李阳疯狂英语突破口语要素:口语要素[道歉用语]
第三节 道歉用语
【编者按】
Everyone makes mistakes! But, not everyone knows how to make an apology. All too often the first response to a mistake is to blame someone else. Effectively expressing a sincere1 apology is a valuable function that will not only show off your English, it will also show off your excellent manners. Showing consideration for others is an important part of effective communication.
金无足赤,人无完人,每个人都会犯错。但是,不是每个人都知道在犯错后该怎样道歉。大多数人经常在犯错后第一反应就是责备他人。及时有效地表达一份真诚的道歉是至关重要的,它不仅可以向他人显示你用英语道歉的水平,而且可以体现你雍容的风度。向他人表达你的体贴是人与人之间进行有效沟通的一个重要部分。
