工作学习 / 外语学习 / Somebody said: "Sorry for disrespecting you, unintentionally." It equals to "I am unintentionally sorry for disrespecting you." I knew what he meant, but the way it was phrased imprecisely interpret what he wanted to express.He could simply say "Sorry for disrespecting you. I said that unintentionally." or "Sorry, I didn't meant to say that." or "I didn't meant to disrespect you." or "I didn't say that intentionally."

You mistakenly put the adverb in the wrong place, little bit like putting the cart before the horse!

I like the phrase you use: put the cart before the horse, which reminds me of House of Cards, the memory is still fresh.

"Sorry for disrespecting you, unintentionally." is seen as "Sorry for my unintentionally disrespecting you."

你的这句"Sorry for my unintentionally disrespecting you."，把my或you去掉任一个，句子就通顺了。所以那天你一写出来我就说它是病句。

"Sorry for disrespecting you".... according to my teenage son.... is "stupid", unless he is joking. 这也是我想说的。除非是以夸张的，讽刺的语气，我想不出还有那种情形，会有人这样说。

如果不是讽刺，挖苦，那这样的表达是有待商榷的，无论是在正式或非正式的场合。这不是语法的问题。"sorry for disrespecting you" or "sorry for being rude" is OK on paper, but I don't remember ever heard anything like that. People may say.... sorry for my comments on.... or I apologize for (what i said or die).. It is disrespectful and ....

呵呵，无独有偶，前两天我也说过。“语感更好的，能听出里面的嘲讽。酱紫。”

这是语用的话题。刺哥的表达毫无语法问题，相反，其遣词运用了修辞手法，这是超出平铺直叙的英语的，哪里是那凭空挑剔的三剑客所能够理解的呢。没有金刚钻就揽瓷器，那是要砸缸的。还是看一点语用学吧。

而红卫兵的 { 好心，给你一个地道的，你自己去琢磨琢磨： sorry for being rude to you，didn't mean it。} 则完全把原贴者的嘲讽的语气改成了真实的道歉，简直是强行叫人左脚穿右鞋。

看看原帖的context，发帖者就是嘲讽的语气啊。可惜，蒲公英、冬暴、红卫兵都理解不了啊。

回头再看这句"Sorry for disrespecting you, unintentionally."问题出在这个逗号上，逗号一点，"unintentionally“就修饰整句的谓语am。”Sorry for xxxx“这种表达省略了主谓”I am“，如果逗号去掉，说”unintentionally“修饰”disrespecting“也还说得过去。

Sorry for 之后的部分，更长的都有，之间有逗号的也不少见。

你对逗号的作用是只知其一不知其二啊。"Sorry for disrespecting you, unintentionally."其实，逗号之后的部分【还可以】看做是【补充说明】："Sorry for disrespecting you, but I did that unintentionally."
