notes：
向别人表示歉意时，首先要承认自己做错了事，或做出了不礼貌的行为，并且通常要说明原因，表示遗憾。最简单的道歉方式是说i'm sorry。但这往往不够，还需要对你所做的错事做出解释之后，做出改正和改进的许诺，表示不会让错误再次发生。如果你真的做错了事，给对方造成伤害或带来不利的影响，这时做无谓的解释，只能欲盖弥彰，效果相反。
常用表达道歉与接受道歉的表达方式：
致歉
sorry.
please forgive my carelessness.
please excuse me. i have to run.
i'm really / awfully / terribly sorry.
i cannot tell you how sorry i am.
please forgive me. i don't mean that.
接受道歉
that's okey.
don't worry about that.
just forget it.
it's nothing.
it doesn't matter at all.
never mind.
常用句型：
it was wrong of me.
i hope you will excuse me.
i apologize for that.
...but i'm afraid i'll have to put off the meeting.
i'm really sorry to be late again.
i'm awfully sorry. i didn't realize.
