留美老师带你每日说英文 第363期:礼貌的道别方式

 　　台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

　　Another way that you can use which we often use to be polite¹ to the other person² is rather³ than indicating⁴ that you are in a hurry to go, you turn around, and you say to them, "Well, I won't keep you any longer. You're probably⁵ busy." Or, "I'll let you go."
