  無論你是一個多麼有才的人,但面對排山倒海般的工作時,難免會忙中有錯,在職場上總會有出錯的時候。正所謂「錯就要認,打就要企定」,若果犯了錯誤,就必須坦然承認過失,並且要表現得誠懇得體、落落大方。可是,做錯事情後,光光道出一句 ’Sorry’ 又是否足夠呢?從小到大,每當我們做錯事情的時候,總會千篇一律地說出一句‘Sorry’,可是你可曾想過一句‘Sorry’其實未必能夠讓對方感受到你的誠意呢?如何運用語言得體的表達歉意絕對是一門學問,在不同場景下或是面對不同對象時,我們其實可以以不同的內容和方式道歉。當造成一些不可避免的誤會後,可以怎樣用英文向對方道歉和解釋?除了說一句‘Sorry’,我們還可以說些甚麼呢?不小心冒犯甚至開罪了同事或客戶的時間,又可以怎樣用說話去道歉?本周,大家一起學習如何誠懇地用英文認錯和道歉吧!
