流利美语随你讲Lesson22

　　【Dialogue 5】

　　A: Well, you finally got here. Its about time.

　　Ive been waiting in this restaurant --1--.

　　B: Sorry, Jeanne. You know me. Im always late.

　　A: Everybody knows, and everybodys getting tired of it.

　　Even in school you always interrupt the teacher right in the middle of a sentence.The whole class has to wait while you sit down and put down your books.It annoys him and everyone else.

　　B: All I can say is sorry. Maybe --2--, but dont count on it.

　　【tips】

　　Its about time 这是表示生气的话，用于责怪对方不遵守时间。除此以外你还可以说Did you get lost?既能让他感到歉意也能缓解气氛，但别说成Get lost!那可是让人滚蛋的意思。

　　【精彩短句】

　　哎呀，我应该早点发现它的。

　　Oops,I should have thought of that a long time ago.

　　Oh,how stupid Ive been.It could be better if i had thought of that earlier.

　　【文化ABC】--道歉的礼仪2

　　③道歉应当大方。道歉绝非耻辱，应该大大方方堂堂正正，不要遮遮掩掩。也不要过分贬低自己，说什么我真笨，我真不是个东西，这可能让人看不起，也有可能让人得寸进尺。

　　④道歉可以借助物语。有些道歉的话难以启齿，给对方写一封信也可以。对西方女士来说，最好的道歉方式，就是送上一束鲜花，婉言示错。这类借物表意道歉的物语，会有很好的反馈效果。
