五、回顾时引导别人的想象

要是……你会干了些什么

要是……情况会怎么样

如果……你会有什么样的感觉？

What would you have done if

What would have happened if

How would you felt if

六、这样回应引导

我不知道，我猜我会

很难说，但是我想我会

当然啦，我……

Oh, I don’t know, I guess I would have……

Hard to say, but I think I would have……

Well, of course, I could have……

七、老实道歉

噢，实在对不起

歉意之深，实在是无以言表(我无法告诉你我是多么的内疚)

我真不知该怎样说才好

万分抱歉

Oh, I’m awfully sorry……

I can’t tell you how sorry I am……

I just don’t know what to say……

I’m extremely sorry。

八、我错了

我为……而道歉

恐怕我得说

真不知该怎样说，……

要解释清楚并不容易

I’ve got to apologize for

I’m afraid I have something to say

I’m not exactly sure how to put this, but

Um, this isn’t easy to explain

九、没关系，我原谅你

没关系，不要在意

算了

不是你的错

啊呀，不要放在心上，真的没什么

千万别自怨自艾了（别再自责了）

Oh, that’s right; don’t worry about it

Forget it

It’ not your fault

Oh, never mind never mind. It really doesn’t matter.

Please don’t blame yourself。

十、开始一个故事

我告诉过你那时我

那使我想起

你竟然提起那件事，真是很有意思。因为类似的事情也曾经在我身上发生过

Did I ever tell you about the time I

That reminds of the time I

Funny you should mention that, because something similar happened to me once

十一、有效控制叙述

言归正传

当我说这句话的时候

不管怎么样,无论如何

长话短说

不敢怎么说，最后的结局就是这样的

To get back to the story

As I was saying

To make a long story short

Anyway, what happened in the end was this:
