上班迟到的口语种种_办公英语

    late for work 上班迟到
    do you feel guilty if you are late for work? one in ten workers said that they arrive late to work at least once a week and about 24% said they arrive late at least once a month.
    情景对话1:
    珍妮迟到了,她不得不向她的主管马林做解释。
    jane: sorry, ma lin, i'm late. 对不起,马林,我迟到了。
    ma lin: jane, that's the second time this week, isn't it? 珍妮,这是本星期的第二次了,是吧?
    jane: yes. my bus was late again. 是的,公共汽车又来迟了。
    ma lin: is it possible for you to take an earlier bus? 你能搭乘一班早一些的公汽吗?
    jane: i think so. i'm going to do that tomorrow. 我想是可以的,我打算明天就这么办。
    ma lin: perhaps we can change your working hours a bit if you wish. 如果你愿意,也许我们可以改一下你得工作时间。
    jane: no, thanks. i can manage. 不用了,谢谢。我能设法应付的。
    ma lin: all right. if there's anything i can do for you, please don't hesitate to let me know. 好的,如果有什么事我能为你做,请尽管告诉我。
    jane: that's very kind of you. ma lin. 你太好了,马林。
    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。
