非常棒的内容

表示道歉其实有很多层次

轻微一点的 my bad 比如不小心碰到人
更常用的 sorry 比较全能
正式场合用 apologize

如果朋友间想显得随意 也可以说 my fault 或者 oops

其实英美人说 sorry 频率特别高 甚至只是表达同情也会用 不完全是真的认错

1.
A:Michelle, I wanted to talk to you. I've been feeling really awful for forgetting to invite you. It wasn‘t intentional at all. I wanted to apologize for this mistake. I really hope you can forgive me.
B:Thanks. Lindsay .I appreciate it.

2.for yelling when hangry
A:Hey Lindsey, I hope you can forgive me for yelling at you the other day. It was completely uncalled for.行为不当
B:Oh, OK. Thanks, Michelle. I forgive you.

3.for telling a secret that you asked me to keep from another friend.

A:Michelle, I take full responsibility for gossiping. It was wrong and I should never have done it. I know you're probably still upset about it.
B:Yep, still upset.
A:I know. I'm so sorry.
