【Dialogue 5】 A: Well, you finally got here. Its about time. Ive been waiting in this restaurant --1--. B: Sorry, Jeanne. You know me. Im always late. A: Everybody knows, and everybodys 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 dont count on it. 【tips】 Its 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 Ive 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。 |
