题目内容
16.British people are famous for apologizing in almost every situation.Whether they are apologizing for asking a question or the bad weather,they are probably the number-one nation for apologies.(71)British people always pride themselves on their polite manners.As a result,they used the word"sorry"quite a lot---even when they don't really mean it!
They use the word"sorry"in so many different situations that the (72)meaning of the word has changed a little over time.The two main dictionary definitions(释义) of"sorry"are:1)feeling sad for someone else because of their problems; 2)feeling regret because you've done something wrong.Now,think about this.When they want to ask normally a stranger a question,they start with"Sorry to disturb you".In this situation,are they saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret? Obviously no!
So what does"sorry"really mean?And why do British people use it so much?Well,(73)in the British culture,saying sorry is a way to be polite,especially to people who you don't know very well. It's also a very clever way to get what you want.In a recent experiment,an actor approached(接近) different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones in order to make a call.When he approached one group of strangers and asked them without apologizing first,he was only 9percent successful in borrowing their phones.However,when he apologized to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones,he was 47percent successful.
