A man or The man? Do we know who that man is?

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These various expressions for negation span a spectrum of formality and tone. In the lexicon of everyday conversation, one might simply assert "no," "nope," or "nah," and even employ a touch of informality with "not gonna happen." When a matter is more absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, no" and "under no circumstances" make the position clear. In informal settings, a definitive refusal might take the form of "not a chance" or "ain't gonna happen," perhaps even with a touch of camaraderie, as in "nah, mate." For matters requiring decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I'm afraid the answer is no" or "I must decline," while adding regret, as in "regrettably, no," imparts a sense of genuine consideration. Politeness tempers the refusal in phrases such as "I'm sorry, but no" and "thank you for considering me, but I'll have to say no," expressing gratitude for the offer. The witty turn of phrase adds a touch of humor to the refusal, suggesting impossibility with expressions like "I'd sooner sprout wings and fly" or "when pigs fly." In more elevated circles, the upper class might communicate their refusal with statements like "I regret to inform you that the answer is in the negative" or "it would not be fitting, I'm afraid," while maintaining an air of politeness. For royalty, a refusal is conveyed with grace and tact, as in "one must respectfully decline" or "I cannot acquiesce to that request," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.

How To say 'NO' in various English Registers

--------------------------------------------------
大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。我平时喜欢听歌，有一些中文歌曲我觉得很好听，歌词也很美，想和大家分享一下。今天我们要听的这首歌叫《错位时空》，2021年1月发行后就在网上爆红，到处都可以听到这首歌。希望你喜欢。
《错位时空》
填不满半排观众的电影
直到散场时突然亮起灯
字幕定格在某某出品和发行
我目送 他们行色匆匆
像个自不量力的复读生
完不成金榜题名的使命
命不是猜剪刀石头布的决定
那么任性
我吹过你吹过的晚风
那我们算不算 相拥
可如梦初醒般的两手空空
心也空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
是否看过同样 风景
像扰乱时差留在错位时空
终是空 是空
数不完见证许愿的繁星
没灵验谁来安慰坏心情
十字路口闪烁不停的信号灯
有个人 显然心事重重
三个字 只能说给自己听
仰着头不要让眼泪失控
哪里有可以峰回路转的宿命
我不想听
我吹过你吹过的晚风
那我们算不算 相拥
可如梦初醒般的两手空空
心也空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
是否看过同样 风景
像扰乱时差留在错位时空
终是空 是空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
空气里弥漫着 心痛
可我们 最后 在这错位时空
终成空
我吹过你吹过的晚风
空气里弥漫着 心痛
可我们 最后 在这错位时空
终成空 成空
