عبارت انگلیسی
excuse
معنی و توضیح
In this podcast, the word “excuse” means a reason that one gives for (not) having done something: “Gregory’s excuse for not having stopped to talk to us yesterday was that he was in a hurry to get to the office.” As a verb, “to excuse” means to forgive someone for something: “Please excuse Vikki for not being at the meeting today, but she was called away to our downtown office.” When you need to interrupt a conversation, it’s a good idea to say, “Excuse me!” because this is a polite way to tell the other people that you need to say something, even though it is rude to speak when they are speaking. At the end of a meal at home, children are sometimes taught to say, “May I be excused?” because this is a polite way to ask for permission to leave the table. 3 these materials on another website or distributing them in any way is prohibited.
