1
In English, there are many ways to apologise, depending on the situation.
2
In formal situations, you could say, please forgive me, while to a friend you might just say, my bad.
3
And of course, there's the most common phrase of all, I'm sorry.
4
Can you remember a time when you had to apologise, Beth?
5
Erm.. oh, I had to apologise this morning because I stepped on someone's toes on the tube.
6
OK.
7
Well, apologising depends on what you've done.
8
So sorry is fine if you accidentally step on someone's toes like you did this morning, Beth.
9
But what if you do something really serious, like the Ghanaian journalist Afia Pakua, who publicly criticised the king of the Ashanti tribe?
10
Here's BBC World Service programme The Fifth Floor covering the story.
11
I guess it's not every day that you end up offending a king, but let's say you did.
12
Would you know how to apologize to him?
13
Recently in Ghana, a journalist made some comments on television about the king of the Asante tribe,
14
and soon she found herself at his palace apologizing.
15
The presenter says it's not every day that you offend a king.
16
The phrase, it's not every day that, highlights that what's happened is very unusual.
17
So how do apologies change from culture to culture?

什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
