10、 。AA sincere, heartfelt apology is a powerful step toward mending hurt feelings and finding a settlement.An improper apology, on the other hand, can be worse than none at all.1. “Im sorry I said that, but I never would have if you hadnt behaved the way you did.”We are hearing blame. “Look what you m
11、ade me do.” This is not an apology for ones behavior butactually a way to hold the other person responsible for ones behavior. In other words, “You causedme to say this to you.” We are all responsible for our behavior, no matter what the other person says ordoes. A heartfelt apology is to recognize
12、the pain we cause and own our behavior: “Im sorry that Ireacted the way I did and upset you.”2. “Im sorry if I upset you.”This is an example of a conditional apology that doesnt truly admit any regret or personalresponsibility. By using the word “if,” you are communicating that the problem isnt real
13、ly about whatyou did, but is about how the person reacted to what you did instead. Basically, this type of实 验 部 高 二 期 中 英 语 第 3 页 共 1 0 页“non-apology” places the blame back onto the person its directed at. Simply remove the word “if,”and your apology can take on a whole new meaning: “Im sorry I upse
14、t you. I will make sure to bemore considerate and careful with my words in the future.”3. “I may have done this, but you did that!”Try to avoid keeping score and bringing up times when the other person was in the wrong. An apologyis about you admitting the wrongfulness of your own actions and making
15、 good; it is not about pointingfingers at other people as a way to defend your actions.16. The first apology actually means, “Im sorry but _”.A. I didnt mean so B. I am to blameC. it was not my fault D. I didnt say anything wrong17. Who is to blame inApology 2 without “if”?A. The listener. B. The sp

42、four”. 32 :If it is a two-digit flight number, we pronounce it as a “regular” number. 33 . It is alsopossible to use the individual numbers “three four”.34 . So, Flight 304 would be pronounced “three zero four”. You would not say “threehundred and four”.For four-digit flight numbers there are two po
