道歉的藝術要懂一點。I'm sorry. Apology respectfully declined! 教練自製的圖文一看秒懂,今天就學這些好樣的。
道歉 跟 接 受他人道歉 的英文,課本裡面沒有教, 但這輩子肯定要用上幾千遍,所以有些句子要熟記。 這邊教練順便要跟大家提醒, 在擁擠的捷運列車上,要人家「 借過 」, 記得說 → Excuse me 不是 Sorry 。 除非你是不小心推擠到人,覺得很不好意思, 那時候再說 → I'm sorry. Are you okay? 才對。 要強調自己真的很抱歉,可以 加重語氣 ,如: → I'm extremely sorry. → I can't tell you how sorry I am. Please forgive me. → Please accept my sincere apologies. 不會用英文道歉很尷尬, 更尷尬的是對方跟你道歉了,但你卻不曉得該怎麼回答。 如果 真的很生氣 ,可以在對方道歉後說: → Please don't let it happen again . 如果 真的不是很在意 ,可以說: → It's really not necessary. → Let's just forget it. → There is no reason to apologize. → Please don't feel bad about it. 之前教練因為記錯時間跟朋友約會遲到,拼命道歉, 對方回我說: What for? 意思就是 幹嘛道歉,我不會放在心上啦 。後來又說 → It really doesn't matter. Stop apologizing! 最後,如果 不接受別人道歉 呢?那就說 : → Don't tell me you're sorry because you're not! → Apology declined/rejected. 或者說: → Why don't you take your absolution somewhere else, because I'm not interested. 也可以這麼說: → I appreciate what you are saying and glad yo
