看美剧学英语高频短语：Make it up to sb

明月

Make it up to sb: To do something good for someone you have upset, in order to become friends with them again; To do something to show that you are sorry about the problems you have caused someone; To make amends to someone. As in I know you're disappointed about missing the movie, but I'll make it up to you.

中文释义：补偿，弥补（某人）。它可以被用于很多种情况，只要是自己觉得亏欠别人、对不起别人、或者认为自己做的没有到位都可以使用。举几个使用场景：1. 当有人邀请你一起做什么事儿，或是请求你的帮助，但你没有时间这么做。2. 当你本来都和其他人计划好了，却在最后临时改变主意。3. 当你不小心冒犯了其他人，想要表达深深的歉意。用“how can I make it up to you?”是在表达比 “sorry” 还要多的歉意。它的潜台词是 “我很抱歉做了不好的事儿，我想补偿、让事情变得好起来”。例句：We are sorry for the trouble caused. we will try our best to make it up to you. （我们很抱歉给您造成困扰，我们会尽全力补救。）
