6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
2
Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Beth.
5
In English, there are many ways to apologise, depending on the situation.
6
In formal situations, you could say please forgive me, while to a friend you might just say my bad.
7
And of course, there's the most common phrase of all, I'm sorry.
8
Can you remember a time when you had to apologise, Beth?
9
Oh, I had to apologise this morning because I stepped on someone's toes on the tube.
10
OK.
11
Well, apologising depends on what you've done.
12
So sorry is fine if you accidentally step on someone's toes like you did this morning, Beth.
13
But what if you do something really serious, like the Ghanaian journalist Afia Pukua, who publicly criticised the king of the Ashanti tribe?
14
Here's BBC World Service programme The Fifth Floor covering the story.
15
I guess it's not every day that you end up offending a king, but let's say you did.
16
Would you know how to apologise to him?
17
Recently in Ghana, a journalist made some comments on television about the king of the Asante tribe and soon she found herself at his palace apologising.
18
The presenter says it's not every day that you offend a king.
19
The phrase it's not every day that highlights that what's happened is very unusual.
20
So, how do apologies change from culture to culture?
21
Well, that's what we'll be finding out in this episode, along with some useful new words and phrases.
22
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary from this episode on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
23
Now, I have a question for you, Beth.
24
We know that people from different in different ways.
25
But what might someone do to say sorry if they were from India?
26
Would they a.
27
offer a gift, b.
28
pull their earlobes, or c.
29
bow down?
30
Oh, I am going to guess c.
31
bow down.
32
OK, well, we'll find out if you're right at the end of the programme.
33
Let's return to Afiya Pakur, the journalist who criticised the king of the Ashanti tribe.
34
Her comments divided opinion in Ghana, but eventually Afia decided to say sorry to the king, following strict traditional rules that she dress in black and apologise kneeling down on her knees.
35
Afia's story shows the influence of culture on how people say sorry.
36
Let's listen now as three BBC journalists from different countries explain to World Service programme The Fifth Floor how to say sorry in their culture.
37
I would say that Pakistanis generally, they're not really expressive.
38
And we're also very cheeky.
39
So what we generally do is we would slide an apology in the middle of a conversation, and then very quickly move on to a new topic so that we don't have to sort of be very upfront about it.
40
In Russia, we also have a tradition called Forgiveness Sunday, which happens on the last Sunday before Easter.
41
The tradition is that you call your family and friends and apologize for any swerves you've caused.
42
In Korea, the way of saying sorry varies depending on the relationship between the speaker and the listener due to the complex and horrific system in the language.
43
In many cases, we say 죄송합니다.
44
This is used in formal situations or with people we don't know well.
45
And we often bow when saying 죄송합니다.
46
Journalist Asam Mahmood thinks apologising in Pakistan is different because people are not expressive.
47
They don't usually show what they think or feel.
48
Rather, he says Pakistanis tend to be cheeky, an adjective meaning slightly rude, but in a funny, playful way.
49
In Pakistan, people sometimes avoid being upfront about what they've done.
50
If you're upfront about something, you speak openly about it, so everyone knows your feelings and intentions.
51
Moving now to Russia, the journalist Liza Focht describes a tradition called Forgiveness Sunday, when people apologise to friends and family for sorrows they have caused.
52
Sorrows are sources of sadness or regret.
53
And finally, in Korea, how you say sorry depends on who you're apologising to.
54
Korea has a complicated, honorific system dictating how people above you, in the social order, should be addressed.
55
Honorific means showing respect and honour to someone.
56
Well, there's a saying that sorry is the hardest word.
57
But who knew there were so many ways to say it?
58
Yes.
59
And it's not just words.
60
If you're really sorry, you do something to make things right – like giving a small gift.
61
So Neil, what do people in India do?
62
What's the answer to your question?
63
Yes, well I asked what people in India do to apologise.
64
And what answer did you give me, Beth.
65
I said bow down.
66
Is that right?
67
I'm afraid that was the wrong answer.
68
You should apologise to me for that.
69
It is in fact B in India.
70
It's common to tug your earlobes when apologising.
71
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learned, starting with the idiom, it's not every day that, which is used to say that something is very unusual.
72
An expressive person shows what they think or feel.
73
The adjective cheeky means slightly rude in a funny, playful way.
74
When you are up front about something, you speak openly and clearly so people know your true intentions.
75
Sorrows are sources of sadness or regret.
76
And finally, the adjective honorific means showing respect and honour to someone.
77
Well, I'm sorry to say that once again our six minutes are up.
78
But if you are ready for more just head over to our website bbclearningenglish.com for a quiz and a worksheet for this episode.
79
Bye for now!

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
