【單詞積累】apologize 牛津必修1U3 人教版必修3U1

apologize/??p?l?d?a?z/vi.道歉,謝罪
一、單詞記憶
要記憶這個單詞我們首先復習一下初中的時候我們就學過的單詞,dialogue,名詞,“對話”的意思。這個單詞前面的dia表示between,“在…兩者之間”的意思。后面的logue是詞根,“說”的意思。 dialogue,兩個人說話,就是“對話”的意思。logue這個詞根也會把后面的ue省略掉,只寫成log。
我們今天這個單詞在詞根log的前面加上apo,表示away,“遠離”的意思,后面再加上ize,動詞后綴,apologize就是為了遠離懲罰而說話,這個就是“道歉”。

二、單詞用法
1.apologize to sb. for (doing) sth.:因(做)某事向某人道歉

2.apologize to sb. that…:因…向某人道歉
