女性更容易说＂对不起＂

　　Women apologize more often than men do, a new study showed.

　　一项最新调查研究表明，女性要比男性更频繁地道歉。

　　But it"s not that men are reluctant to admit wrongdoings, the study showed. It's just that they have a higher threshold for what they think warrants reparation. When the researchers looked at the number of apologies relative to the number of offenses¹ the participants perceived they had committed, the researchers saw no differences between the genders².

　　研究显示，并不是男性不愿意道歉，只是他们认为值得道歉的标准应该更高一些。当研究人员把被调查者道歉的次数和他们认为自己冒犯别人的次数放在一起比较，结果发现两性之间不存在差异。
