大家好,今天我們分享一個非常有用且地道的表達——「stand corrected」, 這個短語的含義不是指「站姿正確」,其正確的含義是:
stand corrected 承認錯了

我弄錯了——建立的年代是1411年,而不是我寫的1412年。
I stand corrected-it was in 1972 I got divorced, not 1971.
我承認錯誤——我是1972年離婚的,不是1971年。
A: "No, John, the wedding was in Nevada, not Utah."
不,約翰,結婚是在內華達州,而不是猶他州。
B: "Oops, I stand corrected."
哦,我弄錯了。

我意識到我指責錯他了,我承認錯誤。
