道歉可是说是日常生活中使用得最为频繁的语言之一了，在英语中也是如此。道歉不仅要地道，还要符合说话的场合。这就需要我们了解一下英语中不同的道歉方式。
在打扰某人以询问某事的时候，比较口语化的说法是Excuse me，而I beg your pardon则是比较正式的说法。
1.excuse me
Person 1: Excuse me, do you know what time it is?
不好意思，你知道现在几点吗?
Person 2: Yes, it's two o'clock.
两点。
另外，可以用please来加强语气，例如：
Excuse me please, I need to get off.
(不好意思，我要下车。)
2.beg your pardon
Person 1: I beg your pardon. Would you mind helping me a moment?
(对不起，你能帮我一下吗?)
Person 2: Certainly. What can I do to help?
(当然，我该做些什么?)
在这些场合中，人们以道歉来作为对话的开头。如果你是因为做错了某件事或者误解别人而道歉的话，就可以使用以下句型：
3.sorry
I'm very sorry for / that ...
我对...感到非常抱歉
I'm really / awfully / terribly sorry.
我很抱歉
I cannot tell you how sorry I am…
我无法告诉你自己有多么抱歉
sorry about that
对此我感到十分抱歉
I'm really so very sorry indeed
我很抱歉
例句
Person 1: I'm very sorry for stepping on your foot!
(对不起，踩到你的脚了!)
Person 2: Don't worry about it.
(没关系。)
4.apoogize
I apologize if I ...
如果我...那我道歉
I apologize for (+ ing form of verb)
因为...我道歉
I do most sincerely apologize
我作出最真诚的道歉
I do most sincerely and abjectly apologize
非常真挚地道歉
I owe you an apology
我该向你道个歉 |
