwards = inconvenience yourself, put forth unreasonable effort
I'm happy to help, but don't expect me to bend over backwards.
within reason = as long as it is reasonable
I'm happy to help, within reason.
Put myself out = go beyond what you feel you can reasonably/realistically do or offer
I'm happy to help, but I'm not going to put myself out.
"Within reason" is the only listed example that's polite. I'd use that one unless you know the person well.
If you want to be more vague, you could blame your potential unavailability on other responsibilities. Examples: I'm happy to help when I have time. I'm happy to help when I can.
