当你放手小错误向其他人道歉时,用sorry当然是最简单且最适合的词啦:
Whoops1! Sorry!
Oh! Sorry.
Sorry about that.
There are a few slang2 phrases that you can also use for slight mistakes:
这里还有一些俚语可以用来表示轻微的错误哦:
Oh, my bad.
My fault, bro.
那当你有更紧急的错误,如此道歉会愈加合适:
Im so sorry.
I apologize.
在这样的情况下,有时大家在道歉前会说哦,我的天哪或哦,我的天哪:
Oh my goodness! Im so sorry. I should have watched where I was going.
假如你的交流出现问题,或者提供了错误的信息,你可以说:
My mistake.
I had that wrong.
I was wrong on that.
My apologies.
有时你可以同时说这两个短语,然后在开头或结尾说对不起:
Sorry, my apologies. I had that wrong.
假如你和朋友、爱人或同事有紧急的错误,你不应该用随便的语言道歉。尝试更正式的道歉,譬如:
Id like to apologize.
I want to apologize.
I owe you an apology.
I wanted to tell you Im sorry.
在这类短语之后,你可以加上for:
Id like to apologize for how I reacted yesterday.
大家用最正式的英语写作。在这样的情况下,你可以用这类短语:
I sincerely apologize.
I take full responsibility.
你还可以用以下短语来完成句子:
...for any problems I may have caused.
...for my behavior.
...for my actions.
有的状况下,说英语的人会说sorry,但他们并非真的在道歉。比如,当你需要在拥挤的地方超越某人时,说sorry是非常容易见到的,但你也可以说:
Pardon
Excuse me
你也可以用Sorry?对不起?,Excuse me?让其他人重复他们说过的话。在这样的情况下,你应该用升问题语调。
