不同场景的道歉
🔸 迟到:I'm sorry I'm late. The traffic was worse than expected.

🔸 误解:I think there was a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to offend you. I'm sorry if I came across that way.

💡 实用小贴士
🔹 学会优雅地拒绝和道歉,这比学会说yes更重要。
🔹 社交英文最重要的是be genuine。人能感受到你是在真正交流还是在表演。
🔄 场景扩展
🔸 好的道歉不需要找借口。'I'm sorry, but...'后面的but会毁掉整个道歉。
🔸 接受道歉也是一种能力。说'I appreciate your apology' 比 'It's fine' 更真诚。
