    notes:
    向別人表示歉意時,首先要承認自己做錯了事,或做出了不禮貌的行為,并且通常要說明原因,表示遺憾。最簡單的道歉方式是說i'm sorry。但這往往不夠,還需要對你所做的錯事做出解釋之后,做出改正和改進的許諾,表示不會讓錯誤再次發(fā)生。如果你真的做錯了事,給對方造成傷害或帶來不利的影響,這時做無謂的解釋,只能欲蓋彌彰,效果相反。
    常用表達道歉與接受道歉的表達方式:
    致歉
    sorry.
    please forgive my carelessness.
    please excuse me. i have to run.
    i'm really / awfully / terribly sorry.
    i cannot tell you how sorry i am.
    please forgive me. i don't mean that.
    接受道歉
    that's okey.
    don't worry about that.
    just forget it.
    it's nothing.
    it doesn't matter at all.
