词语用法

常见错误

词源解说

v.(动词)

apologize的意思是因做事不周或不当而表示歉意。可指提出掩饰性的情况，以免见怪；也可指坦率承认错误，以作弥补。

apologize通常用作不及物动词,表示“向某人道歉”,接to sb; 表示“因某事道歉”,接for sth; 表示“因某事向某人道歉”,则接to sb for sth。

apologize也可接that从句,这时用作及物动词,意思是“道歉说…”。apologize还可引出直接引语。

apologize在英式英语中也常写作apologise。

v.(动词)

我过会儿再向他道歉。

误 I'll apologize him later.

正 I'll apologize to him later.

析 apologize是不及物动词。表示“向某人道歉”要用apologize to sb 的形式,而不能在apologize后直接跟sb。

那小孩因打破了我的眼镜而道歉。

误 The child apologized to me at breaking my glasses.

正 The child apologized to me for breaking my glasses.

我因弄错了这件事而向你道歉。

误 I apologized to you to be mistaken about it.

正 I apologized to you for my being mistaken about it.

服务员为自己的无礼向顾客道歉。

误 The waiter apologized to the customer in being so rude.

正 The waiter apologized to the customer for being so rude.

析 apologize是不及物动词,表示“因…而道歉”,应该用for引出道歉的原因。

☆ 1590左右进入英语，直接源自希腊语的apologos；*初源自中古法语的apologie，意为因过错而说话。
