第一篇 約會遲到找借口
【瘋狂短評】
約會遲到在美國是很不禮貌的。為了給別人留下好印象，最好不要遲到。但是如果“遲到”已成事實，也不用害怕。這里有天下無敵的借口供你選擇。
【Kim’s Note】Everyone is late once in a while. Sometimes it truly can’t be helped or avoided. But some people are never on time! They use every excuse possible to explain why they are late. This section is useful to anyone who ever finds himself in the situation of having to explain why he is late.
（一）交通事故借口：
【瘋狂聯想】
把遲到的原因歸于糟糕的交通是天下第一號的借口，“都怪那該死的破爛交通，我也沒辦法啊！”總會讓別人不得不原諒你。
1. Uh, I was stuck『卡住；被困住』 in traffic!
(我碰到交通堵塞了！)
2. Well, there was an accident on the road, you see!”
（哎，你知道嗎？路上有一樁交通事故。）
3. The bus broke down on my way here! It was a nightmare!
（在我來的途中公共汽車壞掉了！真是倒霉！）
4. There were so many people waiting for the bus, I couldn’t even get on it!
（等車的人太多了，我根本就擠不上車。）
【Kim’s Note】The more dramatic your excuse is the better it sounds! If you don’t often make excuses you don’t need to worry about this. If you are a professional excuse maker, these hints will help you sound more believable.
5. I lost my car keys!
（我找不到車鑰匙了。）
【Kim’s Note】This is a very popular excuse in America. It is so common that no one ever doubts it!
6. My car died!
（我的車壞掉了。）
（二）較為“人性”的借口：
7. Oh, I over slept.
（哎，我睡過頭了。）
8. Nobody woke me up!
（沒人叫我起床。）
9. I didn’t go to sleep until 3:00 last night!
（我昨晚3點鐘才睡著。）
10. My alarm didn’t go off『不響了』!
（我的鬧鐘罷工了。）
【Kim’s Note】Another common way of saying this is “I slept in.” I have seen many native speakers use this expression and watched many English learners become confused. It simply means, “I didn’t get up at the time I needed to.”
【瘋狂聯想】
“鬧鐘失靈”、“睡過頭”都是人之常情。相信對方會原諒你的。
