第一种情况:
如果今天恰好是你生日,但是你的好朋友忘记了,突然想起来的他可能会对你说:
“I'm sorry,I forgot your birthday.”
面对这种情况的道歉,你可以回:
“It's OK”或者“That's OK”。
第二种情况:
我们幻想这样一种场景,周一你跟好朋友约好要下班一起吃饭,你在餐厅等了她半个小时还没来,一个小时过去了,朋友出现了,对你说了一声:
“I'm sorry I'm late,I had a few things to take care of at work and it was hard for me to get here on time.”
You could respond by saying,"Hey,it happens!"
这个回答能立马缓解朋友心中的对你的歉意,并向对方表明,你原谅他的迟到了,因为你知道对方也不是故意想迟到的对吧!
