在商务交际中践约是很失礼的，但一旦呈现紧迫情况，践约是不免的。这时要特别稳重处置。处置的办法一是要及时的告诉对方并真挚的抱愧，耐性地阐明践约的缘由，二是要捉住时刻从头组织约会时刻。
对话背就梁
付丽达招待了一位与林先惹事前约好的梅伯里先生，但林先生正在忙于另一紧迫事务，她只好向梅伯里先生说明，请他改日再来，并标明抱愧。

f: fu ridam: mr. maybury, visitorf: good morning, mr. maybury. can i help you?m: yes, i have an appointment with mr. lin.f: i’m afraid mr. lin is engaged in an urgent business at the moment. would you mind waiting?m: well. how long will it be?f: about half an hour.m: oh, that’s too long. i have another appointment at 11:00.f: can the assistant manager(副司理) deal with it?m: no. i got in touch with mr. lin myself yesterday and discussed details with him on the telephone. i doubt if anyone else would know about the matter.f: perhaps you would like to make an appointment for some other time?

m: all right. that’s the only thing we can do at the moment. i’ll come again on friday. how about 10:30?f: i’ll will take down all of these, and ask for mr. lin’s idea. does he have your phone number?m: yes, but i’ll leave my card just in case he has lost the one i gave him.f: thank you, mr. maybury. i’m sorry about the confusion but we’ll see you on friday.m: yes, thank you. goodbye.

当然，关于林先生，当他开完那个紧迫商务会议之后，从付丽达那里得知mr. maybury交游后，大约从速给mr. maybury致电表达抱愧，并招认再次接见会面的时刻。一般假定践约，咱们可以用以下口语表达你的抱愧：

i am sorry for forgetting our appointment.我为忘掉咱们的约会感到抱愧。

please give me a chance to explain to you why i missed meeting you.请给我一个机缘，让我向你说明，为何我没来见你。

i hope you werent

too upset at my missing our meeting. it was due to circumsta nces beyond my control.我期望你没因为我的践约而太生气。因为情况超乎了我的控制。

is there any way that i can make up for my forgetfulness?有没有办法可以让我为我的善忘抵偿差错呢?我想林先生致电曩昔可以这样说：i am sorry for breaking our appointment. i hope you werent too upset about this.

另外，我常常说的：你践约啦！怎么说：
根据不怜惜况，中抄文“你践约了”有不一样袭意义。

当或人耽搁了一个约会，接见会面，商务商洽，看医生等，

“你践约了”用：

you missed the appointment.当或人违背了原知先约好的承诺等，道

“你践约了”用：

you broke your promise.
