在正式場(chǎng)合應(yīng)該怎樣用英語道歉?開會(huì)時(shí),如果你打斷了上司說話,最好怎樣致歉?做報(bào)告時(shí),如果錯(cuò)誤頻出,可以怎樣表達(dá)自己感到非常抱歉?看視頻,學(xué)習(xí)在正式場(chǎng)合用英語道歉說 “對(duì)不起”。
Let's take a minute to look at different ways you can apologise in a formal situation.
Imagine you're in an important meeting at work and you interrupted your boss.
To say sorry, you might say:
Sorry…
Excuse me…
Pardon me…
Apologies…
I sincerely apologise for… interrupting or for the interruption.
Because 'for' is a preposition, you can either use a gerund or a noun.
Now imagine you're in the same important meeting at work and you give a presentation in front of your boss that is incomplete and full of mistakes.
To say sorry, you might say:
I'm afraid I didn't finish the presentation.
Don't be confused – 'afraid' does not mean 'scared' here – it's like sorry, but more formal.
And notice that after 'afraid', we use a full clause or sentence.
1. 工作場(chǎng)所時(shí)需要道歉,比如開會(huì)時(shí)需要打斷他人,可以用到下列句式:
Sorry …
Excuse me …
Pardon me…
Apologies…
I sincerely apologise for...
注意,介詞 “for” 后面可以加 “-ing” 動(dòng)名詞或名詞,比如 “interrupting” 或 “the interruption”。
Sorry for interrupting you earlier.
Pardon me, but may I add one thing to this agenda?
I sincerely apologise for the confusion caused by the miscalculation.
2. 我們還可以用 “I'm afraid...” 的句式來為某情況或某事道歉,這里的 “afraid” 不是 “害怕” 的意思,而是相當(dāng)于更正式一點(diǎn)的 “sorry”?!癐'm afraid” 后接完整從句或一個(gè)句子。
I'm afraid I didn't finish the presentation.
I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the meeting on time.
I'm afraid the new product is underperforming.?
