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。
