先看简短解释

How to say "I don't believe you" more politely

To doubt someone politely, ask a question instead of making a judgment. "Are you sure you're okay?" and "Can you explain that?" give the other person a chance to rethink or add details. When you need to be clear but calm, say "I'm not convinced."

逐句讲解

Are you sure you're okay? 语气: Gentle, open question

Use it when someone says they're fine but you think they aren't. It gives them a chance to rethink. Don't use it about facts or numbers; it's about how a person feels.

“Papa, are you sure you're okay?”

出自Black or White (2014)
Can you explain that? 语气: Polite and curious

Use it when a story or claim doesn't make sense to you and you want details, not a fight. Say it in a calm voice. A sharp tone can make it sound like an accusation.

“Can you explain that?”

出自Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995)
I'm not convinced. 语气: Calm but firm

Use it when you've heard the explanation and you still have doubts. Convinced means sure that something is true. It's clear and honest, so use it when you're ready to say what you think.

“I'm not convinced.”

出自The Rescuers Down Under (1990)
Are you sure about that? 语气: Light, questioning

Use it when you think a fact or detail may be wrong. It's softer than "That's not true." With friends it can sound playful; with a manager, keep your voice neutral.
I find that hard to believe. 语气: Polite but doubtful

Use it when a claim seems very unlikely. It's more direct than a question, so it fits when you want the person to know you have real doubts. It can sound cold if you say it to a friend who is upset.
That doesn't sound right to me. 语气: Soft, personal doubt

Use it to question information without saying the other person is lying. The words "to me" make it your opinion. It works well at work and in groups.

常见错误

不太合适 ~~I'm not convince.~~

更合适的说法 I'm not convinced.

Convinced is an adjective here and needs the -ed ending. "Convince" is the verb, as in "Can you convince me?"
不太合适 ~~Can you explain me that?~~

更合适的说法 Can you explain that? / Can you explain that to me?

Explain doesn't take a person directly after it. Put the thing first, then add "to me" if you want.
不太合适 ~~Saying "I don't believe you" to a manager or client.~~

更合适的说法 That doesn't sound right to me. Can you explain that?

"I don't believe you" can sound like you're calling the person a liar. A question or a personal opinion keeps the conversation open.
