Fred在一家电子公司上班，和他的课长一起负责公司最大客户，有天两人意见分歧，课长说了一句："I think I'm right, but if I'm wrong. I'll eat humble pie."Fred听了心想，为什么这时候跟“吃派”要扯上边？还是吃“谦虚派”？
原来Eat humble pie跟吃派都没关系，重点在humble，意思是指谦虚地承认错误，也有种不得不坦诚错误的意味，以下来看看怎么用英文认错、道歉。
Eat humble pie坦诚错误
The mayor had to eat humble pie and apologize for misleading many voters.（市长误导了许多选民，所以他必须低头认错。）
I think I'm right, but if I'm wrong. I'll eat humble pie.（我认为我是正确的，如果我错了，我会虚心认错。）
I'm sorry but/I'm sorry that/I'm sorry for诚挚道歉
I'm sorry but I won't be able to attend the conference.（很抱歉但我没办法参与会议。）
I'm sorry that I didn't meet my obligations and complete my work on time.（我很抱歉我没有准时完成工作，履行我的义务。）
I'm sorry for replying so late.（很抱歉这么晚才回覆。）
Make it up to you适度补偿与赔罪
If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, just ask.（如果有什么地方我可以补偿你，尽管说。）
She'd neglected her children and wanted to make it up to them by spending more time with them.（她忽略了她的小孩，所以希望可以多花一点时间来补偿他们。）
Ensure that/Promise that确保
The school will ensure that the election is carried out fairly.（学校会确保选举执行公正。）
I promise that I'll meet my deadlines.（我保证我会赶在截止日完成。）
