【正文】 ng （道歉） in almost every situation. 1 we are apologizing for asking a question, for our bad weather or we sneeze before others （打噴嚏）, we are probably the numberone nation for apologies. We pride ourselves on our polite 2 in public. As a result, we use the word sorry quite a lot—even when we don39。t really 3 it! Usually, if you want to ask someone for the time, you would start by saying Sorry to bother you. Do you know the time? If you39。re five minutes late for an appointment （約會）, you would generally 4 the person by saying Sorry, I39。m late! We use the word sorry in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has slightly 5 over time. The two main dictionary definitions （定義） of sorry are: feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or feeling regret because you39。ve done something wrong. Usually, when you want to ask a stranger a question, you 6 with Sorry to disturb you. In this situation, we aren39。t saying sorry because we feel sad for that person or because we feel regret. So what does sorry really mean? Well, in the British 7 , saying sorry is a way to be polite, especially to people who you don39。t know very well. It39。s also a very 8 way to get what you want. 9 , an actor asked different people on a rainy day if he could use their mobile phones. When he asked one group of strangers without apologizing first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. 10 , when he apologized to another group about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying sorry is not just being polite, but it is also a good method to get what you want too!1. A. WhenB. WhetherC. BeforeD. Though2. A. activitiesB. conversationsC. mannersD. discussions3.
