句子解析

【句子解析】

1. A simple “I’m sorry” is appreciated more than an “I’m sorry, but I was really busy.”
一句简单的“对不起”，比“对不起，但是我真的很忙”要来的有效果。

这个句子是一个简单的比较结构的句子，more than引导的，

例如：She wishes to be treated as nothing more than a common girl.
她希望被对待得只不过像一般的女孩子。

句子中的“I'm sorry”和“I'm sorry, but ...”这两个句子作同位语，对省略了的a simple (sentence)和 an(a) sentence做进一步的解释。

2.You’re a better person for it.
这么做会让你更加成熟。

for这个词在这里意思是“因为，由于”的意思，而不是平时所见到的“为了”的意思，

例如：You must be responsible for what you have done.
你要为自己所做的一切负责。

3.Try not to wallow in feelings of guilt.
不要让自己沉浸在愧疚的深渊里。

try not to do sth意思就是“试图不要做某事”，例如：Try not to be late next time.下次别再迟到了。

wallow in意思就是“陷入，沉溺”。
