【题目】 A sign of weakness?“Sorry” is probably the most over-used word in the United Kingdom: whether they are sorry about the weather or sorry because someone else has accidently hit them. “The willingness of the English to apologize(道歉) for something they haven’t done is worthy of notice.” wrote Henry Hitchings in his aptly–titled Sorry!:

The English and their Manners.

So what about those situations when we realize that we really need to apologize to someone? Is it better to put aside your pride and say you’re sorry, or – as the American actor John Wayne put it – is apologising a sign of weakness?

“People worry that an apology may tell others that you have just done something wrong, rather than as an effort to understand the wronged party’s situation, problems, and feelings,” says Harvard Business School’s Alison Wood Brooks. But she adds, “A good apology is unlikely to have the opposite bad result, and is more likely to increase trust than not apologizing at all.”

As for how to do it, Edwin Battistella, a language expert from Southern Oregon University has the following advice: “The right way to apologize is the way your mother taught you.” Say you threw a stone at a cousin. “She’d have you go and look at them in the eye and say: ‘I’m sorry I threw the stone at you and I won’t do it again’. It’s important to name what you did wrong, to show yourself as being sorry in some way and to promise what might be different in the future,” Battistella says.

Just how many times you’ll need to repeat the apology may be different according to where you live. Wood Brooks and Harvard PhD student Grant Donnelly have collected data that suggests that, for a small mistake, the best number is a single “I’m sorry”. “If it is a big mistake, then making two apologies seems tobe the magic number for expressing empathy (同理心), getting back trust and liking,” Wood Brooks says. Ofcourse, if you’re British, you may need to double that. “A single ‘sorry’ does not count as an apology: we have to repeat it and embellish it with a lot of words, like terribly, truly etc.” says Professor Fox.
