播音员：在本节课中，我主要讲解了英语中如何表达委婉的道歉，特别是使用第三条件句（Third Conditional）来表达对过去事件的遗憾和歉意。我首先用一个对话例句 "If I'd known it was going to rain like this, I would have told you I'd join another time." 解释了第三条件句的结构和用法，其中包含了对过去情况的假设（if 从句用过去完成时）和对过去结果的虚拟（主句用 would have + 过去分词）。
随后，我通过一系列的练习题，帮助学习者巩固对过去完成时的理解和运用。这些练习题涵盖了各种不同的情境，例如错过演唱会、忘记带伞、考试不及格等等，旨在让学习者在不同的语境中运用过去完成时，并理解其与第三条件句的搭配关系。
在练习中，我特别强调了过去完成时的构成（had + 过去分词），并纠正了一些常见的错误，例如将过去式误用为过去完成时。我还讲解了如何将“we'd”等缩写形式正确地理解和运用在过去完成时中。
最后，我通过几个例句，例如“If I had known it would rain, I would've told you no.”，“If I had taken a taxi, I wouldn't have missed the concert.”，“If I had helped out more, we would have finished on time.” 和 “If I'd finished earlier, I would have helped you.”，进一步强化了对过去完成时在第三条件句中的应用，并引导学习者识别和理解例句中的过去完成时动词。整个教学过程循序渐进，从讲解语法规则到练习巩固，再到例句分析，力求让学习者全面掌握英语中委婉道歉的表达方式以及过去完成时的运用。
