我迟到了不是'I am late'
something s come up 出了点事
something s come up 出了点事
一年有365天,大家难免会碰上几次堵车、修路的情形,有时候虽然我们不想迟到但还是迟到了。
如果别人问你今天怎么迟到了,我们可以说something s come up。这个表达其实是something has come up,come up可以表示突然发生,这句话的意思就是突然发生了一些事打乱了计划。
例句:
Something s come up,my car ran out of gas on the way to work.
我出了点事情,来公司的路上我的车没汽油了。
The alarm didn t go off 睡过头了
春困秋乏夏打盹,睡不醒的冬三月。一年四季里,都有人因为睡过头而迟到。
睡过头用英语来说就是sleep in和oversleep,但是迟到原因直接说自己睡过头了会有点尴尬。老师教给大家一个睡过头更委婉的表达。大家可以说the alarm didn t go off。字面意思是没有听到闹钟响,我们也可以理解为睡过头了。
例句:
The alarm didn t go off, I got up at nine o clock this morning.
我睡过头了,我今天早上九点钟才起床。
I m sorry to have kept you waiting 久等了
约会时迟到了,我们应该诚恳的表示歉意,不能只说一句I am late就完事了。这时候,我们可以说I am sorry to have kept you waiting,意思是抱歉让你久等了。
例句:
I m sorry to have kept you waiting, I will come on time tomorrow.
我很抱歉让你久等了,我明天一定准时到。
