如何投诉和道歉
到不满意的事情和对待需要投诉时,礼貌地说比较奏效。而且有趣的是,你可能先要说SORRY,再提出你的投诉,这样显得很有教养和礼貌,你的问题才会得到更圆满的解决。
比如,在商店里,收款员找错了钱,你可以说:
"Excuse me, I think you've given me the wrong change"
或者 "Sorry, I think this change is wrong. I gave you $20, not $10."
在酒店里房间的调温器坏了:
"Excuse me, but there's a problem with the heating in my room."
"Sorry to bother you, but I think there's something wrong with the
air-conditioning."
失窃了:
"I'm afraid I have to make a complaint. Some money has gone missing from my hotel room."
房间没有整理:
"I'm afraid there's a slight problem with my room - the bed hasn't been made."
当人们发现自己错了而道歉,一般都会说SORRY,然后再提出把事情做好的解决办
法。
比如对应上面对调温器的投诉:"Excuse me, but there's a problem with the heating."
或者 "I'm sorry - I'll get someone to check it for you."
或者 "Sorry to hear that - I'll send someone up."
