【Dialogue 5】 A: Well, you finally got here. It's about time. I've been waiting in this restaurant --1--. B: Sorry, Jeanne. You know me. I'm always late. A: Everybody knows, and everybody's getting tired of it. Even in school you always interrupt the teacher right in the middle of a sentence.The whole class has to wait while you sit down and put down your books.It annoys him and everyone else. B: All I can say is sorry. Maybe --2--, but don't count on it. 【tips】 It's about time 这是表示生气的话，用于责怪对方不遵守时间。除此以外你还可以说"Did you get lost？"既能让他感到歉意也能缓解气氛，但别说成"Get lost！"那可是让人滚蛋的意思。 【精彩短句】 哎呀，我应该早点发现它的。 Oops,I should have thought of that a long time ago. Oh,how stupid I've been.It could be better if i had thought of that earlier. 【文化ABC】--道歉的礼仪2 ③道歉应当大方。道歉绝非耻辱，应该大大方方堂堂正正，不要遮遮掩掩。也不要过分贬低自己，说什么"我真笨"，"我真不是个东西"，这可能让人看不起，也有可能让人得寸进尺。 ④道歉可以借助物语。有些道歉的话难以启齿，给对方写一封信也可以。对西方女士来说，最好的道歉方式，就是送上一束鲜花，婉言示错。这类借物表意道歉的物语，会有很好的反馈效果。 |
