"I should NOT have said that" 后悔说错话的真实反应 😬
大声读出来，把标黄的搭配直接偷走用到自己嘴里。
Did you see her face when I said that?
你看到我说完那句她的表情了吗？
Yeah, she went completely quiet.
嗯，她一下就不说话了。
I didn't mean it like that, though.
但我不是那个意思啊。
Okay but—wait, no—the thing is, you kinda did say her project was pointless, like in front of everyone.
不是，等下——问题是，你确实说了她那个项目没意义，还是当着所有人面说的。
I said it could use more direction. That's not the same thing... right?
我说的是可以再明确一下方向。这不是一回事吧……对吧？
That came out wrong and I knew it the second I heard myself.
话一出口我就知道说拧了。
Should I text her now, or would that make it worse?
我现在发消息给她，还是会越描越黑？
I feel like if you wait till tomorrow she's just gonna sit with it all night and build a whole story.
我觉得你要等到明天的话，她今晚会一直想，越想越严重。
What would I even say?
我能说啥啊？
Don't overthink the wording. Just be real.
别纠结措辞了。真诚点就行。
I'm so bad at apologies.
我真不擅长道歉。
Like, do I explain why I said it, or does that just sound like I'm making excuses?
比如，我要不要解释我为什么那么说？还是听起来像在找借口？
okay I typed something, can you read it before I send
我打了一段，你发之前帮我看看
"Hey, I've been thinking about what I said earlier and I realize it came across really dismissive."
"嘿，我一直在想我之前说的话，我意识到听起来很不尊重人。"
Solid start. Maybe lose the "hey" though—it's too casual for an apology.
开头不错。不过把"嘿"去掉吧——道歉用这个太随便了。
What if she doesn't respond?
她要是不回呢？
I mean, she has every right to be upset, so I guess I just... wait?
我是说，她完全有理由生气，那我就……等着？
If I were her I'd probably need a day or two before I felt like talking.
换我是她的话，大概也得缓个一两天才想搭理人。
She left me on read. Cool cool cool.
她看了不回。行吧行吧行吧。
To be fair, you literally just sent it four minutes ago.
说句公道话，你才发了四分钟。
I keep replaying it—like, I could hear myself going too far and I still didn't stop.
我一直在回想——就是，我能感觉到自己说过头了，但就是没刹住。
That's the worst part, honestly.
最难受的就是这个。
Ugh, and Marcus definitely noticed because he gave me that look.
而且 Marcus 肯定看出来了，因为他给了我那个眼神。
Oh wait—she's typing.
等等——她在打字。
She said, "I appreciate you saying something. Let's talk tomorrow."
她说，"谢谢你说这些，明天聊吧。"
See? That's not bad. She's not shutting you out; she just needs space.
看吧？还行啊。她没把你拒之门外，就是需要缓一缓。
If I hadn't sent that text I would've been up all night spiraling, so—yeah, okay, I'm glad I did it.
要是没发那条消息，我今晚肯定一直胡思乱想，所以——嗯，还好发了。
Next time just count to three before you say something in a meeting.
下次开会发言之前先在心里数到三。
There's not gonna be a next time.
不会有下次了。
