Complaining 抱怨 It's a good idea to be as polite as possible even when complaining about something. 1.A: I wish you wouldn't play the TV so loud. B: Sorry. Where you trying to sleep? A: Yes, And while I think of it, please ask when you want to borrow my records. B: I'm sorry. You're right. I should have asked. 2.A: Do you think you could keep the noise down? B: I'm sorry. Am I keeping you awake? A: Yes. And another thing, would you mind not making long distance calls. B: I'm sorry. I thought you wouldn't mind. 3.A: That radio's pretty loud. Could you turn it down, please? B: Sorry. Was I disturbing you? A: Yes. And something else, please don't borrow my clothes without asking. B: Sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking. I won't do it again. 4.A: You don't have to play that record so loud, do you? B: I'm sorry. Has it been bothering you? A: Yes. And please ask me the next time you want to use something. B: I'm sorry. I meant to ask you. |
