To be on the Safe Side
保证没走错
In a cinema during a performance one of the audience gets up, makes his way along the row of seats and goes out into the foyer.
在一家电影院里，一名观众在演出期间站了起来，沿着他那排位子走到休息室去了。
A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:
几分钟后，他回到那排位子并问坐在首位的那位男士道：
"Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?"
“对不起，请问我刚才出去的时候是踩着你的脚吗？”
"Yes, but it doesn't really matter. It didn't hurt at all."
“是的，不过没什么关系，一点也不疼。”
"Oh, no, it isn't that. I only want to make sure that this is my row."
“噢，不，我不是这个意思。我只是想确认一下这是不是我的那排位子。”
NOTES:
1. to be on the safe side 为了安全起见
例：Just to be on the safe side, we have to leave ASAP. 为了慎重起见，我们必须尽快地离开这里。
* ASAP 是 as soon as possible 的缩写，这个很常用，大家要记住哦~
2. make one's way 向……进发，朝……走去
例：I made my way towards the harbor. 我朝港口的方向走。
3. at the head of... 在……的最前面；相反，“在……的结尾，末端”就是 at the end of...
4. step on one's foot 踩到某人的脚
如果你不慎踩到了别人的脚，别忘了好好道歉哦：Sorry, I didn't mean to step on your foot. 对不起，我不是故意踩你的。
