After learning that a neighbor who had assaulted me verbally was furious about an oversight I had not known I committed, I wrote a letter in hopes of defusing the hostility. Without offering any excuses, I apologized for my lapse in etiquette(n. 礼节,礼仪) and respect. I said I was not asking for or expecting forgiveness, merely that I hoped we could have a civil, if not friendly, relationship going forward, then delivered the letter with a jar of my homemade jam.
在得知一位曾对我出言不逊的邻居对我无意中的疏忽感到十分愤怒时,我写了一封信,希望化解敌意。我没找任何借口,带着礼貌和尊重为自己的过失道歉。我说我不是请求或期待原谅,只是希望我们以后能拥有和平甚至友好的邻里关系,然后我带着一罐自制果酱把这封信送了过去。

Expecting nothing in return, I was greatly relieved when my doorbell rang and the neighbor thanked me warmly for what I had said and done. My relief was palpable(adj. 明显的;可感知的). I felt as if I’d not only discarded an enemy but made a new friend, which is indeed how it played out in the days that followed.
我完全没想到会有任何回报,所以当门铃响起,那位邻居热情地感谢我的所说、所做时,我非常欣慰。我的欣慰非常明显。我觉得自己不仅减少了一个敌人对不起的英语怎么写,而且新交了一个朋友,在之后的日子里,事情的确是这样发展的。
