（9）。Apologizing 道歉
Sometimes it is necessary to tell someone bad news gently.
1.A： I'm afraid I spilled coffee on the tablecloth.
B： Oh, don't worry about it.
A： I want to apologize. Is there anything I can do？
B： Just forget about it. I never did like it anyway.
2.A： I'm really sorry, but I seem to have misplaced your scarf.
B： Oh, that's all right.
A： I'm very sorry. Can I get you another one？
B： No. Forget about it. It's not important.
3.A： I'm sorry, but I can't find the book you lent me.
B： That's OK.
A： I really feel bad about it. Let me buy you a new one.
B： No. Don't be silly. I wouldn't dream of letting you do that.
4.A： I feel terrible, but I've just broken your ashtray.
B： It's nothing to get upset about.
A： I don't know what to say. I'd like to replace it.
B： No. It's out of the question.
