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.
用法總結
1. 常用的表示 “道歉” 的說法有：say sorry（說對不起）；be sorry（感到抱歉）；apologise（道歉）。我們可以用介詞 “to” 說明 “向” 某人道歉；用 “for” 引出 “為” 某事或某原因而道歉，“for” 后面可加名詞或 “-ing” 動名詞。?
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. 口語中常見的簡單道歉句式如下。注意使用句子的場合，以下句子按比較輕松、不正式至比較嚴肅、正式的順序排列。
My bad.
My mistake.
My apologies.
It's all my fault.
Please forgive me.
I take full responsibility.
It won’t happen again.
