内容简介

英国人是出了名的爱道歉。“道歉” 用英语怎么说？在口语会话中，除了可以说 “I’m sorry.” 以外，还有哪些语句可以用来表示自己因犯错而感到抱歉？看视频，学习用不同的方式说 “对不起”。

文字稿

Hi, I’m Sam from BBC Learning English. People in the UK have a reputation for saying sorry a lot, so let’s have a look at different ways you can use to do this.

So:
– You can say sorry
– You can be sorry
– And you can apologise

In each case, we use the preposition ‘to’ with a person and ‘for’ to give the reason we’re apologising:

I said sorry to my friend for forgetting her birthday.

After ‘for’ you can use a gerund or a noun.

But if you want a simple statement to say I was wrong, you can use any of these:

My bad.
My mistake.
My apologies. 
It’s all my fault.
Please forgive me. 
I take full responsibility. 
It won’t happen again. 

Careful who you say these to – my bad! is very informal and you would probably only say it after making a small mistake. It won’t happen again is probably better in more serious situations.

用法总结

1. 常用的表示 “道歉” 的说法有：say sorry（说对不起）；be sorry（感到抱歉）；apologise（道歉）。我们可以用介词 “to” 说明 “向” 某人道歉；用 “for” 引出 “为” 某事或某原因而道歉，“for” 后面可加名词或 “-ing” 动名词。 

• I said sorry to my friend for forgetting her birthday.
• I‘m sorry for the incovenience.
• She apologised to her brother for breaking his toy by accident.
• I aplogise for my inapropriate joke earlier.

2. 口语中常见的简单道歉句式如下。注意使用句子的场合，以下句子按比较轻松、不正式至比较严肃、正式的顺序排列。

• My bad.
• My mistake.
• My apologies.
• It’s all my fault.
• Please forgive me.
• I take full responsibility.
• It won’t happen again.
