Women apologize more often than men do, a new study showed.
一項最新調查研究表明,女性要比男性更頻繁地道歉。
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 offenses the participants perceived they had committed, the researchers saw no differences between the genders.
